Advance Australia Fair Persuasive Speech

So you’re thinking about joining FFA, and you don’t know if it’s a good fit for you. You don’t think you fit the stereotype that is meant to be in FFA. First let's start off with what FFA stands for, it stands for Future Farmers of America. While FFA is the traditional name we had a name change in 1988 to show the diversity in agriculture that it is not only farming but a variety of different focuses. So even if you're not into farming there is more then likely something that you would find that you would enjoy.

In a world surrounded by media, people are reliant on truthful and honest information to form accurate conceptions of current events and issues. Australia is a self-proclaimed multicultural country who aims to achieve equality and equity. However, through the analysis of the comparative text between, Stan Grant’s ‘The Australian Dream’ and Pauline Hanson’s, “Maiden Speech” it is clear that the truth is juxtaposed with the reality of the present Australia, who is still a country with racism and inequality. Despite two people stating the arguing issue, there are different perceptions of truth of who is the most vulnerable. In which Grant places great significance on the racism rooted in the Australian Dream and Hanson’s stance for non-Indigenous people inequality.

Racism in Australia is a big problem and needs to be stopped. Racism refers to anything that has the effect of disadvantaging someone from what their racial background is. It affects peoples well-being along with it not being a good look for our nation to have. Is it really okay for people outside of our country to look and us and think that there are still people that are being racist? Opportunities for people should not be judged on their race. This is not fair. Racism is definitely not okay and should be stopped.

At the point when mapping out your Australian get-away, a visit to Queensland's capital may not be your first decision. The nation's third biggest city is frequently ignored for Australia's all the more surely understood visitor problem areas, as Sydney and Melbourne. However, Brisbane's subtropical atmosphere, flourishing expressions and unrecorded music scene and flock of outside to-dos make it a commendable destination for your next excursion Down Under.

In surveying Australian film production over the last century, what visibly occurs is a general evasion of Aboriginal issues and an absence of any balanced representation of Australia’s notable Indigenous population. But I need to add, that things are changing. Several recent films seek to redress this imbalance and provide a substantial Indigenous storyline.

There are many diverse interpretations of the words “Australian Identity”. The national anthem, as evidenced in Stand Up, is a primarily white interpretation of Australia and the Australian identity, with many of the lines ignoring the Indigenous people of Australia (Perkins et al, 2012). Another form of the “Australian Identity” was one presented by Prime Minister Paul Keating in his Redfern Address in 1992. He proclaimed that “Australia is a first-rate social democracy…truly the land of the fair go and the better chance”. This idea presented represents an egalitarian society, where every single human has an equal opportunity at life. Yet another, shown in the songs Paul Kelly sang, but especially in “this land is mine” is the difference between the identity of Indigenous Australians and non-Indigenous Australians (Kelly et al, 2001). Each of these texts addressed a major issue. Stand Up compared the relative value of tradition and the right to freedom of expression. Keating’s speech expressed the need for justice and recognition of both the stolen generation and the injustices done to the Indigenous people as a whole. Kelly’s songs represent the importance of the land to Indigenous people and why the “returning of the land” is so important. Although they each mentioned a major issue, the texts all gave solutions to these issues, from reiterating the importance of the basic human right of freedom of speech in Stand Up, to explaining the role and qualities of the Aboriginal

My fellow australians Change is not the answer! The Australian flag is intertwined with history, something lacking in all ‘new’ Australian flags. The current Australian flag is what our soldiers die under, its what are sportsmen win under. The flag has undergone draughts, floods, and depressions and recessions; it defines us as Australians. Every time you see the flag it reminds all Australians of what we have accomplished as a country, it reminds us of what we have lost and what do we have to show for it if we change our flag.

Today Australians acknowledge the rights of everyone, a democratic system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives. Australia, the rights of everyone, furthermore the long term Australia is in independent nation and since one of the most important aspects of nationhood is the people, ourb> head of state should be an Australian whose first allegiance is to Australia, not Britain. I have three main points I wish to make clear these are that citizens of Australia have favoured the change for many years now and, secondly Australia can benefit socially and economically, thirdly, support grows every year and is virtually exponentially, so do you want this change now or 100 years away?

We all know Australia is an amazing place where approximately everyone is laid back ( to some degree , it has a worthy parliamentary system as you do not need royal blood to be a leader, and you get paid considerably more compared to other countries. Although this continent is unfortunately not perfect as, in Australia there are two main types of racism. Aboriginal racism and multicultural racism. Racism is a terrible force as it has destroyed lives with verbal and physical abuse because they are of a different race. So we must change our ways. Examples of the soul crushing creature known formally as Racism are shown in the story "Tri" by Francs Echin and "Fifties Australia" by Phillip Knightley.

“I’m going crazy,” “I can’t control myself,” “People are judging me,” “I’m about to die.”

I am sure that everyone of you have heard about aliens and UFOs. Indeed, we all have heard about the famous case of aliens and UFOs in Roswell, New Mexico. Most people might be interested in the topic of aliens, but I know that the majority of you just think of it as rumours and the existence of them are impossible. Therefore, I am standing here in front all of you to make you change your perspective. I am strongly confident that I have found the evidence of their real existence to convince all of you.

Racism is a global issue that is perpetuated by our ever-globalizing environment. With increased communication technologies cultures from continents that are oceans apart are now able to meet (Hogan 2012). More specifically within Australia racism has been the burden of the Indigenous people of Australia, since the countries discovered by the British. Indigenous Australians have been subject to policies and laws sort to convert them to integrate into the newly pronounced white country (Finlayson, J & Martin, D 2012).

It isn't a crime to seek asylum. Since 1945 Australia has been accepting refugees and giving them a home where they can feel safe and not have to worry about the dangers they used to face. They can raise their family in a country that isn't war torn and divided by politics. However, a growing number of people want to restrict and remove some of the basic rights of people leaving their home for ours. “Reclaim Australia” was founded in 1996 and aims to reduce immigration. They’re anti-islam views have stirred the nation. They're goals include banning food of any religious blessings such as Halal and creating “one law for all”. The group does not consider themselves racist yet insists that Islamic people are terrorists, be-headers or bombers.

While there is little doubt that overall multiculturalism is convenient for Australia, there are a few disadvantages resulting from this policy such as the perpetual increase of racist tendencies amongst the population. This is due to a lack of anti-racism plans of

Racism not only leads to social problems but it also causes mental illness and violence for example, self-harm, depression and the harming of others. In most cases the victim starts to feel helpless, isolated, depressed and irritated. Experiencing racism can change a victim’s life forever. Nearly half of all Australian residents from a diverse background have experienced racism at some time in their life. WHY? Only because they look different? On a Wednesday afternoon a well-dressed 54 year woman in a mustard jacket unleashed a lecture of abuse at other passengers on a Sydney to Newcastle train, it started because some young kids aged between four and ten didn’t automatically give up their seats
