What Is Australia Persuasive Speech

Ladies and gentleman, the film Australian Rules is simply impossible to overlook as Australia’s entry into the international film everything that a proper ‘Australian’ film should, drama, romance, action and deceit. It portrays cultural differences that create segregation between the fabrics of society in a town that doesn’t possess the capacity to co-exist which is evident in urbanized Australia.

In the 2011 Australian film ‘Red Dog’ directed by Kriv Stenders many issues relating to Australian identity are addressed including the stereotypical Australian values such as conflict with authority and mateship. Stenders uses skilful camera and visual techniques to portray a realistic 1970’s context throughout the movie. Throughout the movie it is evident that Stenders portrays his values and attitudes such as rebellion against authority that abuses power and independence.

Australian people and culture are often stereotyped in the media in different forms, one of them being film. The two films being examined, ‘Red dog’ (2011) and the ‘Sapphires’ (2012), are an example of the Australian identity but from different points of view. ‘Red dog’ shows the kind and positive side which exemplifies mateship and loyalty. The film ‘Sapphires’ ,which takes place in the 1950’s through to the 1960’s, shows a negative and racist view towards the indigenous people. Both the films show different aspects of the Australian identity, not all insights of the films accurately represent contemporary Australian identity as the Australian identity has changed by the evolution of people and their lifestyle.

To conclude, ‘Honey Spot’ by Jack Davis and ‘Brisbane Tent Embassy battle goes on as Elder stands up for his sovereign rights’ by the National Indigenous Times online, outline many similar themes. These include the themes of stereotype-driven misconceptions, the negative attitudes of many non-Indigenous Australians regarding Indigenous cultural practices and how rigid environment laws can inhibit traditional cultural practices. Similar characters and settings all work together to explore the conditions for Indigenous Australians across the

Australia’s Identity plays an important part in the stereotypes identified in the film Beneath Clouds, (2002) directed by Ivan Sen presented through violence, racism and a less than adequate education. Through Drover 's Wife (1892) written by Henry Lawson characters are depicted through one mother 's hardships and the way she raises her family in the absence of her husband. Both Beneath Clouds and Drover’s Wife explore Australian identity and what makes it, along with the integral part of any culture in a diverse way.

The notion of the contemporary indigenous identity and the impact of these notions are both explored in texts that have been studied. Ivan Sen’s 2002 film ‘Beneath Clouds’ focuses on the stereotypical behaviours of Indigenous Australians highlighting Lina and Vaughn’s journey. This also signifies the status and place of the Australian identity today. Through the use of visual techniques and stereotypes the ideas that the Indigenous are uneducated, involved in crime and the stereotypical portrayal of white people are all explored. Similarly the notion of urban and rural life is represented in Kennith Slessor’s ‘William Street’ and ‘Country Towns’.

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.

Good Morning, Class! “Lord, make me an instrument of thy peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love.” This is a quote from St Francis and I think this depicts everything about Mt Alvernia College since this quote is part of our peace and college prayer. Mt Alvernia nurtures the beliefs and values of St Francis and St Clare because they are great role models and because they provide a stepping-stone for a genuine catholic education, for 21st centurial women.

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.

Let me paint you a picture. You are in a lift and suddenly the door opens and 50 more people enter the lift . How would you feel ? Won’t it be a bit suffocating. Would you like to be in that situation?

Recorded in Australia during 2011-12, 8 million Australian adults had smoked a cigarette in their life, out of that 8 million; 3.1 million were already current smokers. Currently there are laws against smoking in the workplace, but there are no laws about having restricted areas for smoking outside of the workplace. In 2011-12, there was a recorded estimate of 22.7 million residents. 19.6 million of those people do not smoke, so why are we not making Australia a safer and smoke free environment for those people.

Cinema, the production of movies by filmmakers, is a means of expressing ideas and telling stories on the visual side. Films have been imprinted into the history of entertainment and storytelling. Now in the 21st century, some filmmakers make movies for financial gain and some make movies for the art in it. Alanis Obomsawin’s artistic films show the cultures of indigenous peoples and send a message to change the negative view that the rest of the world has of First Nations. Alanis Obomsawin is an important indigenous Canadian, not just because she won awards, but because of how she developed as an artist, her inspirational films, and her artistry as a storyteller.

LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender) marriage is a major issue not only in Australia but all over the world

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people (ATSI) have been living in Australia for over 100,000 years. The Indigenous Australians experienced a period of time called the, ‘Stolen Generation,’ in which the Europeans removed the ATSI children from their families. The chosen video definitely displays that Aboriginal people of all ages are deeply connected though community, culture and country. “My Place – The Apology,” produced by Penny Chapman, involves a young girl in an Indigenous community watching the 2008 ‘Apology’ in a community centre together. The short film illustrates the girl is very curious about the generation.
