I am very broadly known to be adventurous. I love to go to different places and explore many things. Another hobby of mine is photography; the ability to capture a memory or special moment in a picture so that you can remember it for a lifetime. That is why if I had a ticket in my hand, to go anywhere in the world, I would go to Australia. The world’s largest coral reef is located in Australia, it’s called the Great Barrier Reef. I would absolutely love to go scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef and explore the mysteries of the underwater world. I would be able to take underwater pictures and hold on to them forever, so that even when I leave the sea and leave Australia, the excitement and adrenaline will never leave me. The
Immigration has become an issue all around the world. Everyone have different opinions on how immigrants affect our society. Is immigration good for the economy, the employment rate for immigrants and their pay, how the ban could have a major impact on the U.S., why do people migrate, and DACA (deferred action for childhood arrivals). This essay will hopefully answer any question about immigration and we should handle the ban.
Present day Australia is met with the issue of outlining a sense of a nationwide community, after the breakdown of the British race patriot idea in the mid-1960s with the introduction of multiculturalism. The Euro-centric perception of Australia was annulled and it was incapable in playing a significant part in Australian policies and priorities. It triggered a calamity of national identity and meaning. The credence that Australian’s were apart of Britain, united by history, tradition and blood needed to be revised. A people who had recognized themselves so strongly with the British race now had to accede their race awareness and apprehend the notion of being a now multicultural society. The dawn of multiculturalism also provoked a quandary for balancing a respect of the British heritage with the abating relevance of the British connection and to construct a new language of community from the residues of the old British ways.
During 2012-13 Australia’s Refugee and Humanitarian program increased from 13,750 to 20,000 places divided between offshore resettlement and onshore protection. It resulted in 87% rise in the number of offshore resettlement visas granted. The alternatives include indefinite mandatory detention and mandatory detention. Asylum seekers who arrive without prior valid visas usually have to go through mandatory detention. They usually stay in detention for an average of 450 days. Community placement are another alternative. Many asylum seekers from immigration detentions centers are released are placed on bridging visas so they can live in community. Although
24 million beer guts? 24 million shrimp on the barbie? Or 24 million who make up the most culturally diverse nation in the world? I don’t know about you, but I struggle to stereotype 24 million of the most different people on the planet. Good morning… etc. In contemporary society, the ability to identify an Australian is a challenge. The ABC states that national identities are “as varied as our imagination” and, “In Australia, the religious, cultural and ethnic complexity of our society is particularly diverse, making it extremely difficult to identify an Australian”. What would you look for if you were asked to identify an Australian? Tanned skin? Beer gut? Freckles? Wrong wrong wrong! You can’t identify an Australian based on a stereotypical image! According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, “75% of Australia’s population originates from overseas, or has a parent from overseas” (ABOE, 2016), making it impossible to identify what an Australian looks like. We Aussies share more than a hatred for cane toads and bits of butter in the vegemite. We share moral values and beliefs unique to our great nation. Belief in a fair go, never give up mindset, and courage. A character from the movie Australia, absolutely epitomizes the Australian identity. The man. The myth. The legend. The Drover.
Being a 9-year-old immigrant, born and brought up in a third world country, Kenya, and moving to Australia was a big step for me. I had no understanding of how life around me would dramatically change. Shifting from a society with dark skinned people around me to almost no dark skin people around me but light skin, from dirty rural areas to clean urban areas, dirty air to fresh air and from an insecure world to an innocent world. My parents decided to move to Australia for me and my little sister’s future. Apparently being educated in Australia was a big deal, according to the media and what my parents had told me.
A. Dive and cruise in total immersion along the outer side of the Bora Bora barrier reef.
As our knowledge of Sierra Leone is very limited. The information which we can obtain in Australia from the newspapers, internet and government can be biased. The fact remains that these refugees arrived lawfully to compete in the 2006 Commonwealth Games. A fair go for refugees is a fair go for all Australians, most of the current arrivals have fled from conflict zones. Very few passed "safe countries" on their way to Australia, as most countries in our region, are not signatory to the Refugee Convention and are well-known for maltreatment of asylum seekers The law at the time was changed by the government to prevent asylum seekers that arrived by boat.
Australia Day is held on 26 January each year but do you know why? Well it marks a significant date in Australia's history but not everyone thinks it's a date that should be celebrated. Recently, there have been calls for Australia Day to move.
200 bare back lashes, publicly shaming you in front of your whole community. A minimum of 6 months imprisonment. Post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental illnesses left untreated. This is the punishment for a woman in Syria who has been gang raped by 7 men. (pause) In 2011, the Syrian civil war broke out, affecting the whole population. Displacement, house arrest and kidnapping, are just some of the things civilians experience. These innocent victims are petrified to live in their own homes, and are brave enough to flee and strive to seek asylum in Australia. The issue concerning asylum seekers in Australia has been prevalent for more than 15 years now. However, rather then the debate of “letting them in”, it is now an issue of the safety and mistreatment of these refugees.
Immigration can be seen as an important role to maintain diversity and a steady economy in many countries, including the United States. However, while people are trying to immigrate to locations where they would get better opportunities for themselves and their families, they are instead being greeted by death or closed doors, caused by awful conditions when trying to cross the border or the inability to gain access to a country with better opportunities. Immigrants are forced to cross illegally to improve their and their family’s lives due to the difficulty of attaining citizenship or visa; millions of families have been separated and they have to live not knowing what has happened to their loved ones. The trauma of an incident like this can impact someone’s life forever, and in order to ensure people’s safety and wellbeing, everyone should have a real chance to gain citizenship, disregarding their country of origin. The path to citizenship should be made easier and more inclusive so that people who are searching for opportunities are given the chance to improve their lives.
200 years is enough time to forgive. Wake up, everyone! We know the British came and stole Aboriginal landing, that was a huge crime but now our war ended, we live in our country named Australia and we are Australians, Australia Day is one of our tradition, Aboriginal’s failure won’t change despite we change the day. I am Lake, a Aborigine living and contributing for Australia and I will sorry to Melbourne citizens, especially who want to change the day that i honestly disagree.
Today I will be comparing the experiences between two young people growing up in Australia. The two stories are "The Left Hander" by Oodgeroo Noonuccal and "Destiny" by Shalini Akhil. One is about a girl who wants to become Wonder Women but she has to alternate it because she is indian (Destiny) and the other is about a girl who always used her left hand but when she was noticed to use it, she was punished(The Left Hander) . Both authors focus on two memoirs Clash of Culture and Belonging v isolation, However these have different perspectives, "The Left Hander's" Perspective is negative whereas 'Destiny' has a positive perspective. "The Left Hander's" setting is during school, the girl was just sewing in the classroom and after the teacher saw she was punished. "Destiny's" setting is at home with the persons grandma talking about an alternate way of being wonder women. Both texts
Traveling always force ladies to dwell on their monthly menstrual cycle. It at times becomes very challenging and exasperating if you know that your periods are coming close to your traveling dates and you cannot alter or reschedule your travel dates. Because of lengthy hours of journey, frenzied traveling schedule and restricted time at the disposal could cause tiredness, frustration, which might cause menstrual period to come early or even befall irregular bleeding.
When in Rome! I chose to pick a study abroad program because I want to explore the world. I think it is a perfect idea to get a chance to travel to another country and earn college credits. I chose Rome because that is where I think I will be more comfortable to visit while in college. It is full of culture, fashion, great cuisines, art, and many more! It has always been on my bucket list to go to Italy. It is the perfect opportunity to visit the country especially while I am in college. I remember watching Lizzie McGuire as a child and she went to Rome and impersonated an Italian pop star, Isabella. She met this handsome man who took her to tour the city. Everyone eventually realized he was using her to ruin Isabella, but it was still a happy ending for Lizzie McGuire. I wanted that happy ending it looked like so much fun running around Rome. The expenses are outstanding for the trip, but at least I have an agenda all laid out by the program.
While vacation may seem like a week away from home, traveling has so many positive aspects. Whether one travels for a few days, or for a year, it can open the eyes of many people and change their views. While on the road, people often discover who they really are and create relationships with people they will never forget. During this adventure, people learn new languages, and connect with the world in a new way. Traveling is beneficial to both a persons mental and physical health; it makes the mind more creative, and it's a great way to exercise .
