Technology has completely altered the manner in which our society functions, and these changes have been both positive and negative. Technology is beneficial because it levels the playing field, and allows working class citizens in emerging markets to have a fair chance at obtaining a job. A more competitive employee pool allows for more skilled employees to work, increasing overall productivity. Technology also connects people who would previously not have a chance to meet.

criminalise and demonise asylum seekers, scaring the country into believing that they are terrorists wanting to corrupt the Australian way of life. Footage of immigration minister Scott Morrison addressing asylum seekers detained on Manus Island and Nauru is frightening. He informs asylum seekers that they are where they are because “you entered Australia illegally”, that “you will be here for a very, very long time”, that “you will never enter Australia” and that “I urge you to think carefully about

or kill themselves with wire on fences or even toilet cleaner. As an IDP in a dentation centre it is more preferable to kill yourself than stay under the harsh treatment Australia believes is “fair”. There have more than 150 cases reported in the Nauru detention centre of self-harm. People helping in these facilities do not have a creditable amount medical knowledge to be treating these people of injuries beyond their capability. The government is letting them die as a consequence of them trying

They return from the sixteen hour mission successful. Later Japan captures Nauru and Louie’s crew is ordered to bomb the island. They get there and take out there targets but they get into a heated battle with nine Japanese planes. The plane is heavily damaged and some of the crew is injured, but they make it back.

Decolonization in the British Empire is a deliberate process involving the colonial power and emerging local elite. The discussions in Chapters 1 and 2 provide insights into colonial development and the pre-independence environment which provide context for answering the research questions and testing the hypotheses. This chapter examines the first question- why do some newly sovereign states retain ties with the JCPC? Based on my theory that states chose the final appellant court it expects to

The movie Unbroken is the incredible true story of Olympian, Louis Zamperini from Torrance California. Zamperini and the rest of his crewmen were on a bombing mission in 1943 against the island of Nauru that was held by the Japanese. After dropping the bombs, their plane experience damage due to Japanese warplanes firing back at the planes involved in the bombing mission. The movie flashes back to when Louie was a young boy. His family’s ethnicity was Italian-American, and because of this Louie

Mr. Curt Fitzgerald is one such unforgettable teacher. Whether for better or worse, Curt Fitzgerald is one of the most memorable people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. In 20 years I will not remember the capital of Nauru or what year the Romanians gained their independence. What I will remember is something way less factual or historic. I will remember listening to Mr. Fitzgerald give commentary while we watched any and every movie or him hissing at us when we came

I write to you to express my concern on the Federal Government’s approach to asylum seekers. I believe current policies for the refugees are misrepresenting them for the following reasons. Firstly, Australia’s current policy defies its obligation to the United Nations Refugee Convention. The UN is against our government’s treatment over the refugees, it’s a direct violation of the convention of the Refugee document. The UN made an effort to point out that our act of not allowing the refugees to
