    I wait for the library to open and went there and took the assessment test and also it was a lot helpful with the tool and practice also the audio they use to explain to you how it’s been done and how you use it. It’s detailed and also when you want to hear to make sure you could go back and replay. I may be rusted and forget about some of the verbs and noun. Well going through the audio, it helps a lot. I was surprise for my grade for the assessment I took I didn’t know I was that bad, but I’m glad there are practice in it that I could study and learn to catch up. Even though we be having Christmas break, I would still go in on my free time just to review and be ready for my next assignment or classes next year. I know I got on a bad start…

    As there are a lot of different countries in the world, there are also a number of different cultures as well as different races. In the presence of different peoples in one area or country, there is often a lot of racism, which leads to inequality to particular ethnic groups. For example, in Australia, since European people arrived there in 1788, they have discriminated against indigenous people, Aborigines (Kuhn, 1998: 30). The European invaders drove most of Aboriginal people out of the mainland, and furthermore, they took a lot of indigenous children from their families and forced them to work at white farms or stations. They did not even consider Aboriginal people the citizen of Australia until 1967, and this continued in some states until 1980s (Yunupingu, 1997: 63-64). D'Souza (1999: 26) claims that what European people have done to Aboriginal people is a 'genocide', which can be defined as a crime against humanity. As time went on, Australian people seemingly started to recognize Aboriginal people's human rights. However, today, there still seems to be a lot of inequality to indigenous people in Australian society. This paper will examine inequality to Aboriginal people in today's Australia in terms of health and medical systems, education and employment.…

    The early twentieth century represented a time of hardship and struggles throughout Europe. In 1915, at the onset of World War I, Austria-Hungary centered at the heart of this turmoil. This societal angst eventually translated into/became the individual alienation that lies at the center of Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis. The protagonist Gregor Samsa’s shocking change into a bug reflects this angst felt by Kafka and his own perception of the world – and his role in it. As a bug, he cannot provide for his family any longer, and therefore becomes excluded from familial affairs. The family adjusts to his plight by taking on extra jobs and admitting boarders into the home for extra financial support; all the while, Gregor becomes victimized by the coldness of his newfound world. In a period where everyday living presented a daily fight to survive, the family could not lament Gregor’s absence for too long before worrying about personal wellbeing. This coldness of that era is incorporated through Gregor’s dire situation and in turn, the family’s cold reaction indicates the “survival of the fittest” theme evident in families during that time. Kafka employs depressing language and style, a three-part structure to the novel, and an extended metaphor to shape the belief that in a world filled with conflict, regardless of family ties, only the fittest will endure.…
