(We’ve done us proud)

Good morning ladies and gentleman, I proudly welcome you, your family and friends to this citizenship ceremony today.

    Explain What It Means To Be An Australian

    Australia is a very unique place, along with our multiculturalism there is also a strong heritage surrounding us. At first thought of Australian heritage we think about such landmarks as Uluru, The Sydney harbour bridge and The Sydney opera house, The Great Barrier reef and other internationally recognised places. But our heritage goes much deeper than that; it is far more than outstanding icons. Along with these icons there are also unsung places like the old cattle stations, Aboriginal missions, migrant hostels, War memorials, our unique wetlands and the towns and cities we have built. Adding all of these things together, helps to tell the story of who we are and how we have shaped this land in the…

    Humorous Wedding Speech On JV Cheer

    I am contacting you to inform you of some issues that have I have been concerned with when it comes to Kami and her performance on the JV cheer team. First and foremost, I just want to let you know that it has been a pleasure working with Kami on our team. Kami brings a very energetic and infectious vibe to our team. She has grown tremendously as an individual and as an athlete. However, lately, it is that same energetic and infectious behavior that has become a distraction for the team, especially during our practices. Today, Kami and her team had to run three laps because she was laughing and talking during stunts. As you know as a longtime cheer parent, stunting is a time that has to be taken seriously, otherwise there is the potential for…

    A Sense Of Belonging In 'Rainbows End'

    Through the use of inclusive language, Rudd has used the word “we” repetitively to include the whole Australian community in his speech to show sympathy towards the Aboriginal community due to their mistreatment in the 19th century. This Exaggerates the deep apology of the removal of children from their families which shows the loss of belonging to their families, land and…

    Australian Spirit Analysis

    ‘Australian spirit’ is a term often thrown around when discussing relevant social matters such as the global refugee crisis, immigration and Aboriginal issues. To many, it is synonymous with the concept of ‘mateship’, a laidback, friendly attitude. The significance of proposing to introduce recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders (ATSI peoples) into the Constitution is that it embodies the ‘Australian spirit’. The Constitution is the foundation of Australian society, as it determines laws which affect all citizens. If the Constitution cannot recognise the owners of the land in a document that is so effectual, then the validity of the ‘Australian spirit’ must be questioned.…

    Furthermore, almost 50 percent of our 22 million people were either born overseas, or had one or both parents born overseas. The tangible effects of Australia having this incredible multi-cultural society are obvious. On a daily basis we are reminded of the unquestionable benefits that flow from the rich ethnic blend that now makes up our society. It is undeniable that the linguistic, cultural and social connections that come from being a multicultural society provide vast economic benefits and support the development of prosperous international business links. Also, one need only look at the incredible diversity in cuisine we enjoy, the range of furnishings from other countries with which we decorate our homes, and even the different customs many of us weave into our own lives, to see the vibrant impact that such rich ethnic diversity has on all of our lives. On the whole Australians are tolerant of these different cultural influences, in fact most of us embrace them willingly and enjoy the…

    Module a Speeches Essay

    Speakers who encourage us to consider significant Australian issues deliver key themes and ever-lasting notions through rhetoric techniques which persuade their audience. Noel Pearson’s 1996 speech, ‘An Australian History for us All,’ challenges the treatment of Indigenous Australians in the past, present and future with the proposal for an intellectual approach to acknowledge previous injustices. He argues that the principles of racial equality, justice and morality should matter to Australians, and therefore the lack of recognition for Indigenous mistreatment hinders our ability to ‘move on.’ Although for alternate reasons, Paul Keating’s, ‘A Funeral Service of the Unknown Australian Soldier’(1993) also encourages us to consider what should matter as he honours the Australian war-dead by reaffirming the Australian ideals of mateship, courage and resilience in the simultaneous bid to unite a population who were at the ‘crossroads’ and in search for our national identity. Both these speakers encourage us to consider major Australian issues and reveal their importance in the past, present and future.…

    The poem “I am Australian” relates to the concept of belonging to and national identity. Repetition of 'I Am Australian' reinforces this, imagery of the environment and creates a link between the nation and the self, and thus the person is intimately connected to the country. The Poem is about celebrating diversity in Australia, between the people and the land.…

    Mad Bastards Film Analysis

    What does it mean to be Australian? In Australian media, an Aussie is typically portrayed as a Caucasian, larger-than-life, masculine male who hunts crocodiles for a living and lives in the bush; the vast, yet stunning landscape that occupies over 70% of the country (Alice Springs Desert Park). This is how Australians want their country to viewed in the national spotlight, but the problem is, it is not at all realistic. Australia is becoming a very multicultural country, with the percentage of residents born over seas approaching nearly 25% (Khoo 2012), and the indigenous population nearing 550,000; a number that only represents the people who choose to identify as indigenous (Khoo 2012). The Caucasian male is quickly diminishing as a representation…

    Australian Identity

    Australian Identity

    Australian identity refers to how a country is depicted as a whole whilst encompassing its culture, traditions, language and politics. Australia is the smallest, youngest continent with the lowest population density, which often struggles to define its national identity. As Australia originates from British descent, it lacks originality in culture and heritage. One aspect as portrayed by Tim Winton in his narrative style article Tide of Joy is an Australian identity revolving around summer by the sea with family. Danny Katz emphasises the difference between those considered ‘worthy’ of celebrating Australia Day and those that do not meet the criteria in his editorial Aussie, Aussie, Aussie? No, No, No. These two texts help to define the open-ended question of, ‘How do we define Australian identity?’ However, the texts both represent a narrow range of individuals in Australian society and therefore by reading these two texts alone, it is a rather biased view of the Australian stereotype.…

    Member of the wedding notes

    Stuck between being to young for adolescence and to old to be a child, the protagonist Frankie Addams, has the desire to be the child and the adult. Within herself she's confused and lost, her body is to big, yet her mind is broken. Through the journey of Carson McCullers novel The Member of the Wedding, Frankie clenches on to the ridiculous idea of belonging to the wedding and even going off with the honeymooners after. This concept developed by her, is what she believes is a way in which she can develop a sense of belonging. Although this idea preposterous and highly immature it highlights that Frankie wants an adult dream at her young age. Her confused desires between child and adulthood are depicted again, when she almost experiences her first sexual encounter with a solider. Although being inquisitive and interested in what would go on between the two of them and although Frankie enjoyed being treated like an adult, it was all to much for her to handle and she fled from the solider.…
