Paradise Road Letter
Written Explanation:
'I chose to write in a creative style, employing conventions of format and style of a traditional letter. This allows me to express my ideas in a logical order while adopting a sophisticated tone.' 'I have chosen formal language in an attempt to demonstrate a comprehensive and thoughtful piece. Inclusive words such as 'we' and 'us' have been incorporated to allow me to connect with the audience. Furthermore, my use of first-person perspective aims to add credibility to my argument.' 'My piece is to be published in an anthology for VCE students familiar with the subject matter and texts. As they have familiarity with the concepts I discuss, I intend for readers to depart with a greater understanding and appreciation of the ideas in my written piece.' 'The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate that one conflict always contains the seed of another: firstly, that conflict can begin from small and eventually lead to bigger things and secondly conflict can become a huge burden when it tops up.' 'In this essay, I explored the idea that 'One Conflict always contains the seed of another ‘.

One conflict always contains the seed of another
1940
Dear friend,
I want to tell you about the troubles my women are facing here in the camp of the Japanese. As I am writing this letter to you my friend, you may not believe me, but it is a risk of losing my life if the men knew about this, very dangerous act on my behalf, I may face tremendous consequences.
All of us are treated like slave labour for the men, we grow their food crops in the blazing hot sun, we work until we drop dead. If we did not obey as they commanded they would beat and push us like animals till we worked again. If we refused once again we could face further punishment , death. Yes, not to mention, some of our women had unfortunately contracted malaria, yes not very pleasant, unfortunately I have lost my dear friend, I just can’t stop crying, she just went away from me

    Conflict is most known for disagreements, fights and wars but the greatest conflict is none of those, it is the conflict that everybody experiences within themselves. Conflict will always be experienced between a person and themselves, whether it is the struggle of making the right choices or the need to accept change around you. Michael Gow’s play, Away, explores the struggle of acceptance within an individual and the ability to make the right choice and avoid conflict. 10 things I hate about you directed by Gil Junger, shows the conflict between acceptance of the truth and the consequences which follow and the need to accept changes and sacrifice.

    Conflict is an inevitable part of life. It can arise from a failure to achieve a motive or when facing an unfamiliar environment. Conflict is an opportunity to improve. Different individuals will learn to cope with conflict differently; it may seem natural for some to avoid or stand by conflict and let it tear relationships apart, but there are common mechanisms which people can adopt to resolve their problems. Finding similarities and ignoring the differences is one way of coping with unlike individuals, but the fundamental approach to resolving conflict is to accept. The acceptance of individual and cultural differences gives us insight and understanding of the basis of conflict, which also allows for reassessment of moral values. This is how unity can be achieved in the most difficult of all circumstances.…

    Conflict is omnipresent for every individual regardless of time and place. It is a fundamental part of human existence, leading back to the earliest forms of conflict where our human ancestors competed with other species for survival tools such as food and shelter. Nowadays, conflict has developed into multitudinous forms – from merely debating what to have for lunch to global issues such as climate change. Without conflict, our experiences in life would undoubtedly be less dynamic and vibrant. Conflict is an essential factor to shaping our identity. Our relationship with conflict defines who we are because we learn to formulate our own opinions and values. Conflict is a natural element in the world and although we may not notice each and every single time it presents itself, conflict is a part of our everyday lives.…

    We all had very similar opinions and views on the subject “how do place and cultural collision influence conflict?”. We had to come up with one thesis statement all together and we narrowed it down to the fact that humans competitiveness and urges to feel superior is what causes almost every conflict. We went over the ideas that humans always wanted more land, didn’t like to be controlled, and didn’t like giving in. We decided that all of these ideas were related to people not wanting to feel inferior, and conflict was always caused by everyone wanting to be the best, have the most, or be in control. The natural competitiveness in humans is the problem behind almost every disagreement or conflict. Together we came to an agreement on a new thesis- Place and cultural collision is inevitable because of natural human competitiveness. In the end, I felt much more confident in this thesis than my original one and I felt that it better represented the original topic and…

    In my study of the Context ‘Encountering Conflict,’ I have come to appreciate the complexity of the causes and responses to disagreements throughout history. I wish to write creatively in this piece to capture the unique reactions humanity has to that which is threatening; an unpredictability in response that perhaps could not be done justice in an expository form. I have written my creative/persuasive speech for an audience of educated scholars at a TED conference. A logical and measured tone will allow for the content of the speech to relate intimately with how my audience members understand their world of work. Moreover, the use of visual imagery in the piece will reach out to the more imaginative and adventurous nature often ingrained in…
