    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…

    Today I am pitching the latest movie that I have written so that I may convince you that it will be a box office success. My latest film is titled Kill Bill and it is a combination of the martial arts, thriller, and action genres. The film follows a female protagonist, simply known as the Bride, who has been put in to a coma on the day of her wedding by a group of assassins whom she used to belong to and the leader of which, a man named Bill, she was formerly romantically involved with. Four years later, the protagonist awakes from her coma and embarks on a journey of revenge, in which she targets each of the assassins who attempted to kill her. The film explores the backstory behind the main character and the group of assassins she formerly belonged too.…

    Hello. Today I’m going to explain how the representations of Australian Culture in TV are accurate. I have here with me three sources: The Castle, Kath & Kim and 48 shades. These all have a fairly accurate view on what it’s like in Australia (mostly Logan), although some skits are a little far fetched. In each show they have their own kind of representation, The castle represents the racism, Kath and Kim represent the bogan image and “48 shades” shows us the wild side of it all.…

    More than 97% of climate scientists agree that we, humans, are causing climate change by burning fossil fuels and cutting down trees. Too bad trees don’t provide us with Wi-Fi or money, we’d be planting them like crazy, unfortunately, however, they only provide us with the oxygen that we breathe. There shouldn’t be any debate about whether global warming is real or not, we know its real, there’s numerous evidence to support that, instead it should be what we’re going to do about it.…

    Emma: Well, the idea that there are 2000 incident reports of which some show, what appears to be abuse, human rights abuses, and in particular violence against children, is horrific. Amongst the many responsibilities the Australian government has, making sure that people are treated the right way, are one of those many responsibilities. Immigration and asylum seekers can be a major issue for as long as it needs to be, but the Australian government’s first priority should be making sure that those people are safe - that they are not hurt and that their rights are not violated in any form possible.…

    Surfing Persuasive Speech

    Surfing is a popular sport, in fact more like a culture, in New Jersey. Come summer, everybody, pro or a rookie, hits the waves. Surfing is serious business for them. So much so, that they have a certain set of unspoken rules when it comes to surfing. One of the most important ones is to never beak someone else’s surf. This is mainly due to two reasons. One, someone may get hurt in the process. And two, it just discredits you as an ethical surfer (trying to steal someone else’s wave, really!).…

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
