The RFDS has continued successfully through the years, providing a valuable medical service to people in the outback. John Flynn died in 1951 of cancer in Sydney, his remains buried at Mt Gillen in Alice Springs. His contribution to the aviation industry and his extraordinary idea to combine medicine, aviation and radio has created a true social revolution across the outback of Australia. He has become the most famous and significant Presbyterian in Australia’s history because he made such a major contribution to the building of the nation.…

Living so near to the city of Chicago makes it very easy for me to know about the population issues. First hand, I know that the issue with overpopulations in small northern suburbs is slightly ridiculous because of how the class sizes has grown in size making some classes harder to be in. Another issue is on the south of Chicago, though it’s better now. It is considered a mostly African American and ‘rough’ area of the city. Because of the overpopulation there are many homeless people, and a lot of crime in that area. The government has started to put up low-income only apartments for these areas to help the poverty, and have also put in cameras to help keep bi-passers safe.…
In scenario 5, it has become apparent that we won’t be able to survive on our own. We need to find other that are able to help out. By looking at where the populations are, we will be able to look at the average food consumptions of humans. For example, the amount of kilojoules an average male/female needs to eat and drink. We need to look at the populations remaining in each area, what sex the remaining population is, how many are children and the average age. In this scenario, we need to explain how three areas are going, and whether or not towns should work together. Additionally, in this scenario we have been provided with an update stating that all zombie populations increase by double. Therefore, bringing 80% of the population in towns are zombies, and 40% in the city. Furthermore, all zombie populations continue to move and join up. For example, zombie groups from Moonta and…
There are three problems that Shubert associates with most of the population of America. Firstly, mass political disaffection which is the decline of trust in the government (pg.83). I think a good example of this is what is happening now with a new president. Especially, since he is always saying and doing different things than he promised. Most people of America are becoming untrusting of the government. Secondly, mass political ignorance is voters who are uninformed and are not able to form opinions on different policies. Again, I saw many examples of this during this past November election. I know people who were only voting for a specific party and not for what the candidate stood for. As for political apathy this means that people do…
Is there anything more frustrating than sitting in rush hour traffic, day after day, knowing that it will never get better? How does standing in line at the grocery story, spending a full day at the DMV, or having to squeeze into the packed elevator in a downtown high-rise sound? These are but a few minor, yet inconvenient, effects of the population explosion we Californian’s are facing. Our geographical space is not getting any larger, but our population is. The 2000 census showed California’s population increased by 13.6% over 1990 census figures to 33,871,648 people. California adds over 550,000 people annually, which is roughly equivalent to adding the entire population of the state of Vermont every year. Why is California so over populated and what are the potential long-term effects of this overcrowding?…

Since the publication in 2006 of the ‘Emergency Models of Care’ document for NSW Hospitals, the acceptance and implementation of emergency care models have broadened. This has been coupled with the creation of new models to assist Emergency Departments (ED) to provide safe and timely access to emergency care. Six years later, PricewaterhouseCoopers has been engaged to, in consultation with the NSW Ministry of Health (NSW Health), the…
Health care has become significant news recently, especially in the US with passing of Obamacare and costs have escalated dramatically over the recent years. Examining two health care systems, the United States and Australia’s, shows how they compare to each other. The United States and Australia share some similarities, but one considerable contrast: Australia has had a universal national health care system since 1984. Looking at the two systems strengths and weaknesses will show how each health care system benefits the citizens of each country. Showing how…
Australia has a growing population with it population reaching 23 million in April 2013.It’s population is also an ageing population with 9% of the Australian population being 70 years or older. These two facts about our population has a impact on four key area’s that being the health system and its services, the health service and its workforce , The carers of the elderly and volunteer organisations these four area’s are impacted because of the fact that our population is one that is growing and also that it is an ageing population.…
Australian health care systems involve complex interrelationships between: commonwealth, state and local governments. Health insurance funds, public and private providers of services: for example doctors, institutions e.g. hospitals and other organisations…
Poverty is a major problem facing our society, in 1964, President Lyndon Johnson declared war on poverty in the United States, he did so when he signed “the omnibus ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY ACT OF 1964. The law created the Office of Economic Opportunity aimed at attacking the roots of American poverty” (ushistory.org, n.d.). The poverty simulation gave me a different perspective on the obstacles that faced lower income families in our society, as you will come to learn in the following paragraphs.…
Australia, the seventh largest continent in the world, is homed to over 20,434,176 people. Research suggests that every year on Australian roads approximately 1,600 fatalities, and over 50,000 injuries occur. These are astonishing numbers, much alike the statistics found by The Southern Australian Road Safety Strategy, which places road crashes as the second highest…
