World War 1 impacted Australian society greatly. This event did change society forever. Women were seen differently as their role in society changed. It brought along the idea of conscription and propaganda to influence the civilian population. Women had to adapt to new lifestyles during World War 1 as the death toll of Australian troops just kept decreasing.
On June 3 1992, the legal decision of the Mabo case was made by the High Court, the highest court in Australia’s legal system (Webb, 2008). For thousands of years before the arrival of the British in 1788, Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders have had their strong connection to the Australian Land. When the British arrived in 1788, it was declared that the country was terra nullius (land belonging to nobody), which resulted to the absence of recognition towards the connection between the Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders and the Australian land. The declaration of terra nullius also resulted to the British taking land without agreement or payment towards the indigenous Australians (Webb, 2008).
World War 1 had a heavy impact on Australian society, but more specifically the way Australian women were perceived. The way the women worked, dressed and were treated were all challenged. World War 1 was seen as a defining moment in history for Australian women and the feminist movement. When war broke out in Australia for the first time, the majority of women did not have paying jobs. Their role in the house was to be a homemaker and care for the children.
The Ngunnawal People have been living within the borders and surrounding mountains of the Australian Capital Territory for over 25,000 years. The way the Indigenous people used the land to live off was extremely efficient and sustainable. They had a bounty of knowledge about the land surrounding them, and over generations, devised resourced management skills to ensure maintenance of the animals and plants, and most importantly, the land in which provided these things. Aboriginal culture existed long before Captain Cook arrived in Australia in 1770. He claimed the land to be "Terra-Nullius", meaning that the land did not belong to any person.

During World War 2 (1939 – 1945), Australia had a variety of impacts on both its government and its people. The war had a great effect on the place of indigenous people in Australia as indigenous men and women joined services throughout the country. The Aboriginal Australians, both the men and the women had contributed in the second Great War. Meanwhile, when the Aboriginals of Australia had jobs during World War 2, Australia’s economy boomed with the help of the war as many Australian troops had gone out to fight for the British. The economy had boomed during the period of the Second World War as Australian products could be produced as well.
The most significant experiences that impacted Australian Indigenous people was the discrimination on a daily basis and the affect that fighting in World War 1 (1914-1918) had on them. World War 1, often referred to as the Great War, stands as one of the most climactic moments in history. Amongst the trenches, battles, and sacrifices — the contributions of the often-overlooked Indigenous Australians are a notable fact as to why the War was a success. The Indigenous Australians in WW1 were a community comprised of around 1,200 people (State Library of QLD). Within the Aboriginal community, their experiences serve as an attestation towards their determination, courage, and resilience in the face of their hardships.
World War 1 saw the death of millions of people. Why is it so many people got injured and died during the course of World War 1? Why was the war so long? The answer? The answer to this question is artillery.
The rediscovery of Lucretius’ De rerum natura is considered to be one of the most contingent turning points of modern history. From its enlightened birth circa 55 BC- to its unearthing in the medieval Germany by humanist and book hunter, Poggio Bracciolini- the De rerum natura’s very existence is a miracle. In the Pulitzer Prize winning book, The Swerve: How the World Became Modern, Harvard humanities professor Stephen Greenblatt offers not only an explanation of Lucretius’ poem and its origins in Epicurus, but also explains the threat that De rerum natura posed to Catholic theology, and Lucretius’ influence on later philosophers, from Thomas More to Thomas Jefferson.

In contrast, the Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park has also endured negative impacts because of the tourism in the area. As highlighted by Dyer (2003), the negative impacts include degradation, exploitation, minimal tourist interaction, and misrepresentation of culture. Degradation refers to environmental and socio-cultural; Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park is "a camping hotspot" as it was in close promixity to Cairns, luscious rainforests, and it was in the same area with coastal dune systems, to be accessed in 4WD (Lopatich, 2009). From the tours in the rainforests and along the coast, the dune system has weathered from tourists walking on the vegetation. The rainforest is in fact, endangered, and is "very susceptible to ... fire" (ibid).

Land transport accounted for cats spreading throughout Europe and Asia, they were also transported over the oceans with ships (Vigne et al. 2004). Edward II commanded that every English trade ship have a cat on board (Blaisdell, 1993). Domestic cats were introduced into the New World around 1493, when Christopher Columbus started his second voyage. (Baldwin 1979).
The next big revolution of technological progress is robotisation – and it already started. Like the invention of steam engines or electricity, automation will have a huge impact both on economy and on society. The first sector that is going to be radically revamped is trans-portation and the flagship of this development are autonomous cars. Their breakthrough will change economy on many levels. By and by, truck and taxi drivers will get replaced.
