good morning to you all I am William MacDougall from Canada west. I believe that the entire nation would benefit from confederation, I have prepared a couple of reasons why. If the entire nation would combine to one then we would have a great government with a solid defense that everyone will benefit from. Confederation would provide a bigger economy because we will be combining two pre-existing economies to make a better one.
Chris McCandless was in his early 20’s, he was the kind of that guy that wanted to learn and experience life without all of the material things. He wanted to be independent from his parents and friends so Chris did something that would be insane for most of us humans but to him, it wasn’t. He went into the wild of Alaska for months, in fact, McCandless even thought he could make it out alive at the end of his journey. As a matter of fact, he was known as being a risk taker and enjoyed being out and about in the nature side of the world. Many would believe that Chris McCandless went into the wild to purposely kill himself; however, I myself believe that McCandless did not do it purposely.
In Australia, refugees and asylum seekers are treated like the enemy in a war: the target of a highly resourced, military-led “deterrence” strategy complete with arbitrary detainment, detention camps, guards to terrorise them, forced deportations and the violent suppression of those who protest. Australia is failing to meet the standards required when regarding the treatment of asylum seekers. It is fact that asylum seekers make up less than 3% of Australia’s annual immigration yet the idea is being distorted to that of which they will overpopulate a country that prides itself on being a multicultural society. I want to shed light on the misconception that asylum seekers are not ‘legal’ when in actual fact it is a human right to seek freedom.
An Australian Republic is about us — not the Queen, not Prince Charles or the world economy. We should do it now, without delay. As Nelson Mandela once said, “ For to be free is not merely to cast off one 's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” Until we break our last Constitutional links to the mother country, our nationhood is incomplete. Now after just over 115 years of Federation, Australia must finally join the world of nations as a full equal, unshackled to any other nation.
Milagro Benitez White 2nd block 21 Apr. 2017 Chris Kyle: Inspirational Figure When you hear the word “hero” you might think of someone like Superman or Captain America. When I hear the word “hero” I think of someone like Chris Kyle. Someone who laid down his life for his own people and his country. When I was little and someone asked me who I thought was a hero I would say “Batman,” but today if someone asked me the same question I would say Chris Kyle, because he is the definition of a hero.
Australia Day is one of the most unique national day’s in the world throughout history, celebrating the day of when our ancestors first arrived on the borders of Australia, in 1788. Rather than unite people as one whole though, the spirited outcome of this event isn’t what as anticipated by everyone and has divided the Australian society for good. And so it should be held at an alternative date, where Australian citizens feel worthy of their identity and not cheated by it. However, the celebration shouldn’t be adapted to like that of other commemorations like ANZAC day. Essentially, this day will always be a tragic memory for the indigenous and be viewed as the invasion of their homeland.
Would you give everything up to pursue a wild dream of living off the grid? Free from modern stresses and the ever haunting technological presents. That is what Christopher McCandless did in the book and film "Into The Wild". McCandless had just graduated top of his class and a successful athlete instead of starting his life and career, he abandons his family gives away his money and sets off to Alaska to escape from the pressures of his home and future. In McCandless 's situation, I know I would do the same thing.
I am sure we all remember why we sailed on a voyage across the Atlantic and went through many hardships. That is so we can live in a land where we all can start a new life with better opportunities. But is that what we really have? It is clear that King George III is not treating us how he would treat his citizens when we are still his people. He’s ignoring our complaints and needs and is making up laws that are unfair and brutal. Remember how hard we fought in the French-Indian War.
Is John Brown crazy? Should John Brown’s violence be justified for what most say a noble cause? Is John Brown an “American hero” or a “Cold terrorist?” John Brown isn’t crazy but may seem that way when you look at what he has sacrificed. John Brown Recently John Brown’s noble cause has been questioned and people have made accusations whether he should considered a patriot or a terrorist.
Persuasive Speech Ah Australia. The land of opportunity. The land of freedom and equality. The land of wealth and good health. The lucky country.
The thesis of "The Republic, Democracy and Reconciliation" written by Dr Mark McKenna is conveyed through a debate between Australia being a republic or monarchy during 1995 regarding the Prime Minister at the time, Paul Keating. Dr Mark McKenna states, “in early 1995 Mr Keating was toying with the idea of 'handing the republic over to the people'” (McKenna, 2004, p. 99). In order to take action against any negative publicity that might’ve surfaced from the Prime Minister Bob Hawke’s memoirs, the concept of distributing the republic over to the public was initiated (McKenna, 2004, p. 100).
In 1925, King George V asked his youngest son, Prince Albert, to give the closing speech at the Empire Exhibition in Wembley, London. However, the Duke of York stammer makes it difficult to the listening nation. The only solution to this impediment is to seek a therapist for remedy. After consulting with many therapists, Prince Albert gave up on finding the remedy for his speaking defect.
Apollo Robins is an artist, security consultant, deception specialist and a self-described gentleman thief. Born in 1974 Plainview, Texas he first rose to fame in 2001 by pick-pocketing the Secret Service of former President Jimmy Carter. Apollo Robins is considered to be the best at what he does able to pick pocket Jennifer Garner’s engagement ring, or Charles Barkley’s money straight from his pocket. Robins uses pick-pocketing and sleight of hand to demonstrate how easily people’s minds can be deceived. I believe Apollo Robinson has proven himself to be an exceptional deception artist and speaker, able to distract peoples’ attention and deceive them while giving one of the best speeches of Ted Talks.
The topic of the Ted Talk that we watched was to get out and do things, don 't quit, and to make the world a gooder place. The ideas that I think are important is to never quit and make the world better. I can make many connections between this and my life. One is that I never give up and I have dreams of making the world better. There are many messages in the Ted Talk that are worth noting.
