"Explore how time and place are used in the prescribed speeches to shape the audience's understanding of how knowledge of the past sheds light on the present" - HSC 2013
Speeches form an interpretation of historical events and values which are moulded around the speaker's opinions and ideology. Paul Keating's 'Funeral Service of the Unknown Australian Soldier' 1993 and Noel Pearson's 'An Australian History for Us All' 1996, demonstrate a contrast between how a historical and contextual understanding of these speeches helps create the necessary apperception on the given audience to convey the speaker's message appropriately. Despite the fact that both speeches were given in the mid 1990s, they were addressed to different types of

As his speech did not withhold any potential controversy, the content and context of it was widely understood and appreciated by his audience.
'Funeral Service of the Unknown Australian Soldier', was addressed by Paul Keating as an individual, as well as the Australian Prime Minister, the representative of the entire nation. The purpose was to pay respect to Australians who had fallen in battle with the dedication of a monument, without glorifying or celebrating Australia's participation in war. As it was addressed to a mixed audience, the wider Australian community, the themes remained universal, to be easily appreciated with minimal knowledge and understanding of Australia and it's history in war. "This unknown Australian is not interred here to glorify war over peace; ... or of one generation above any that has or will come later" reflects on Keating's anti-war perspective which is contextually proven, as he was well known for being extremely critical of war and Australia's participation in it as an ally. Without the knowledge of Keating's anti-war ethics, the speech was often thought to celebrate war and Australia's participation in it, thus creating a divided reception of the speech by the audience. Despite this, Keating had substantial social respect because of his title as prime minister, which resulted in the audience readily accepting his point of view.
The concepts of war and peace are the overarching themes in Pearson's 'An
An analysis of the historiographical issues present within this essay will provide a coherent response to the question covering political protagonists such as John Howard and Paul Keating as well several other historians and their work, namely Geoffrey Blainey and writers such as Keith Windschuttle. Many of the writings displayed or published often contain prejudice views and ideas, and often only tell one side of the story. Like a narrative, history is told by the narrator who can interpret events differently in certain situations and can either over exaggerate or undermine contents within a story. As a result, this investigation will use a range of sources from both conservative and revisionists historians in an attempt to understand the true history of
Celebrating the launch of the "International of the World's Indigenous People" in 1992, Keating addresses the "White-Australians" failure in recognising the injustices embedded within Australia's colonial past. Keating highlights the plight of Indigenous Australians through the use of highly evocative alliteration "devastation and demoralisation" to expose White-Australian's "failure". This reflects his condemnation of the "Great Australia Silence" proposed by Professor Stanner 1968, underpinning the prevailing social inequity that has been subdued and unrecognised by many Australians, compelling his intended and the future audience to revalue their preconceived understanding of Australia's colonial past. Furthermore, He skilfully employs logos to reinforce his argument in "the Report of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody showed… past lives on inequality, racism and injustice", emphasising the social disadvantage faced by the ATSI community. Through the use of cumulative listing, "inequality, racism and injustice", Keating accentuates the importance of learning and recognising our past injustice to catalyse social progression towards reconciliation, constructing a sense of pathos that emotionally prompts the audience to sympathise with Aboriginal
Australia’s new dependence on America resulted in a large influx of American soldiers to Australia and while Australian society was initially accepting and welcoming of their unorthodox culture, behaviours and morals, this quickly turned to contempt and created an unsavoury relationship between Australians and Americans whom they saw as being a bad influence on the women and youth of Australia. Australians regarded Americans as being, “overpaid, oversexed and over-here”. However, while this had the possibility to cause influential divides in society, Australians realised the necessity for the American presence in their country and the security they had provided, overruling any irritation felt towards them. The Australian war effort in the pacific regions had also served to amplify and fuel the ‘Anzac legend’ creating a national sense of pride and unity during the war. Australia’s involvement in the Second World War thus served to create a more independent Australia, in charge of its own policies and decisions in foreign affairs, creating cohesion within society.
The purpose of this assignment is to critique and evaluate the chosen article in terms of strengths and weakness and to demonstrate an understanding of an international educational approach to Early Years education. In addition it will explore the similarities and differences of the international approach to the current Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) working within my setting. Furthermore it will critically reflect upon the strategies within the approaches to identify possible issues and limitations of systems.
In recent years, it has become an increasingly popular practice for drug companies to perform their clinical testing of new drugs in foreign countries that might not have the consumer protections or product liability laws present in the United States. Please answer each of the following questions using a theory studied in Module 2 specifically and thoroughly and using examples and facts from the readings and resources.
The Gallipoli campaign was described as the baptism of the newly federated Australia, and a chance for Australian soldiers to prove themselves to the world. They were not ultimately victorious, but the soldiers came to represent the character traits of the new country: fit and healthy, duty bound and courageous, good humored and egalitarian. The ANZAC image allowed Australians to both demonstrate loyalty to Britain, and claim an identity of their own. There is much to challenge the factual accuracy of the ANZAC image.
Researchers should develop custom instruments (suitable to their needs) to study the cycling transportation performance, since there are no dedicated instruments in this field of research. In this study, we developed an operational Instrumented Probe Bicycle (IPB) that is designed, built, and tested. The IPB is a completely mobile system capable of collecting a variety of empirical data. Several IPBs have been created around the world, which are different from each other based on the type of data needed. Accordingly, data collection from IPB divides into two basic categories, internal bicycle data and external bicycle data. The internal data represent the bicycle movement characteristics (e.g. speed, and acceleration), or direct influences
Last year, on the 25th of April was the centenary of the Gallipoli landing. Which, according to the Australian Defence force website, was to be for Australians, “one of the most significant commemorations to take place during their lifetime.” With the centenary looming in the backs of the minds of the Australian people, it is unsurprising that great pains have been taken to construct a three year long celebration that would “encompass a number of historical milestones on Australia 's involvement in conflicts”, such as both World Wars, Korea and Vietnam.
On the 25th of April 1915, Australia took its first major step as a nation by sending soldiers off to fight in Gallipoli; these soldiers charged and fought their way through countless challenges, forging themselves a legend, but more importantly – forging Australia an identity. As time sparks controversy and scepticism, many begin to doubt the validity of the ANZAC legend. This opinion however, is unmistakably inaccurate as many diverse and credible sources document the ANZACS battle against their trials and tribulations as being heroic. The ANZACs endurance, mateship and courage are undoubtedly an accurate depiction of the ANZAC legend.

After reviewing the Balance sheet I have a concern regarding the Current and short term liabilities. Creditors/ trade payable is payment yet to be made for goods already received, if this continues to rise then it will effect the business profit and less stock will have to be ordered so repayments can be made. Bank overdrafts also continued to rise and in the long-term the business will be paying greater interest, which will again eat into the profit. Both increased quite a great deal from the last year-end. If this continues then the business will get into bad debts and owe too much that it will end up having to sale its assets to survive. Finally I can see that due to the above issues and other issues the net current assets/ working capital has decreased so therefore the business is less value then it was a year ago. If the business is worth £1 million now, this could soon decrease within another year.
Remembrance Day. A time of reflection on those who sacrificed themselves for our country, Australia. In considering the value of Remembrance Day, we need also to consider the value of one of the most prominent Remembrance Day speeches, Paul Keating’s `Funeral Service of the Unknown Soldier' in 1993, at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra.
Mason has pulled out more of his hair and is now bald in the top of his head. Mason’s mother acknowledged, “the hair pulling increased while I was out of town and while he was with his dad.” Mason reported he has been pulling his hair at night. Mason informed the team he pulled the stress ball apart which helped with reduce his hair pulling. Mason’s mother commented, “Mason has improved his sneaking in the refrigerator.” Mason has a stable appetite and asks for permission for foods items. QP has assessed Mason has made slight progress improving his impulse control, as indicated by Mason still hair pulling; however, Mason has improved his stable appetite and reports no SI.
In my opinion, a lot of people in foreign countries are uneducated and therefore, may not fully understand the risks, complications and side effects of these experimental drugs. If they do not have the means to adequately research the drug prior to testing it, they may end up doing so without fully understanding what potential side effects are involved. I am not sure how well companies educate these foreign countries and or people involved in the case study. If these people are not educated properly than it is unethical for them to test experimental drugs on them.
Good afternoon everybody, Good Afternoon esteemed guests who had gathered here today to commemorate Vietnam Veteran’s Day here at the ANZAC cottage. Thank you for inviting me here to witness such lovely gathering. What a beautiful day to celebrate, what a wonderful place to be. In light of recent events, myself, along with another 31 lucky students across the vicinity of Western Australia had the privilege to become student ambassadors and represent our state for the 100th centenary anniversary of the ANZAC landing at Gallipoli in Turkey. it was a chance for the current Western Australian youth to manifest pride, respect and honour towards the men and women, families and youth who sacrificed every inch of their soul for the greater prosperity of our nation.
