Why Australia Should Be Educated

Improved Essays
Australia is a very big and wealthy country still, we give significantly less than we used to. We earn $4.05 billion but we only give twenty two cents in each one hundred dollars which is not a lot of money to count how many people are starving, don’t have sufficient shelter, don’t have clean water and are uneducated. If these unlucky people aren’t educated they will make bad choices like taking drugs. These are my three reasons why the Australian government must elevate the foreign aid spending.

Firstly, in Australia we have some problems, but in Australia we don’t have children who don’t go to school. But in other countries nearly the whole population of the country don’t even step inside a classroom. If they are not educated they won’t know what choice to make and will choose some bad choices like taking drugs or breaking the law. Education is important because if children aren't educated they won’t be able to communicate to others or don’t understand anyone for their whole entire

In some developing countries, children as young as eight years old have to work instead of going to school to earn money to survive. The money they make isn’t enough to buy much food and the work conditions are very dangerous, there is no fire evacuation doors so if there is a fire they won’t be able to escape easily and safely and the work they are doing involves toxics and need protective gear and clothes and if they don’t have the appropriate and safe gear they have a risk of dying

In conclusion, we should be giving more foreign aid money because there is unlucky and unfortunate people in the world that really need that money to survive and live a normal and average life like we do. I hope you agree with my reasons why the Australian government should lift its foreign aid

A good education can save lives, Lynda Barry adds “Without it, I don’t know where I would have gone that morning” (Barry 144). Education gives children a place to get away from their troubled home lives. Some children get to shine through education such as arts, music, sports, and so on.

    Many children at a tender age are forced to work long hours in factories that contain many hazardous conditions that make their lives difficult.

Elizabeth Bentley was interviewed discussing her experience working at a young age.

    Canada should continue foreign aid since its impact on the world is beneficial and relates back to its roots in post-Second World War Reconstruction. Foreign Aid is support through the distribution of resources, cash, and goods and services from wealthy, developed countries to poorer, developing countries given by governments, organizations, and charities to reduce poverty and provide economic aid.

    There is neither an agreement nor requirements to indisputably define the term ‘Good international citizen’. The term was firstly introduced by the Canadian Governor-General in 1967 during a speech reflecting on Canada’s standing in the world in its centennial year. Since then the term developed its concept, and the concept was developed in Australian case by Gareth Evans, who was the former Australian Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade from 1988 to 1996. Evans used the phrase repeatedly in his speeches, papers and books but failed to offer clear definition of the term. Rather, he referred the term to Australian foreign policy, citing particular government practice as an example.…

The Australian government, both past and present, has introduced very tight laws regarding the treatment and Australia’s acceptance of Asylum Seekers. This is unacceptable.…

    Thank you honorable chair, Fellow delegates, between 2010-2012 China provided 241 million USD worth of humanitarian aid to more than 30 countries. China granted 14 million dollar to various international and UN agencies to fight Ebola outbreak, and in total between 2006 and 2015 we contributed five million five hundred thousand to Central Emergency Response fund .We would like remind you that these numbers does not include the bilateral agreements we’ve made with the recipient countries.

    What is Australia’s Refugee intake compared to others and how do the refugees benefit our country? In the media it is commonly said that Refugees are bad for Australia and really shouldn’t be accepted in (or in very small numbers) into Australia, but one thing which is almost never highlighted is some of the good which can happen when they are accepted and how they can truly help our country excel compared to others. Hopefully this information provided below will be able to teach you some of the reasons that accepting them into this country might not be such a bad idea and also how many Australia really does take in per year compared to other nations.

    In 1999, following the debate on the state of the history curriculum between historians Stuart Macintyre and John Hirst, the federal government issued a national enquiry into the teaching of history in Australian schools. Thus resulted in Prime Minister John Howard initiating the overhaul of the Australian school curriculum. In order to make a national curriculum that modelled of New South Wales syllabus. This is due to the fact that in the rest of the country “history was an all but invisible subject, inadequately subsumed within a generic and controversial approach to social education known as Studies of Society and Environment”. This essay will examine the emergence and changes of the Australian national curriculum in order to examine the advantages and disadvantages of such a system.…

    Current Climate Foreign aid has been a major aspect of international relations since the end of World War II, when allied countries gave money to Europe in order to rebuild after war ravaged the continent. The concept of aid has expanded since then to help those who are living in abject poverty, to assist in the development of infrastructure, and to help those living under the threat of perpetual war. The West has put an emphasis on providing foreign aid to those in need whether it is through celebrity campaigns, government initiatives, or charity groups. Humanitarian aid and health initiatives have done amazing things for the world, such as the eradication of smallpox, as well as the provision of emergency supplies after a national disaster.…
