It was in the 90s when Sir John first told his peers and friends at a time when society was ignorant in its acknowledgement or understanding of depression. At this time within the police it would have been almost impossible for someone to admit to suffering from depression, potentially admitting to having a mental illness. The police as it was then would have had difficulty understanding or accepting that someone suffering from depression could be considered capable of still performing their…

Undoubtedly, the human race has become more conscious about our surroundings due to the destruction we have subjected it to as a result of our urban and industrial culture. Through examining the deceptively profound texts, ‘The Wilderness Next Door’ and ‘The Estuary,’ we are able to explore man’s relationship to nature. With our technologically-driven and advanced society and fast-paced lifestyles, we often find it difficult to take a moment to unwind from our busy agendas and reflect on the…

Stand Up for the Ones Who Can’t Cassandra Clare, a renowned American author, once declared, “Everyone has choices to make; no one has the right to take those choices away from us. Not even out of love.” In North America, individual choices often win over collective choices. Generally, people suppose that they have the right to make their very own decisions by following their personal core values. Since values are deeply held beliefs, individuals strongly wish to honour their principles, even…

outside and be another way on the inside. On the side of homosexuality in the film, Sugar and Osgood are the two characters that break through the normal tropes of the early film industry; according to Susan Woodward, a professor at the University of Auckland, Some Like It Hot “stands out… because it refuses the conventional reinstatement of a heteronormative status quo” (Woodward).

It is often said that teaching is one of the toughest occupations to partake in. lesson planning, organizing classroom materials, taking care of young children, and most of all, attending countless meetings discussing data are all tasks involved in the teaching profession. Assessments and data collection have been known to be the most popular, disliked task for educators (Center for Comprehensive School Reform and Improvement). Data has become a sole component coming from research materials,…

Paul Trott and Dap Hartman (2009), propose that a false dichotomy exists in the open vs. closed innovation debate, instead the two paradigms are not mutually exclusive with most, if not all, firms carrying out principles of both. I believe that this is the case with the firm PowerbyPoxi, hence I agree with the statement “PowerbyProxi has adopted both open and closed innovation processes”. This can be demonstrated by analysing the relationship between PowerbyProxi and some of its major…

Environmentalism means concerns about and action aimed at protecting the environment. In numerous regions, Australia's mild zones and waterfront biological systems have been broadly changed, and many wetlands have been ruined. Every single day we contribute to the destruction of the environment. Many products from big name brand such as MacDonald's and Coca-Cola are palm oil users.

Bobo’s discussion of audience’s reactions to ‘Daughters of the Dust’ highlighted the significant difference to my own (Dash, 1991). I struggled with this film, it did not resonate and although I thought it was quite beautiful and because of that, mesmerising, I did not understand it. I found the dialect difficult to comprehend and the narrative, unfamiliar. I tried to decipher this text in two ways. Firstly, I attempted to take what I was seeing and place it within a context that I felt I…
