Guadalcanal Campaign

on the campaign trail, he began to tread murky waters. Politicians like Trump should seek to deeply understand the ramifications of using an artist’s work in a public, explicitly political setting. Musicians as authors and curators of their own art are the most qualified people to answer the question of what they intend their music to represent. As such they should be afforded the respect of determining the message their art portrays, especially in public settings such as political campaign…

young adults, ages 16-24 spend more than 200 minutes a day on a mobile device. This number is expected to continue to grow due to the increase in people always wanting to know what is going on. Thomson states that it is imperative for candidates to campaign on social media to reach the young demographic because they “make(s) up the same proportion of the U.S. voting-age population as the Baby…

We ran the Facebook campaign with the hopes of reaching more professionals. Unfortunately, although there was a large reach for the campaign, which ran on a budget of $250.00 and had 420 engagements, less than 5 people filled it out, as shown below. Although, it was a challenge to determine which people had filed out the survey due to the Facebook Ad Campaign. Perhaps if we were to do this again, we can ask if the subjects were filling it…

Why would we fly it, parade it, wave it and wear it, if it didn’t serve its purpose? The Australian National Flag is a crucial figure in our Australian Identity, and therefore the change in its design is unnecessary. It is obvious that the cost of such a thing would implode on our national budget, lose symbolic denotations embedded in the current flag and change the way our country is perceived internationally. As a nation, we need to fight to keep the innate design of the Australian National…

Australia's wartime experiences especially those at Pozieres during World War I, acknowledges how the soldiers have shaped our nation and become an integral part of defining who we as Australians are. Australia had an important role in supporting the imperial Great Britain and were always ever-ready to aid Britain even though the war did not affect Australian geographically.

At the national level, public campaign finance is defunct, yet in municipalities, there are various public campaign finance systems in use.

Indeed it seems as if the richest candidates are always guaranteed to win, unfortunatly even those without money should be given a fair chance for a successful campaign. In addition to having limits on what a candidate can receive from individuals, I also believe that they must disclose where they receive…

Villers-Bretonneux, a town in France, is home to the main Australian World War One memorial, Musée Franco-Australien, Victoria School and Restaurant le Kangourou. The meaning behind its Australian atmosphere and influences are quite remarkable and displays the pure qualities of ‘Anzac Spirit’. These qualities include endurance, courage, ingenuity, good humour and mateship. It is believed that, “The only thing necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing” (Edmund Burke,…

popularity of a candidate, but overall it is not the only factor that influences the votes that the candidate receives in primaries as well as on election day. Money has been found to have major and minor effects on presidential elections based on campaign funding, super PACs, and statistics from the 2012 election.
