With earnings totalling 2.8 billion pounds, the Salvation Army is one of the most popular charities in the world. At a first glance they appear to be doing good by responding to disasters and feeding the homeless, however it is not hard to find the scandals and corruption within this organisation once you begin to look a little deeper, from homophobia, transphobia, hypocritical beliefs, corruption and the fact that they are a cult, there is little reason why you should consider donating to this…

paths of others. One way that Chris and Henry are similar is that they both had an extreme hatred for money. Growing up Chris’s family had a lot of money, and at a young age he was good at making money. As he grew older he donated all his money to OXFAM, a foundation for the hunger, and burned the rest of his money because he didn’t like how money changed people (Krakauer, 20). Henry on the other hand did not go to that extreme, he just wanted live off the nature to help give him thoughts on…

As John Locke once said, “ All people have ‘natural rights’ of life, liberty and property. The government was to protect these, if it didn’t overthrow it.” Our founding fathers agreed and included key ideals from this quote when writing our Declaration of Independence. Therefore, they felt it was important to guarantee every citizen the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These ideals have become the cornerstone of the American ideal known as the American Dream – the idea that…

Christopher McCandless did not make the right choice in not letting his family know he was alive and well. Nothing hurts more than the loss of a loved one, the passing of Chris devastated his family. Chris left with the intention of not wanting to be found, Chris caused stress on his family because they had no idea if he was alive. The least that Chris could have done to communicate with his family would be to send them a postcard once in a while to let his family know he was still living. I…

Before beginning this presentation, I would just like to acknowledge the area which we now know as the City of Wyndham was a place of much significance to the local Aboriginal people and that we should respect the first Australians of this land. Many native people around the world have been known to undergo a pattern of mistreatment and oppression, Australia is not exempt from this. There have been a few improvements over the years, as many have tried to restore the implications made in the…

condition of the interior” (5). This shows that living as a minimalist that you rely on your abilities rather than your belongings. Another example, when Chris decides to get rid of what he does not need, “Chris had given away his college fund to OXFAM” (34). Here demonstrates Chris belief on resources such as money, which he does not find necessary to be self-reliant. In all, to be a Transcendentalist hero one needs reliance on his or her own powers and resources, as Chris…

Two-way collaboration with the Kombumerri elders, the exchange of cultural perspectives and language, will bridge the cultural span and ensconce an atmosphere of respect for the geographical and biological links to the land on which my classroom stands (Oxfam Australia, 2007, p. 1; WADE, n.d.). In addition, the inclusion of Aboriginal English into everyday classroom discourse, will scaffold Aboriginal children’s learning and understanding of Standard English by…

SWEATSHOPS
Ever since the Industrial Revolution in the early 19th century, sweatshops have been a common occurrence in Third World countries throughout the world. Sweatshops are generally characterised and defined as places of employment that have low wages, long hours and poor working and living conditions. Some people, often economists, view sweatshops as a benefit to poverty stricken employees, as they are provided with somewhere to stay and an opportunity to make money for themselves.…

Money is everything--at least, according to the affluent. In 2017, eight dollars of every ten dollars was acquired by the wealthiest one percent in America (“Oxfam: The 1% grabbed 82%,” 2018). Americans strive to manifest wealth in their lives to achieve satisfaction. The more dollar bills one has the higher one can stack them so he or she can ascend higher on the social hierarchy. This philosophy of always having money on the mind is prevalent in Rebecca Harding Davis’s novella “Life in the…
