Queensland University of Technology

Academic and cultural experience/shock. I was fortunate enough to have such a great opportunity of going to Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia on student exchange program.

The degree emphasised the value of critiquing culture,…

Queensland is the only jurisdiction in Australia to send 17 year olds to adult correctional centres. The recent changes in regards to reducing youth crime are likely to fail in decreasing crime rates in Queensland. The continuation of the policy to incarcerate 17 year olds in adult correctional facilities in Queensland is unlikely to succeed in reducing juvenile crime. The current legislation in Queensland is highly likely to fail in reducing crime. It is clear from research conducted that 17…

would become quite difficult in an unorganised environment, so organisation is key. Organisation is shown in my life when I have to hand in drafts and assignments for school, keep track of my homework, turn up to sport trainings and committee meetings and simply keeping my work-space at home organised and tidy. The main education and training for this occupation comes from university. An OP 11 is required along with the prerequisites of English, Math and Physics. A four year course of the…

Selection Criteria: Proven ability to relate to and work with children and young people with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties.

All the advice you hear while you’re expecting you start to ignore and dismiss, because your either too excited or you don’t think it will be bad for you. Being a mother of a six month old, I was guilty of this myself. The first thing anyone tells you when you announce you’re expecting is to hurry up and sleep. And while some take it to heart, others are busy getting everything together for…

Too Much Sugar Sugar is a large problem across the world. Sugar is noteworthy as a substance that releases opioids and dopamine which might be expected to have addictive potential. Which makes “Food addiction” seems plausible because brain pathways that evolved to respond to natural rewards are also activated by addictive drugs. The evidence supports the hypothesis that under certain circumstances rats can become sugar dependent. This may translate to some human conditions as suggested by the…

As technology becomes increasingly more advanced, society is further sucked into using wireless devices. In fact, people are becoming so attached to their phones, that they are now incapable of even crossing a street without posting the event on social media, and this is detrimental to all people on the road.

He is an incredible artist and one of my tutors at the Queensland University of Technology. When I met him I was still in high-school and was not considering a future in this industry. I had been told by countless people, as I have already mentioned, that my desire to be an artist was discouraged and mocked and belittled. Being an artist in front of these people made me feel inferior and worthless. I felt as if I could never be successful; that I could never be happy even though I would be doing…
