disabilities. Asylums, places that housed the mentally ill in the 19th century, used harsh, painful, and inhumane methods to treat their patients. These methods of treatment began to change after Dorothea Dix, a teacher and nurse in the Civil War, began visiting asylums and reporting it to the public what she had witnessed. Dorothea Dix studied these patients and the treatments used on them for nearly her whole life, then helped a movement along to help asylums be better. Her criticisms of the…

Mental…

institutions or asylums based on race, religion, sexual orientation and other societal categories. Women were placed in the Magdalene Asylums for being sexually active or having impure thoughts.

painful realization of the implications of her sexual identity (Higson & Mullan, 2002). She has the opportunity to escape for good, but the young man who offers her a ride makes a remark about how she must be from “in there”, referring to the Magdalene Asylum, and says that they must be taking in “loonies” now (Higson & Mullan, 2002).

COM111 – Task 3 The booklet “Girt by Sea” was written by Mungo McCullum speaks upon the refugees entering Australia and the battle between the politics. From my personal view, I feel refugees have the right to come to Australia to seek safety. Throughout the sections "The Boat People of 1881”, The Abuse of Innocence","Wongs, Whites and Reffos" and "The Big Lie”, Mungo McCullum uses strong points and persuasive techniques to shift the views of his readers. I feel Mungo uses strong points and…
