In Considerations on Representative Democracy Mill argues that a form of representative democracy is the best ideal form of government. It is not an invariant ideal that holds regardless of historical or social circumstances. But he does think that it is the best form of government for societies with sufficient resources, security, and culture of self-reliance.

a fire. His minders tried to force his hair straight, breaking comb teeth in his frizzy curls. It was a vain attempt by whites to make an Aboriginal child more like them. It didn't work, and the combs weren't the only casualties". In this page we can know more about this aborigine's kids…

In 1914 Australian men went out to sign up for war many not knowing what they were signing up for. The Australian troops had a tough life on the Western Front as they had to face horrid conditions not only fighting and risking lives for their country but living in places where you get bad trench conditions including trench foot and fever, have pests which bring diseases and steal your food, have health problems and not able to treat them as there isn’t much aid for everyone to be treated.

The initial opinion of Warhol’s work held by Charles Comfort, the director of the National Gallery of Canada, was that he didn’t classify the “processed cartons and tin cans as sculpture” (6). It is likely Hap would have held the same opinion. His response to the governments $2 million purchase of a painted red stripe was one of astonishment. His ability to “tell what it was” (2) still caused him to call “it something…

What’s your address?” “Seven twenty-eight Sycamore. But you can’t come here. You can;t even be here.” The second bell rang. Amanda screamed, whirled, ran. “Amanda!” She stopped and turned. “Ohhhh,” she asked. She tore a book from the suitcase, hurled it…

Contrasting my Virginia, was grimy, old John Allan was my guardian. He wills nothing for me. He just left me destitute without a cent to my name. I might as well of spit on the crate if it hadn’t been for the virtuous name of Virginia. I heard a tin can sputtered behind me. I needed to keep moving though. That sneaking suspicion of being followed was creeping down my spine. I hastened my steps to keep beat with the heartbeat in my throat. Was that footsteps behind me or just my mind stomping? I…
