The Paradoxical Life of the Australian Outback Life in the Outback is a true paradox. Bush life is truly a strange twist of beauty and savagery, of loneliness and mateship, of tragedy and triumph. For every fearful mother, alone in the darkness, there is also a merry band of strangers, sharing in the joys of boiled cabbage. The paradox of Australia’s greatest frontier is perhaps best highlighted by two vastly different stories of Australian hardiness, We of the Never-Never by Jeannie Gunn, and “The Drover’s Wife” by Henry Lawson. We of the Never-Never begins with the proud declaration that “we who have lived in it, and loved it, and left it, know that our hearts can Never-Never rest away from it” (Gunn, xii), while “The Drover’s Wife” depicts the almost overwhelming struggle to make a life in the bush, and the settlers’ resolve to get out, with the husband’s intending to “move his family into the nearest town, when he comes back” (Lawson 6). In We of the Never-Never, one of the most prominent themes is the mateship that…

There are 123 suicides per day in the US and 44,965 Americans die by suicide annually (asps.org). Suicide is not a solution; therefore, it is a permanent solution to a temporary predicament.

Research Proposal:The use of Modern Technology among Young Children in the United States Introduction Use of technology among children has increased rapidly in the recent past thus raising questions of the potential impacts such technologies may have on children. According to the Office of Research at United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF), the question has now evolved from if children are using digital technology to answering the questions on how, why and what effects such technologies have on children. Digital technology offers potential benefits to children across the globe, allowing them to connect with their peers from various platforms of educational resources or entertainment. On the other hand, there are viable concerns around who children interact with by use of such technologies and whether they are also victims of cyberbullying or parties to the access of illegal online contents. Researchers have tried to establish the relationship between the time children spend using digital technology and the impacts on their lives. Some researchers have also gone ahead to navigate whether screen-based communication can jeopardize the social development of children or…
Bradford’s Of Plymouth Plantation Hello Everyone, How would you describe the character of the Pilgrims / Puritans? The Pilgrims had broken away from the Anglican Church of England and were called Separatists. While puritans of 1630 wanted to remain a part of the Anglican Church, but they gradually moved to complete separation of church and state. Puritans and pilgrims finally joined into one colony. The pilgrims/Puritans shared several characteristics which include: they thought themselves a chosen people, opposed pleasure and arts, were intolerant of others not of their views, made laws about private morality, and drove from their colonies all who disagreed with them. For example, Roger Williams was banished from Massachusetts Bay Colony in winter for his views on religious toleration. They were patriotic. The main reason the Pilgrims/Puritans moved to America was to have the freedom to worship, and they did not mind being under the colonists as long as they had the right to worship. They were also fed up with their children working. Another leader, William Bradford, said they were becoming “decrepit in their early youth;…
Seinfeld Film Analysis Defense Mechanisms Enacted by George Defense mechanisms are deployed when an individual feels uncomfortable or anxious about a situation. Repression, denial, projection, displacement, regression, and sublimation are different types of defense mechanisms (Mcleod). George showcases denial when he defends his actions during a fire. George dashes out of the room, pushing away people that included women and older adults. Everyone around him insists that his actions depict selfish behavior, but he denies it by feigning safety, equality, and leadership for the people involved. During a hiking plan involving him and his friend, George insists that he is alright when a third person is enlisted in the hike. It is obvious George is not pleased by the addition of a third person, but he pretends to be happy and okay with the new situation (Psychoanalyzing George Costanza). He also exhibits projection whereby he insists that the waitress and passerby driver show him the middle finger. In both scenarios, George is convinced that the waitress and the driver do not like him, hence the obscene gesture made towards…
Fusion Centers and JTTFs The prevalence of domestic crime and international terrorism pushes governments to form mitigatory teams and organizations. In the U.S., the government continually takes a significant number of measures to reduce violence and insecurity. Two of these measures are the fusion centers and the Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTFs). These organizations play unique but complementary roles in preventing criminal activity in the country. This paper evaluates the tasks of both teams and analyses the demerits of lacking fire marshals in JTTF task forces. Fusion centers are state-owned, and serve as the divergence point for the receipt, gathering, analysis, and sharing of national and international threat information. The cyber enters have different bases in states and major urban centers and receive information from private and federal sectors as well as state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) regions. Although fusion centers are state-owned, they are directed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The National Network of Fusion Centers focuses on gathering critical information relevant to DHS functions, thus playing a critical role in the success of DHS (Department…
