...1750-1901 was a beneficial progression. however, this complex matter isn’t a simple black and white issue. Slavery existed in North America for 245 years and deteriorated the physical and emotional state of many African slaves. On the other hand, free settlers who travelled to Australia were presented with numerous opportunities that could enhance their lives. In 1619, the Dutch brought the initial captured slaves from Africa to America and instigated the inhumane and severe mistreatment of Africans that stemmed from the slave system. Slavery spread throughout American colonies and it is estimated that there were more than 6 to 7 million Africans that were thrown...

...Instructor’s Name Course Date Women in Australia colonies Port Philip grew at an amazing rate in the 1830s when free settlers and female convicts were sent to Victoria to respond to the labor shortage. Women were outnumbered by men with a ration 1 to seven respectively. Women were the small population and were the most vulnerable proportion of the whole population. Initially, the majority of women were unmarried free settlers. There was a great demand for single women to serve as house servants, and the government covered the travel expenses to Victoria with families or married couples. . However, the free female settlers were still vulnerable as they were not lucky enough to get employment and they had to meet their financial needs. If they lost their job or get pregnant, they were forced to depend on charitable organizations or move to the streets. . For the convicts that were sent to Port Philip, the place was worse, with prostitution being their unspoken sentence. Life was difficult on arrival as convict women were taken to settlers households to serve as domestic servants. Some were lucky to marry and start new lives, but the majority of them were victims of prostitution and crime. For the most women, de facto relationships or marriage ensured they were protected and provided for from the rough elements of the society, and security was given at a price. Alcohol was too common in the settlements, and women had to deal with physical and verbal abuse from...

...Now for me I never really thought about Australia day being anything but going to the beach, having a BBQ and a few drinks to celebrate what a great place we live in but after watching this video it has changed my whole mindset about Australia day. Let me tell you what Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander people call Australia day, they call it a day of invasion, a day of mourning and a day to celebrate survival. While watching this video I learnt that Aboriginals see Australia day as a day where we all celebrate rape, murder and rasism and they are completey right. This is the day Aboriginals lost everything some celebrate this day mourning over what they have lost while we are out there enjoying what we have and what we haven't been through. At the end of the video an Aboriginal lady said that they just want to be included in Australia day and that right there changed my whole mind set on how I will celebrate Australia day for the rest of my...

...Diana Frias LACS 271 Professor Almendros March 23,2014 The chagas disease The spread of the chagas disease is most common in places of greater poverty in Latin America and the Caribbean. The chagas disease is a parasitic disease named after the Brazilian physician Carlos Chagas who discovered it in 1909. It is spread to animals and people through a bite of an infected insect named triatomine bugs or “kissing bugs” that carry the parasite known as Trypanosoma cruzi (Boston College). The triatomine insect feeds on the blood a mammal infected with Trypanosoma cruzi, ingesting the parasite. The insect then becomes infected and now moves on to bite a human transferring the parasite. As the insect bites, it releases its feces near the site of the bite wound allowing the parasite to enter the victim. The parasite then invades the first cells it comes in contact with. They use the victim cells to multiply then releasing itself into the victim bloodstream where they will then continue to multiple and spread into different areas in the body. There are many other ways in which the disease can be spread. For example, infections occur from mother to baby, through contaminated blood transfusions, organ transplant from an infected donor and rarely though contaminated food or drinks (FAQs). Symptoms do not show immediately after being bitten by the triatomine bug. It takes from five days to two weeks for slight symptoms to show. Some symptoms are mild fever with body ache and swelling...

...Megacities A megacity is the name commonly given to a city with the population of over 10 million people, Such as; Tokyo, New York, Shanghai, Mexico City etc. The distribution of megacities has changed greatly since the 1950’s. In 1950 megacities were mainly located in MEDC’s with the majority of them found in and around Europe and America. For example; New York, London, Paris, Moscow etc. In comparison to this the pattern from 2013 shows the distribution of megacities to be located in and around Asia in newly industrialised countries. E.g. Tokyo, Jakarta, Seoul, Delhi, Shanghai and Karachi. There could be a number of reasons to indicate why there is such a contrast in the distribution of megacities between 1950 and 2013. I believe one of the biggest reasons is the rapid growth and speed of international immigration. In the mid-20th century there was limited transport between countries meaning international immigration was rare, however now transport has developed it’s become more accessible, faster and cheaper and immigration has flourished. The growing number of megacities could also be due to the increase in urbanisation. In 2007 more than 3.2 billion people (more than half of the world’s population) lived in towns and cities, and in MEDC’s around 90% of the country’s population were living in urban areas. The increase of urbanisation is in many cases due to the job opportunities found in cities. The rate of urbanisation is increasing more each year meaning now the...

The former CBD is located on the south side of the prominent ridge called the Witwatersrand (Afrikaans: White Water's Ridge) and the terrain falls to the north and south. By and large the Witwatersrand marks the watershed between the Limpopo and Vaal rivers. The north and west of the city has undulating hills while the eastern parts are flatter. Johannesburg may not be built on a river or harbour, but its streams are the source of two of southern Africa's mightiest rivers. A number of streams meander through the suburbs of Johannesburg, and form the source of two of southern Africa's primary rivers – the Limpopo and the Orange. Most of the springs from which many of these streams emanate are now covered in concrete and canalised, accounting for the fact that the names of early farms in the area often end with "fontein", meaning "spring" in Afrikaans.

...How Rural-Urban Migration Contributes to the Development of a Megacity: A case from Bangladesh Abstract Like other developing countries, rural-urban migration is the prime reason of developing megacity in Bangladesh. It is the most important factor for rapid urbanization as well. Dhaka, the only megacity in Bangladesh, became a megacity having more than 10 million of population in 2001. Dhaka is the center of attraction of this region since 7th century and the development phase of this megacity can be categorized into five- Pre-mughal period, Mughal period, British period, Pakistan period and independent Bangladesh period. Although rural-urban migration plays the crucial most role to turn Dhaka from a city to megacity, it was not very significant during the first three period. With the partition of subcontinent Dhaka became the capital of independent Bangladesh and huge numbers of migrants start to step into this city. Dhaka, the 9th largest of 21 megacities of the world, drags people towards it with several ‗forces of attraction‘. This study, on the rural-urban migrants residing over the slums of Dhaka city, finds that availability of jobs, easy access to informal economy, ‗Dhaka means Taka‘ conception and ‗illuminating Dhaka‘ are the prime forces of attraction of Dhaka megacity. Keywords: Megacity, Dhaka, Rural-Urban Migration, Migration toward Megacity, Forces of Attraction. Introduction Development of cities and urban centers as well is intrinsically related with...

...Burning Down the House: Mortgage Fraud and the Destruction of Residential Neighborhoods Ann Fulmer March 2010 Burning Down the House: Mortgage Fraud and the Destruction of Residential Neighborhoods Mortgage fraud is bank robbery without a gun. 1 It is a high-yield, 2 low risk enterprise that has been reported in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, 3 Canada, 4 New Zealand, 5 Australia, 6 and England. 7 In the United States, it is committed by organized international and domestic rings, 8 street gangs, 9 terrorists, 10 drug traffickers, 11 real estate agents, 12 closing attorneys, 13 appraisers, 14 mortgage brokers, 15 The targeted victims distinguish mortgage fraud from predatory lending. In predatory lending cases the borrower is victimized by the illegal practices of the lender or its agents with respect to fees and disclosures relating to the cost of the loan. It is unfortunate that the media, consumer activists, legislators and law enforcement personnel frequently conflate mortgage fraud with predatory lending since it adds unnecessary confusion to an already complex issue and diverts attention and badly needed resources from the fight against true mortgage fraud. 2 The average “take” on a bank robbery is approximately $3,000.00. By contrast, the average straw borrower receives a “cut” of at least $10,000 and the orchestrator’s “take” in a mortgage fraud transaction frequently exceeds $100,000. In a few cases the orchestrator’s take was in excess of $1...
