...The stolen generations are numerous groups of Aboriginal children that were taken away from their families by the governments, churches and welfare bodies so that they could be brought up in institutions or fostered out into white families. Beginning in the 1830’s and ending in the early 1070’s, many children were taken from their families in an attempt to eradicate the Aboriginal race and culture. The Australian government’s policy and practice of removing the Aboriginal children from their families was put into practice during that time period. Removing children from their families from their families was considered official government policy in Australia until 1969. However, the practice had begun in the earliest days of European settlement, when children were used as guides, servants and farm...

...The government Policies of Protection and Assimilation impacted the lives of the Stolen Generation negatively, contradicting its main purposes. The term ‘Stolen Generations’ was used to describe the unwilling removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children from 1901 to 1970. The children had to abandoned and reject their Aboriginality, assimilating into western values and norms. Consequently, many suffered from the trauma of losing their families, identity and culture. Also, the Aboriginal children had to cope with discrimination from the white community and the fact of having their human rights taken away. The loss of family and a motherly figure negatively impacted the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander children. The Policy...

...Two Cultures: Bridging the Gap with Etic and Emic Viewpoint Culture is defined as a learned system of beliefs, feelings, and rules for living through which they organize their lives. Culture is a way of life that is passed from one generation to the next, and societies within the culture are guided by their learned system of beliefs, feelings, and rules for living. Within the customs of their culture, people within society are taught that they share some common understandings with one another. Being taught the customs, members of society are expected to follow the traditional customs of the group. Cultural relativism recognizes that different cultures have distinct social trajectories, or chosen paths (Carpo, 2013). In understanding a specific custom within a culture, it is important to view the culture from an outside perspective (etic). This is exactly what I will demonstrate within the first section of this paper while expanding and discovering another culture from an inside perspective (emic) which shows how even though customs are different within various cultures a different viewpoint can illuminate the entire picture and bridge the gap between both cultures – the Aboriginals and African Americans. Part I – Religion and the African American Culture among Other Things Religion and the Black Church in African American society, in regards to the socio-cultural, economic and political issues of the 20th century, has branched the African American experience of mere individual...

...Benjamin Jackson NT1110 Aug 26, 2013 Research Paper: Identity Theft Identity theft, also known as ID theft is a crime in which a criminal obtains key pieces of personal information, such as Social Security or driver's license numbers, in order to pretend to be someone else. The information can be used to obtain credit, merchandise, and services using the victims’ name. Identity theft can also provide a thief with false credentials for immigration or other applications. One of the biggest problems with identity theft is that very often the crimes committed by the identity theft expert are often credited to the victim. A thief could take out a mortgage in your name or commit a crime and pretend to be you when caught. Thieves can even use your personal information to apply for a job or use your medical insurance. Identity theft has become one of the world’s leading crimes in the world. Identity theft drastically increased in the year 2000 by nearly 52%, occurring every half second all across the world. There are two primary types of identity theft: ~Account takeover ~True name theft Account takeover identity theft refers to the type of situation where an imposter uses the stolen personal information to gain access to the person’s existing accounts. Often the identity thief will use the stolen identity to run up current credit lines, by changing your address so that you never see the credit card bills that the thief constantly runs up. True name identity theft means...

...‘THE SUFFERINGS OF A STOLEN GENERATION’ ‘Given the history of the European colonisation of Australia, many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are wary of white institutions and social welfare’ (Chenoweth & McAuliffe 2012, p.274). Identify and discuss one or two of the historical events that have impacted on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and how the effects can be seen today. This paper aims to discuss how the assimilation policy and forced separation of Indigenous children from their families and culture has affected the mental health and wellbeing of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. A significant undertone of the assimilation policy is racial discrimination (Haebich 2001), which is an additional theme explored in this discussion. Racial discrimination is built on a belief of superiority that one race is better than the other (Khalafzai 2009, p.10), which is relevant to the actions of the assimilation policy; the Aboriginal culture was devalued and considered barbaric and inappropriate to the modern colonist nation (Haebich 2001). Victims of the forced separation suffered severe psychological consequences (Petchkovsky et al. 2004), which to this day, haunt and affect the lives of many Indigenous Australians (Koolmatrie & Williams 2000). Furthermore, remnants of the past are still seen present time, through the discriminating treatment of Indigenous Australians, adversely impacting on their health, mentally and physically (Khalafzai...

...and non-acceptable plagiarism. On one hand, acceptable plagiarism is where some people take other people's ideas and develop them to benefit society. One example is spreading the ideas education. It is totally okay to learn from the generations before us and use that knowledge to create new things to develop our world. As what the scientists do. They take their knowledge from the scientists for them to discover new things and develop their discoveries. Another example is learning the cultures and customs from the past generations. If there was not a cultural plagiarism between generations, there would not be different cultures and customs and all countries would be the same. According to Plagiarism and the Flow of Ideas." education is defined as process by which society deliberately transmits it accumulated knowledge, skills, customs and values from one generation to the next, according to Wikipedia. Therefore, education is could be considered a form of plagiarism"_(Wittaker, 2012, paragraph_3" What she means is that educating and teaching the past customs and any kind of giving knowledge is consider plagiarism, but not any plagiarism. It is acceptable by the society and even good. In short, passing knowledge and ideas from one generation to the next is a good type of plagiarism which is acceptable and welcomed by the society because it does not hurt anybody, in contrast it benefit at the...

...Ethics in Accounting Linh Pham University of Mount Olive Author Note This research paper was prepared for ACC483, taught by Professor Henry Singletary. Ethics in Accounting Ethics in Accounting has recently attracted a lot of attention in the field of business. Based on my knowledge, ethics in accounting are the behavior or actions that doesn’t allow for intentionally inaccurate and false in accounting practices. This is quite complex because we not only have to follow the accounting rules, but also need to make decisions based on the moral or ethics principles. However, ethics varies by cultures, individual perceptions, religion. For example, what seems about right in one country could be totally wrong in another country. Or what you think is right may actually be wrong. Therefore, it’s really difficult for us to follow the same ethics principle and apply those principles to ethics in accounting practices. In this paper, I will bring a thorough discussion of how to make accounting behaviors become more ethical. Ethics in Accounting is what we really need to take into our consideration in this era, especially after the financial and accounting failures of many big firms such as Enron, WorldCom, AOL, Global Crossing, Tyco, Lehman and AIG. As a matter of fact, experts and analysts are trying to find out the root causes of these failures. It is also significant to realize that more and more fraud cases are detected in this era. Therefore, there is a big question that...

...but all staff are responsible for managing their own records. Records management ensures that records are systematically and efficiently: * created, captured and described * secured, stored and preserved for as long as they are needed * destroyed or transferred once they no longer have any residual business value.

...Abstract This paper explores four published articles, six books and three web sites that report on results from research about three generations of people over the span of approximately fifty years. The articles and books suggest that there is a strong connection between generations in relation to their experiences, worldviews and beliefs. The information gathered for this research paper is consistent across sources. The paper examines how much each generation influenced the other as its members traveled through their life cycle. Researchers have determined that every generation has a specific characteristic that distinguishes it from the other. In short, the overall effect one generation has on the other depends on circumstances that existed during that period. We will examine generations referred to as Baby boomers, Generation X and Millennials and how their history helped to shape the world today. It is clear that these three generations are distinct in terms of their experiences, worldviews and beliefs. However, it is also evident that history shaped the development of each group, allowing the generation that followed to benefit from earlier periods in history, creating pockets of similarities across the decades. Experiences in their lifetimes The Baby Boomer Generation is the name given to persons born between “1947 and 1966” and was seen as the last generation that effected any great changes on American society. This generation was distinguishable...

...Individual Paper Topic: Explain the need for understanding different intergenerational attitudes of people towards technology and the implications it has for facilitating communicating between digital natives and digital immigrations. HO Nancy Hiu Kwan Introduction With the growth of time, the role of technology is getting more and more significant where technological products are commonly found in today‟s society and everyone generally equips with more than 2 gadgets to deal with their daily business. It is observed that majority of people flips on their smartphone during the ride or in meal are teenagers and young adults, they do with no reason but treat it as a habit. Since those digital natives can hardly live without the electronic devices, feel uncomfortable without them in hands and play with it (smartphone) regardless of the location and time can therefore said as an addiction.

...and instead wait for the next terror attack to happen before we do anything? Within the vast population of the United States, the majority believes that it is proper for the government to track millions of calls of Americans in order to investigate possible terrorism. In general, my research shows that approximately 56% of the American people believe that scanning is a justified action of the government given the circumstances. According to the Pew Research Center in 2013, approximately 55% of the older generations encourage governmental scanning to explore and seek out potential terrorist activities, while waiving their constitutional rights to privacy in the process. When it comes to the younger generations however, that number dips to approximately 45%, showing this demographic to be just slightly more reluctant to waive their privacy rights. Conversely though, only 12% of the entire population of the younger generations actually follow this subject closely which makes one wonder how informed their decisions are. These statistics naturally segue the conversation to the relevant subject of sources, and where the younger generation gets their information from. When we think of younger generations, we think of social media, faces buried into cell phones, reading blogs and assuming any information or opinion offered is accurate and truthful. Does this reliance on other opinions and unreliable sources, lead to a society of followers? Are we not accountable for checking out sources...
