...The Stolen Generation in Australia The Aboriginal people lived long on their land without any contact from the Europeans. They are believed to first arrive in Australia between 42,000 and 48,000 years ago (Beck). They managed to live in often inhospitable conditions unbearable for the inhabitants of the “old continent”. The Aborigines did not differ only in their living conditions, but also in their way of living in general, their culture. The aboriginal culture was based on several principles which did not come to understanding when the Europeans first arrived. Perhaps the most essential aspect of the Aboriginal culture is the “kinship obligation”, when everyone in the tribe is expected to perform certain tasks without being asked to (Encyclopædia Britannica 4). The white society, in contrast with the Australian indigenous people, was based (and still is) on the concept of private membership, something absolutely unknown in Australia prior to the European settlements. The irreconcilable differences led, in consequence, to clashes and misunderstandings between the two cultures. The Europeans, however, regarded themselves superior. Lloyd describes the situation in Australia after the arrival of the European settlers as being based on “the idea of Aborigines as an inferior ‘doomed race,’ superseded by more highly developed, more enlightened Europeans” (Lloyd). No matter whether this claim was legitimate or not, it had damaging consequences. James Cook landed in Botany Bay in...

...will describe the life of the Aboriginals in Australia, a characterisation of the character Jack McPhee and some comments of his experiences in the novel “Wanamurraganya”, an analysis of “Mary’s Song Cycle”, and finally I will talk about the movie “Rabbit Proof Fence” First, I will like to start talking about who and what the Aboriginals are, they were the original residentes of Australia and they have been there since around 45.000 years ago, however the Aboriginals claim they trace their creation back to the “Dreamtime”, an era where the earth were created. Before the first settlers came to Australia in 1788, the Aboriginal people lived throughout Australia, although the most of the population lived along the coast. Today more than half of all Aboriginals live in cities, often in cruel conditions with bad educations, and some with the habit of drug, alcohol and smoking addictions. The novel starts with that Jack McPhee is born in 1905, and that he is an illegitimate son of an Aboriginal woman and white station owner. Mary’s Song Cycle is made Ruby Langford Ginibi, she is born Jan 26 1934 and she died Oct 1 2011, she a Bundjalung author, historian and lecturer on Aboriginal history, culture and politics. The poem is narrative, because it a tells a story, the story is about the “stolen generation” and how the Australian government treated the Aboriginals, the poem ask the reader where it’s people, children, traditions and warriors are, but right in the middle of the poem...

...bank, which questions have been verified correct and validated before actually using them on actual exams. From that question bank, set of questions will be analyzed and selected to form a subject’s competency exam. A problem may arise if the questions found in the test bank, which are probably just paper documents, or unsecured electronic files, are stolen, manipulated or snooped. Also, there is a high probability that the questions found on exams are just the retake of previous batches, thereby encouraging cheating and disclosure. The process of selecting questions from the test question bank is also troublesome and time-consuming. The task of choosing questions based on difficulty and domain of learning may be quite confusing especially if one decides to select the questions manually. It may require a lot of patience and keen analytical skills to obtain a competency exam in which questions based on week number are well-balanced to analyze effectively the competency of students who will take the exam. Another problem is the checking of the student’s papers and the registration of their answers on a test item analysis form, which will serve as a feedback mechanism to the recently concluded competency exam. Filling up this form requires a lot of time and effort. For every form, it...

...The analysis of hagiographic texts should extend beyond the internal life of religious communities and examine the relationships among communities and lay society. “By concentrating on a specific locale, by examining the codicological tradition, by going beyond classic hagiographic texts to look at liturgy, miracle collections, devotional literature, and even the evidence of archives, they avoid artificial constructs of author and ideal.” Geary asserts that we need dozens of micro studies of the lives of individual saints, that we need to be informed of the relationships between ordinary laity and their local saints, that we need model of comportment and ideals of human existence that saints seemed to offer. In short, researchers should further cultivate...

...The pace of technological improvement is running at an exponentially increasing rate. While this has been true for several decades, the pace today makes capital investment in technology as much an asset as a handicap because a competitor may wait for the next-generation technology, which may only be a year away, and then use it to achieve an advantage. Of course waiting to be that competitor can be equally risky. What’s a CEO to do? Similarly, the ability for even the best of technologists to stay informed about emerging technology is in conflict with the need to master a company's current technology. The problem to be solved is to develop a long-term technology strategy while remaining flexible enough to take advantage of unforeseen technology developments. Technology and Security is one of the major issues facing organizations today. Technology today is evolving every day. The rapid changes in which technology have been making lately has made it easier for criminal to get a hold of information. This occurs by people using the internet and entering their information on untrusted sites allowing these criminal to hack into the sites and still valuable information such as personal and banking information. The more technology increases and changes over time the more companies will continue to have issues. Banking institutions, e-commerce retailers and others processing payments online continue to rely too heavily on outdated authentication techniques. Today, organizations are...

...ORGANIZED CRIME INVESTIGATION "Yes, Mr. Hoover, there is a Mafia" (Rudy Giuliani) Organized crime is in a class by itself. It's big, it's powerful, it's well-connected, and highly profitable. Mafia is the most common term used to describe the more profitable criminal organizations around the world, but other terminology exists, such as: international criminal organizations (military usage); transnational crime (United Nations usage); and enterprise crime (FBI usage). As the term is utilized in criminology, it refers to any (or all) of six (6) different types of crime: (1) crime as business, which includes white collar crime as well as various forms of corruption; (2) offenses involving works of art, counterfeiting, or other cultural artifacts; (3) crime associated with the distribution and sale of narcotics as well as other contraband substances; (4) crime associated with human migration or sex trafficking including various forms of prostitution; and (5) crime involving contract murder or for-hire use of force, mostly deadly force; and (6) various forms of computer crime involving identity theft and/or other large-scale financial frauds. No one-sentence conceptual definition exists, and a very useful webpage can be found on the Internet devoted to the Many Definitions of Organized Crime. There are known characteristics of organized crime, such as corruption, violence, sophistication, continuity, structure, discipline, ideology (or lack thereof), multiple enterprises...

...As William Damon, one of the world’s leading scholars on human development, looked through the roster of the U-20 US Men’s National Soccer Team prior the 2007 U-20 FIFA World Cup, he could easily identify the original nationality of each player. By the end of his analysis he had tallied eight different nations from five different continents. When Damon confronted the team with the notion of the American Dream, the players spoke excitedly about how open American culture was compared to their home countries and the opportunities to pursue any career they wished (Damon 1). Despite their different origins from across the globe, on the pitch this group of first, second, and third generation immigrants were all united under one nationality. This...

...attention: • Payroll specialists and administrators both have the ability to add employees to payroll directly. • Payroll specialists can change payroll details during validation. • There is too much “power” given to specialists. • Strong possibilities for false time cards to be created. • Time cards can be modified easily. • Payrolls that are deleted are not recorded (needed for audit). • Direct deposit and paycheck generation systems are not linked. • Reports are easily exported into an Excel file. These are just some of the vulnerabilities that were noticed. To address these vulnerabilities, the following should be considered: • Have clear and concise polices as to the extent of permissions given to specialists and administrators. If it pertains to any managerial content, they should not be able to access this content. • Prohibit payroll details being changed during validation. • Have some form of authentication that can verify timecards before submission. • Prohibit specialists from validating payroll data. • Direct deposit and paycheck generation systems should be linked. There is email notifications sent out only when paychecks are generated. I did not see anything about notification when direct deposit occurs....

...might look fun, but in the end the consumer might be a victim of false advertisement. One last argument is that advertisements are a constant invasion in people’s lives with the message that they need all those different products to be complete, taking advantage of the consumer’s gullibility or fear. This is why advertisements are a negative influence and is something today’s world would be better without. An example of the negative impact of advertisements is the Roni Deutch advertisements for A Professional Tax Corporation. This was a service that was advertised, and many people trusted, even after extensive research of the Corporation. Instead of “getting the maximum refund you deserve” like the advertisements say, clients money was stolen from them. Something else Roni Deutch addresses in her ad is, “Can you live on half your paycheck? That’s how much the IRS can take when they garnish your wages.” This particular message addressed in the ad plays on the consumer’s fear of not being able to pay their taxes. This is what presses a lot of consumers to purchase products because the advertisement targets their fears and causes them to buy things that will hopefully take those fears away. This helps to prove that advertisements a lot of the time waste people’s money and are a waste of people’s time. In my own experience I have seen many examples where advertisements have been nothing but a hassle. Advertisements often arrive as an inconvenient audio and/or visual assault...

...Analysis of Bottlemania and Tapped Have you ever had to read a particular sentence or even paragraph numerous times to actually understand its meaning? Is it hard for you to visualize certain descriptions in a book? Well, some people find it challenging to grasp strong topics in a book because it can be boring to read only words on a simple sheet of paper. Bottlemania is a great, descriptive, and resourceful book that I am convinced everyone should read at least once in his or her life. It’s overflowing with knowledge and examples of why bottled water is recently found to be poor for our economy and land. Besides the written form for educating the world, Tapped is a film that exemplifies all of the problems and horrors in the world because of the process of water bottle creation and distrubution. The movie seems to affect a greater amount of people than the book because of the visual effects as well as the soundtracks that follows. The similar aspects of Bottlemania and Tapped are that they both portray the harmful effects that bottled water does to our Earth as well as people. They also offer factual information that states how water was stolen by large corporate companies and used without the permission of the community, such as Fryeburg. Bottlemania and Tapped provide the readers with interviews that lead individuals to believe the information they are consuming comes from a reliable source. They all have a descriptive way of presenting examples of the harmful chemicals...

...county of Yoknapatawpha County. It was Faulkner's first short story published in a national magazine. Faulkner explained the reason for his choice of the title as: [The title] was an allegorical title; the meaning was, here was a woman who has had a tragedy, an irrevocable tragedy and nothing could be done about it, and I pitied her and this was a salute ... to a woman you would hand a rose. The story is told in nonlinear narrative and begins at the huge funeral for Miss Emily Grierson. Nobody has been to her house in ten years, except for her black servant. Her house is old, but was once the best house around. The town had a special relationship with Miss Emily ever since it decided to stop billing her for taxes in 1894. But, the "newer generation" wasn't happy with this arrangement, and so they paid a visit to Miss Emily and tried to get her to pay the debt. She refused to acknowledge that the old arrangement might not work anymore, and flatly refused to pay. Thirty years before, the tax collecting townspeople had a strange encounter with Miss Emily about a bad smell at her place. This was about two years after her father died, and a short time after her lover disappeared from her life. Anyhow, the stink got stronger and complaints were made, but the authorities didn't want to confront Emily about the problem. So, they sprinkled lime around the house and the smell was eventually gone. Everybody...
