British and Their Ethnocentric Views on The First Australians

The British ethnocentric view on the First Australians caused conflict between the two cultures by starting a war between the two. During the first contact between the two sidees, the British started creating racist assumptions about the First Australians, which would later lead to conflict. The British started calling the First Australians as savages, and called them barbarians, as they have met a new race in which the people have dark skin and live a different lifestyle. The British started to dehumanise the First Australians by calling them 'it' instead of 'they'. The First Australians are ignoring the fact that not every culture, and religion is the same as theirs, which is caused by the ethnocentrism of the British. When the British start thinking of them as savages, they will start to think that they can invade their land, and destroy the way the First Australians culture which as an end result would cause the First Australians to get violent, and create conflict.

Solo Duet Performance Julius Caesar

In act 1 scene three lines 41-130, in a stormy night, Casca meets Cassisus and explain to cassius that there have been bad omens happening lately. Casca is scared of this as he is supposed to fear the Gods, cassius who is not afraid, tells casca that these are signs that all these omens are signs from the Gods that there might be foreshadowing that something bad might happen, and Cassius says that it is to one man, that is Caesar.

This passage foreshadows the events that would lead to the decision whether Caesar shall live and reign a reign of dictatorship, or die and let the Romans live freely, as to what Cassius refers to. The significance of this is to let the readers know what is coming into aspect here. This passage was the start of the conspiracy where Cassius must make ‘wrong’s’ into ‘rights’, this is where the decision was made to include Brutus in their plan as he “sits high in all the Romans hearts”.

“CASSIUS Who's there? CASCA A Roman. CASSIUS Casca, by your voice. CASCA Your ear is good. Cassius, what night is this! CASSIUS A very pleasing night to honest men. CASCA Who ever knew the heavens menace so? CASSIUS Those that have known the earth so full of faults. For my part, I have walk'd about the streets, Submitting me unto the perilous night, And, thus unbraced, Casca, as you see, Have bared my bosom to the thunder-stone; And when the cross blue lightning seem'd to open The breast of heaven, I did present myself Even in the aim and very flash of it. CASCA But wherefore did you so much tempt the heavens? It is the part of men to fear and tremble, When the most mighty gods by tokens send Such dreadful heralds to astonish us. CASSIUS You are dull, Casca, and those sparks of life That should be in a Roman you do want, Or else you use not. You look pale and gaze And put on fear and cast yourself in wonder, To see the strange impatience of the heavens: But if you would consider the true cause Why all these fires, why all these gliding ghosts, Why birds and beasts from quality and kind, Why old men fool and children calculate, Why all these things change from their ordinance Their natures and preformed faculties To monstrous quality,--why, you shall find That heaven hath infused them with these spirits, To make them instruments of fear and warning Unto some monstrous state. Now could I, Casca, name to thee a man Most like this dreadful night, That thunders, lightens, opens graves, and roars As doth the lion in the Capitol, A man no mightier than thyself or me In personal action, yet prodigious grown And fearful, as these strange eruptions are. CASCA 'Tis Caesar that you mean; is it not, Cassius? CASSIUS Let it be who it is: for Romans now Have thews and limbs like to their ancestors; But, woe the while! our fathers' minds are dead, And we are govern'd with our mothers' spirits; Our yoke and sufferance show us womanish. CASCA Indeed, they say the senators tomorrow Mean to establish Caesar as a king; And he shall wear his crown by sea and land, In every place, save here in Italy. CASSIUS I know where I will wear this dagger then; Cassius from bondage will deliver Cassius: Therein, ye gods, you make the weak most strong; Therein, ye gods, you tyrants do defeat: Nor stony tower, nor walls of beaten brass, Nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of iron, Can be retentive to the strength of spirit; But life, being weary of these worldly bars, Never lacks power to dismiss itself. If I know this, know all the world besides, That part of tyranny that I do bear I can shake off at pleasure. Thunder still CASCA So can I: So every bondman in his own hand bears The power to cancel his captivity. CASSIUS And why should Caesar be a tyrant then? Poor man! I know he would not be a wolf, But that he sees the Romans are but sheep: He were no lion, were not Romans hinds. Those that with haste will make a mighty fire Begin it with weak straws: what trash is Rome, What rubbish and what offal, when it serves For the base matter to illuminate So vile a thing as Caesar! But, O grief, Where hast thou led me? I perhaps speak this Before a willing bondman; then I know My answer must be made. But I am arm'd, And dangers are to me indifferent. CASCA You speak to Casca, and to such a man That is no fleering tell-tale. Hold, my hand: Be factious for redress of all these griefs, And I will set this foot of mine as far As who goes farthest. CASSIUS There's a bargain made. Now know you, Casca, I have moved already Some certain of the noblest-minded Romans To undergo with me an enterprise Of honourable-dangerous consequence; And I do know, by this, they stay for me In Pompey's porch: for now, this fearful night, There is no stir or walking in the streets; And the complexion of the element In favour's like the work we have in hand, Most bloody, fiery, and most terrible. CASCA Stand close awhile, for here comes one in haste”-( http://www.shakespeare-literature.com/Julius_Caesar/3.html)

Learning Profiles

I learn best when moving around the classroom, and by viewing the big picture instead of focusing on the little details in the picture. Also I focus on the whole part of a situation, like what happened, instead of focusing on the little details of the situation. I need to move while receiving data mentally, with minimal auditory charge. I need quiet time alone, to create new ideas, and I especially need quiet time alone when under stress to relax and regain control of my systems. Some of the strategies the would help me in my learning would be to sit at the back of the class so when I feel that I need to get up to process the data that the teacher is saying properly, I would get up and walk around the back of the classroom without disturbing anyone else. I would like my teachers to know that I am better at performing, anything verbally instead of writing down, I get stressed when I have to write an answer down on a paper when I know the answer in my head, when I find it easier for me to say it.

Art Reflecting Society In the Renaissance

On January 16th, 1632 a body was dissected by Dr. Nicolaes Tulp. It was painted, and was called “The Anatomy Lesson of Dr Nicolaes Tulp”, an oil painting on canvas. This painting was created by a man called Rembrandt. This painting was a reflection to society, by telling us that people in the Renaissance were eager to learn more about life, and the human body. In the painting you can see people in the background observing the body. There are even a few people in the background taking notes on what is happening in that time. This painting tells us that there were many people interested in finding facts about life. They did this to fulfil their knowledge about living figures, and its surroundings. Doctor Tulp broke the rules of the church, as these surgeons were only aloud one dissection a year, and that only of an animal. People in the Renaissance were very confident in themselves to find out new things about the world, including, the life forms living in it, and the people, would even break certain rules to do so.

The Driving Forces of The Renaissance

The rediscovery of ancient knowledge was an important driving force. It not only created the Renaissance, but kept it going as well. The scholars found out more about the past, and wanted to add on the knowledge. The scholars were curious about the world, so the scholars went to travel the oceans to find answers, thus creating trade routes. By traveling the oceans, they created new technology as they found out more information about the world.

I Believe

Happiness, a feeling, that makes us feel joy inside us. A feeling that makes us feel we can do anything in the world, but… there are many ways to retrieve happiness. Many people say that money can’t buy happiness, well I say “Why not”. If you buy something that makes you smile, for example a comedy movie, and you laugh at the movie that brings you happiness.
An old man and his wife are losing their dear son. He is in the hospital. He suffered from cancer, but the parents payed a lot of money to the hospital to cure their son. So in the end the child wakes up and the family is able to see their son again, through the great workmanship of the doctors, but this all had to be payed for. So in the end the mother and father of the child were so happy. The fine facilities and technology used to cure their beloved son were all through money. What brought this family back together, to let their son see the light of day again, to let him live, and lead an extraordinary life, was afforded it. These people had the money to cure their son of a disastrous disease, thus giving money to the hospital, to making them try their hardest into fixing their son, resulting into happiness for the family, as their son was finally cured.
On the Malaysian holiday, Hari Raya, my dad, my brothers, my uncles, and I, go to the mosque to pray. After praying, when walking to our car we see beggars who are begging for food, some of these beggars have no legs, no family; some are even children, who are alone. So my father, when he sees this he will give money to them and after that, the beggars will buy themselves food, in order to make them happy.
When we were in Penang, we were staying in a great hotel, with a pool and a water slide. So we went out to eat Nasi Malayu which just means Malay food, this restaurant which has Nasi Melayu is not a five star restaurant with air condition or fine marble tables. So we eat the delicious food, and my dad spots a poor person who has no money or home, who is probably starving standing outside the restaurant begging for some food. So my dad, being as kind as he is, buys that poor old man food, and not standard food, my dad buys him a mountain full of rice and put on gravy like that mountain of rice is having an avalanche. That beggar is so grateful to my dad, and is happy that my dad had bought the food for him.
Money can by happiness to a certain extent. Sometimes money can be a little pain but it still can by you happiness, but will be a pain if you abuse using the money buying things that make you happy but are illegal. So finally I believe that money can buy happiness.
To a certain extent!!

Boy in Striped Pajamas

An individual should stand up for themselves when he/she is being accused for something they didn’t do, but people are afraid to do this as the consequence might be death, or being tortured. It might benefit the individual by making other bystanders join the individual and start asking questions until there is a group of bystanders to force the people who are threatening to stop what they are doing. For instance the Jews were scared to stand up to the Nazi’s as they were afraid of the Nazi’s reign and power, they knew that they could stand up, and new this was wrong, but if one of the Jews had enough courage to stand up for the rest and say this was wrong, the others might find the strength to stand up too, and force the Nazi’s to stop what they are doing. You shouldn't accept the situation that you are in. You should ask questions, and start asking the Nazi's, why? Why are they doing this to us. We are all human. We should not be accused for something we did not do. We should fight back. These are questions and statements that people, during the holocaust should ask. Eventually, people will start catching on, and start to force the Nazi's to stop this madness.

Choir: The Power of The Void

The International School of Kuala Lumpur provides (Silence) an exceptional education that challenges each student to develop the attitudes, skills, knowledge and understanding to become a highly successful, spirited, socially responsible global citizen.

I chose to put the 'silence' after "provides" because it would leave the reader thinking "what does ISKL provide"?. "is it good or bad"?.

Today I saw an amazing video on breakin frozen seas it is a guy called Matt dancing around the world. That video made me smile, so I went on and clicked the link to Matt's website where i saw why he dance and how.

He started off dancong for fun. But then his friends saw the video, and the video spread, not long after over a million viewers saw it, and Matt got offered a sponsership to keep going on. He made 2 videos. Many People wanted to join him in dancing and they did. Matt dances in a very bad way but thats the whole point to 'connect' people. And he did. soon many people started dancing with him and he was also laughing at some people sincce the people were freely dancing too.

The picture above is very dull but in a way theman look like he is dancing joyfully into the night without any sorrow and it has colours that show many moods.

Compliment Guys

It’ nice to see how ordinary people can create such a huge impact on your day, making you smile and feel good about our self. Just like the video on Breaking Frozen Seas how two guys compliment people as they pass and making them feel refreshed and smile, knowing there are people out there who want to start small and create something big that will spread and eventually create peace amongst others. Even as I watched the video I was starting to smile. These guys love making people happy and they don’t get anything out of it just knowing that you have made someone happier and brightening their day.

Just like the guys in the above picture giving free hugs, to start out small and eventually it will grow bigger and bigger but most of all putting a smile on your face and knowing there is someone out there who will create peace.

My title of journey and faith, this quote has a many meaning. This quote tells is that no matter what journey you will have you will always have faith as your companion. Faith is always by your side and it’s there to help you. Faith Is also calming to the person on this journey it ‘refreshes’ you because you know that faith is there by your side and in your time of need, it would be there, it shows us how there is a journey to human life and how faith is in help.
The picture shows s a man having a journey of faith. How faith is probably there as his friend. I like this one because it shows how someone is going on a journey. A journey of faith.

Seventh Grade Teachers Feedback

Seventh grade is near and we are leaving sixth grade where it all began. Seventh grade I bet will be much greater but here is some feed back for you seventh grade teachers to learn more about me and my work and my personalities. Something I am very proud of I the part I have in Drama at the moment because I love to act I have a great stage voice and a very dramatic person I love to act and just get up in front of people. When I am up on he stage I love to express my self. One of the greatest challenge I had was Malaysia Week because I am not fit and when we went trekking it was very hard to push my self to the limit but I did and managed to do so. I am very organized in my lockers but not in my behaviors though but still I am like a neat freak I love being organized and being totally clean especially in space and lockers I am a hero of cleanliness. In Grade seven I plan to be more focused in class and get the job done in time for the next one. My second goal is to do my homework on the day itself. I love to do many physical activities and I love making people laugh I also Love to have fun in life and go out and have fun I also love to act and sing because I have a really loud voice.

Save the World

Mother Nature is dieing because of its worse enemy, the humans. That’s right you heard me, we are the enemies of mother nature, we are the ones who are killing nature and causing destruction to cause global warming, WE are the ones who don’t think twice about cutting down a tree and we are the ones who never ever think about thinking twice about throwing away plastic. We can do so much things to prevent pollution and global warming but no one is thinking about it. We should start small and then go on to big things but first for us the people who really do want to save Earth should just remind themselves how wasting water could affect lives. There are people out there who are dehydrated to death people who seek medical attention because of starvation. But here you get water and are living the life of luxury, if you have a house, a car, clean clothes, and food you shouldn’t say your poor because you should think of those people out there who are starving for food because of global warming, hurricanes, typhoons but we are here wasting water, food and littering. Some countries have even are clean because they have a law about littering and you can be fined just throwing a candy wrapper on the streets. But even if there is no law on that here you still shouldn’t throw it in the bin you should reused it or recycle it at least but throwing it away is just horrible, atrocious, and just plain littering there are people out there who actually care about Earth and want to live for a long time and helping in many ways but there are those who think that littering doesn’t cause damage to the society but it does if you’re the one who’s littering just start out small by reusing plastic bottles or try not to even use them or just by a non-plastic one and use it all day. But if you are the one who is helping Mother Nature then I say thank you so much for helping the Earth, the people, yourself and me.

Remember to Reduce, reuse, recycle are the things that we need to do to save Mother Nature.

Malaysia Week Experiance

Crossing The Bridge

I chose these words because this are the things that are most important to me because these are the things that started to change me. My time in middle school goes around these words. Here, I didn't know I was going to go to my locker putting combination on a lock and opening a locker. Time flies ever since shifting from elementary, I mean it has only been 5 months and it feel like 2 months. So much homework in school which means stress. middle school is like a bridge but not any type of bridge it is a bridge leading toward great height and when I say heights I mean High School!!

Start Caring!!!!!

Start caring for the animals of the world. Yesterday I saw a power point on the SPCA it was just heart braking to see what sort of people would do to the harmless animal. I mean eyes lost, hacked of legs dogs and cats whipped, chained, caned. Only 25% of the animals get adopted but 75% get put to sleep because the SPCA don't have any space in their building. After seeing the presentation I was thinking what can I do? So then it hit me! Do you care about cute animals or just plain animals go to the SPCA and adopt if you want a pet don't buy one adopt one. Treat animals the way you want to be treated and that way is the best you possibly can.
