...It was now January 31st, and Sydni Kellie and Lauren hadn’t even begun to start their bridge yet. They always talked about beginning it but never followed through. Something had always come up- dance, soccer, horses. They used pictures of other peoples bridges for t when Mr. Buck checked their progress. But it had gotten to the point where they had reached desperation. It was the last minute, and all they had was a bucket filled with supplies. It was eight in the morning and Sydni and Kellie were sitting in Kellie’s car. They had 24 hours to build a bridge adequate enough to pass. Lauren suddenly banged on the car, and there was a piece of paper with writing on it. Sydni rolled down her window, and snatched the paper from Laurens grasp. “What is this?” “Good morning to you too syd.” “ya, hi. Whos number is this ?” “A tutor! His name is Andrew.“ “Ok? Thanks for the insult Lauren,but I think I can handle passing Physics by myself..,” “No syd. That’s not what she means. Lauren are you saying that this guy can build us a bridge?…” “Yes kellie!

...Australian culture is perceived as laid back, with hot summers, drinking beers and watching or participating in sports. It refers to “the values, ceremonies and way of life characteristic of a given group and the place of sport within that way of life” (Jarvie, 2006). Cricket is one of Australia’s most popular summer sport that has been around since the colonial days. It is one of the many sports that clearly identify our Australian culture with the influence from media advertisements in local newspapers to television, Foxtel, radio and internet, “it is part of the social and cultural fabric of different localities, regions and nations” (Jarvie, 2006). A case study that was conducted by Nathan Saad on the Sydney cricket ground (SCG), demonstrates the roles of understanding the significance of sport in Australian cultural identity. This ground is seen as a cultural icon for Australia’s sports such as “cricket (both test and one day matches), AFL, rugby league, rugby union fixtures” (Saad, 2011).

...AUSTRALIA – SUMMER A 2012 CITY-AS-TEXT ASSIGNMENT PART A As I embarked on my 20 hour trip to Sydney, Australia I couldn’t help but to wonder what lied ahead. I have had certain interest since I was a child in visiting this country but as many people do, I had certain preconceptions. The only thing I knew of this country was what I had seen on TV on the Discovery Chanel about the animal population; which the country is home to more than 140 species of marsupials (animals with pouches to carry their young), including koalas, wombats and the Tasmanian devil, now found only in the Tasmanian wilderness. Australia is also home to many unique animal groups thus creating in my mind a fear for both the marine life and other animals known only to reside there; and no there are no kangaroos bounding around downtown. I was also concern about the culture shock, I had this idea that Australians where more tall, light skin, blue eyes, blonde hair, but that quickly change upon my arrival ; there’s a diversity in culture (mostly Asian) and both man and women were not to tall. My idea of an open fields and small dessert like rural areas and under developed city quickly changed upon my arrival, while much of the land is grassland or desert, Sydney is a highly developed city with an economically advanced mixed economy. The city is much developed with so many places to visit like: The Sydney Opera House, Darling Harbor, which overlooks the whole city, Circular Quay and other activities that...

Medicine and law and the euthanasia debate 医学、法律与安乐死争议 Medicine and law are the main social institutions at the heart of the euthanasia debate. Where euthanasia is legalised, doctors have the problematic gate-keeping role as the arbiters of terminal illness, deciding how terminal it is, administering pain relief and treatment and ultimately, depending on the legislation adopted, prescribing or delivering terminal medication. Medicine shares this gate-keeping role with the law, which serves a regulating and restraining function, providing safeguards for both doctors and individuals. The many safeguards required in most versions of euthanasia legislation, covering issues such as the meaning of terminal illness and suffering, the patient's decision-making capacity, the interpretation of intention and coercion, the availability of alternative relief, the responsibilities of medical professionals and provision for scrutiny of doctors' decisions, underline the complexity of the issue. A strong view put forward by antieuthanasia advocates is that the very soul of medicine is placed on trial by euthanasia and that doing harm to medicine...
