It's better to refer to 'white Australians' as Anglo-Saxon or Anglo-Celtic if you're looking at differences in culture between Middle Eastern culture and 'mainstream' Australian culture.

You definitely have to discuss the 5 pillars of Islam in your essay. 1. Faith (Shahadah -"There is no God but God, and Muhammad is his prophet") 2. Prayer - five times a day 3. Charity - Almsgiving (Zakat) 4. Fasting - Ramadan 5. Pilgrimage to Mecca (hajj) These underpin the Islamic...

Speculation = creating new worlds = an alternate to reality = an imaginative journey. So of course, speculation is crucial to the imaginative journey because it allows it to happen. The speculation furthermore allows for the individual to be self-enlightened (they love this concept...

Alice in Wonderland: * "Who in the world am I? Ah, that’s the great puzzle." * Symbolism of the forbidden garden - it is similar to the garden of Eden - an idyllic place she cannot enter until she has shed naivety and learn about herself through the journey * Text is a metaphor...

Yeah emca is right. All these journey essays ask the same thing pretty much, they just change the wording. :) So you've got to tell them what they want to hear. An imaginative journey serves to change the individual as it is in essence a form of self-enlightenment. Those who undertake this...

Everyone over thinks the imaginative journey! All you need to know/say in your essay is: The imaginative journey is one which occurs within the mind, allowing a person to visit alternate worlds. Then you go on to elaborate what this in turn allows you to do. ie - your thesis statement which...

Yeah I put all morning sessions and got all afternoon ones :(

Yeah or you could quote a little bit of the syllabus if it is particularly relevant. It looks impressive!

Doesn't have to be structured. Just start however you want. They don't spend a lot of time on the journal...just as long as they see you've done a lot of planning and research.

Don't worry. I found Advanced a lot harder than both the Extension English courses. I suppose it just depends on where your skills are because all 3 courses are very different.

Seems like a bit of a generalisation. Maybe you should make your focus question "What is the impact of consumerism on today's adolescents?" or something like that. That way you can encompass the fundamental concepts a lot better. Persons - the socialisation process and the impact of...

If you have a good teacher it helps a lot. When you finish school you'll realise just how much you've actually learnt from Society and Culture, and you can directly apply it to real life. Also been told that doing a PIP helps you greatly in uni, with all the research and such.

Just while I think about it...there's a really good book you should check out that relates to your PIP topic: Racism, Ethnicty and the Media by Andrew Jakubowicz I used it in my PIP. It might be okay for yours...it pretty much just explains how the media perpetuates certain images which may...

No problem! Awww no :( hope you remember it all. Good luck for it.

Maybe you could make your topic statement "Social Norms Manufactured by the Media" because from what I gather, that relates more to your PIP. Specific aims and goals...yeah social and cultural literacy, but also maybe you want to uncover truths about media practice and discover how and why...

I think that will work. You're lucky that you will have that first hand experience. :) Maybe have a look at the role of women and how they are portrayed in the media as well, and how this affects gender roles in society.

Clarity when writing is a must. Forget using sophisticated words if you don't know what they mean. Get to the point and back that point up. Just be clear and concise!

V for Vendetta

I'm not entirely sure if that's cross-cultural...but I have a suggestion. Why don't you make your cross-cultural comparison with another country and compare their views on schooling and home schooling with the other society (presumably Australia?)

The life changing element of the imaginative journey is evident in The Wizard of Oz. Upon slipping into a dream, Dorothy is transported to the vibrant Oz – a society which relies on a matriarchal structure. Male characters are depicted as being deceptive (the Wizard) and frivolous (Scarecrow...
