    Small textbiook contradiction, or misunderstanding?

    Ok, so we're aware that King chose when and where Sparta goes to war. Correct? Any violation of this is outlawry. So, my textbook also has it that the Ekklesia is responsible for making descisions on peace and war. I don't get it, isn't the King's authority absolute in the matter of war? Why...

    Hamlet - loyalty WTF???

    I did a reading (shiiit?) as Hamlet the Hero. Yeah, so I got it off wikipedia, but I did my own study for it too, so I'm not a lazy shit. Basically, I incorporated the idea of duty (to Denmark, to the Ancient Hero) as loyalty to those same focuses. I also incorporated the idea of Life/Death...

    Is smacking a child ever acceptable?

    So if smacking is wrong and we can't expect (lol) all parents to teach their children values, what do you expect those parents (lol) to do? What options are out there? Council the child at a young age? Call the coppahs? Also ITT: Liberty for those who don't understand the concept of it. (yes...

    Is smacking a child ever acceptable?

    That doesn't really apply unless the kid's got anger issues. Why? Because by the time the child is interacting with other children they should understand what is acceptable and what isn't. If not, then the parent hasn't been taking full responsibility of the child's upbringing. Also, the...

    Is smacking a child ever acceptable?

    I think that smacking should be at the discretion of the parent. I myself was smacked as a young child and I believe that it instilled good behaviour in me. Smacking certainly isn't a last resort. Theres the spoon, which I've taken before. And the belt, which I've taken once only. While...

    HSC '09- the most paranoid year.

    Time was my problem too, I hadn't even though about "Disruption" as an idea, so I had to think on the go, and Identity was something I had done only a little on. (Frank/Blade Runner) So yeah, time became a real issue for me, in the end it was my Module C that suffered (Ted Hughes). My...

    Related Text: The Terminal (Movie)

    Ok so, a few weeks back I chose to do The Terminal for the HSC. I'm planning one aspect to be "Belonging can be found in unexpected places." If you've seen The Terminal, you'll know the Viktor doesn't belong in America, by the time he leaves the airport he finds he is capable of belonging in...

    Memorising for Trials

    General Essay!? Thats suicide. If they can't see any detailed knowledge of the text (and don't just story tell, thats just as bad) they will murder your marks. Like I said before, but with a slight change; unless your going to correctly memorising a response to at least 75% of the questions...

    english - comparing poets essay

    IMO, you could probably just ignore that first sentence. The most sentence is the second one. Since you've studied TH/SP you'd know that there was a sort of bitter arguement throughout their poems. I can see this question asking you to use Whiteness I Remember vs Sam to show that the 'words...

    Xerxes Question

    Ok, so my Antiquity 2 txtbook says that "The palaces were not permanent residences but were visited by the king on his journeys around his kingdom." Page is 252 for those who want to have a look if they got the book. Am I misinterpretting this? The previous lines talk about all 4 captial...

    Memorising for Trials

    IMO you shouldn't memorise your entire essays. Why? Stress is probable, overworking when you probably wouldn't need to, Revise elsewhere? but the biggest Your probably going to just spit out that essay when you get in there. If the marker sees through your work, they probably won't like it...

    Structure

    Yes, the length could be reduced. Surely you can't complain about story-telling? It's less than one line, possibly two in a HSC booklet. I'm going to have to go, continue to criticise as you will, the more the merrier- right? I'll attempt to re-write under you suggestions tomorrow...

    Structure

    It's just one paragraph from the essay I'm working on. I just wanted to see if I'm getting my structure right. And fair enough on the techs point. So theres absolutely nothing you can see wrong with the paragraph?

    year 2100: China vs USA.

    Like you'd know. Both countries have probably got some crazy prototype war machines in development for tomorrow's war.

    Structure

    Hey guys, I just wanted to ask If you thought that this structure extended for another few paragraphs would be adequate for a decent mark. If you feel the urge to, provide feedback, or furthermore you could give me a score. Thanks in Adv.

    Should conscription be re-introduced in 21st Century Australia?

    This made me lol. If our country we're to fall to foreign invaders, do you think you'd be as free as your are now?

    Should conscription be re-introduced in 21st Century Australia?

    Hey look it's alive again. I agree with russs. Conscription can be necessary, and I think it can work. Young children just need to be taught the values of our society, if possible, so that they know when it's time to defend our country. This would almost eliminate the problem of conscription...

    I've been wrongly accused, but this mother isn't.

    Someone less cynical than myself might say the use of birth control like condoms. I'd just force her to have a surgical option. Of course, that'll never happen so. DOCs seems to be the most realistic answer. Of course, she might just constantly keep having children (I cant really back that...

    I've been wrongly accused, but this mother isn't.

    Take away the Child? Honestly, you can't just let someone like that have the child. Not only is the child in danger, but what kind of values and other things will the child pick up off the drug-abusing foul mouthing mother, who insults babies. Seriously, like the Judge said, no more babies...
