Ah, but could this not be a simplistic interpretation and definition of what exactly the "global" is? Isn't it possible that the "global" is also in some ways a conglomeration of a multitude of "local" identities? If this is the case then it is important that the "local" and all of its heritage...

I can't believe that most of you guys don't get Heaney. It is so easy to relate his poems to all of the elements of retreat from the global. You have to consider a lot of his work as holding metaphorical value in order to do this. To be honest, Heaney was the easiest of all my texts that I...

Ok, this is kind of embarassing but ever since I started this thread I never read any replies past page one because I got so caught up in studying for the HSC. I really don't want to read through all of the replies so can anyone please bring me up to date on what this apparent argument is about...

I didn't mean to say that the subject is excessively challenging. I do realise now that my description did sound like that. What I meant is that it is a subject that involves a fair bit of thinking and one which covers a large scope. It's not one of those subjects I think that you can take...

What I found with this subject is that if you understand most of the work it can be one of the most stimulating, thought provoking, and worthwhile subjects you can do. However what I also found was that to get to the point where you get to feel about economics in the way I just described...

I have four more exams!!!!

I don't want to sound at all like I'm bragging or anything but compared to other years' papers that was one of the easiest general maths papers ever. So now my only concern is that it is a bit suspicious that the questions were so simple and straightforward. So I think there are two...

I haven't posted on here for a while so I thought that I would just say hi. I don't see the harm in it. Lol. Good luck to everyone with their exams. Extension History is my last exam actually, how ironic lol!

I got 29/30 for my Major Prjoject! So I was thrilled also because it was the first in the class. I also came first in the trials so I'm way ahead of everyone else. So I'm really happy!!!!

Anyway Silverstone, having given this some more thought throughout the course of today (God knows why) I thought that perhaps Scott was making a point. He might be making a comment and criticising the fact that Hillary Duff is largely now a sex symbol and attracts a range of ADULT attention...

Going back to Glycerine's point, yes the age of consent is 16, however! that means that that person can have sex with others over 16 and under 18. If an 18year old guy has sex with a 16 year old, despite the fact that she may have consented to it, he can still be held accountable for intercourse...

I don't think silicone even existed when Marilyn was around. She was the real deal. She only ever had surger to make her nose smaller and smooth and round her chin. She hever had liposuction or any implants. She was the real deal. Elton John put it right when he sang "they put you on a...

Yes, well my list was only the beginning. Who knows what other crushes and obsessions are lurking beneath your spiky haired mind. I was wondering why you brought up that illegal sex song in the first place..........................................

Marilyn wasn't only all these things, she also had a soul that was crushed and that makes her special. Anyway, I've only got one crush. Need I remind you of all the people and movies you have had obsesssions with: (in no particular order): Nicole Kidman Norah Jones Winona Ryder Chicago...

Honey, you have a crush on anything that walks, talks, doesn't eat, has limited acting ability, wears a tonne of make - up, never lifts a finger, wears a napkin as an outfit, has big hair and is subsequently known as a Hollywood A - lister.

I know what you mean! Like, what is up with that song. It inadvertently promotes illegal underage sex with minors........................wait, I'm starting to like this song.

You must remember that Seneca and Burrus are significant in the study of Agrippina the Younger for many reasons. Firstly, Seneca was a proficient and well known and admired scholar in Ancient Rome. He actually tutored Nero. It is therefore considered by many historians that it was largely...

Ok, guys! I've got to more quotes, both made originally by JFK. "We would like to live as we once lived, but history will not permit it" "History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside"

I set myself a challenge and went through some books at school during a study period and I found these, hope you guys like them! "History is the witness that testifies to the passing of time; it illuminates reality; vitalizes memory, provides guidance in daily life and brings us tidings of...

We still have about three quarters of our last topic (Augustus and the Julio Claudians) to go and our teacher has pretty much set it up so that we touch ourselves the unit seeing that we're only at school for two more weeks technically and some people have already left and won't come back to the...
