Hey,

I have to enter the National History Challenge and also hand in my work as a school assesment aswell. I was just wondering if anyone else here is entering/could help me with my entry.

Since it is also a school assesment out teachers made us do a Research Essay and the theme is "Lessons From The Past" which must be based on the time period after WWI.

And we can choose from the following:
- Freedom Rides
- Whitlam dismissal
- One nation
- Television
- 1970's boat people
- Women in parliament
- Australia's role in the UN
- Policies towards aboriginies
- 1967 Referndum
- The Korean war
- SEATO
- Moratorium movement
- Popular culture
- Green bans
- Republicanism
- An Australian Prime Minister since WWII
- Internet
- Multiculturalism
- Migration
- Equal pay for women
- Women's movement
- Land rights
- ANZUS
- Refernedum to ban Communist party
- Australian's involvemnt in the VIetnam War

So Yeah I was just wondering if anybody could help me, especially with the theme "Lessons From the Past" I interpreate it as.....like I really don't know.

Oh and the website for the challenge is:

Yeah, my teachers are making me do it too. But we were forced to do a certain topic, I had to do an essay about Aboriginals. So what they meant by "lessons from the past" was what did Australia learn from the past basically. Are we following a different road? Or are we still dwelling and repeating history? Basically those kind of things. And also, what did Australia LEARN from that experince, however bad or good it was. For example, the Aboriginals. We learnt that to accept other races and NO, we're not following the mistakes of the past. We've become multicultrual. Things like that need to be taken into account for that essay.

It looks like it's over now; or so says the site.

So Yeah I was just wondering if anybody could help me, especially with the theme "Lessons From the Past" I interpreate it as.....like I really don't know.

Interpret it however you wish.
I personally interpret it awfully literal.
