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...
