    Blackrock Essay

    • 2399 Words
    • 10 Pages

    Blackrock by Nick Enright is a drama piece constructed to challenge dominant social ideology of twentieth century Australian youth. The text presents a very critical attitude towards Australian society in particular the notion of mateship is criticised and exposed in a negative light, as are the justifications, and outcomes of youth independence, and the marginalisation of females. Blackrock, being inspired/based on a the real-life rape and murder of schoolgirl Leigh Leigh (in Stockton, near Newcastle, Australia on 3 November 1989), provides powerful, direct, criticism of dominant Australian (male) youth culture, and highlights how seemingly harmless attitudes and ideologies can lead to the most severe loss, loss of life. Many aspects of Australian cultural identity are presented in the drama piece including emphasis on physical as opposed to mental achievement, and the concept of mateship, the role of violence , classless illusion, and the fair go, each representation encouraging the reader to question the overall moral righteousness, logicality, and rationality of Australian society. To present these ideas and connotations dramatic conventions are employed - characters, dialogue, stage directions, non-verbal elements, symbolism, plot, and setting. The writer uses Blackrock as a representation of Australian society, and through his creation of realistic characters enables the teenage audience to easily identify with the themes and ideas. Enright suggest the flawed values of mateship, marginalisation of women and youth independence present within Australian culture are detrimental to those that subscribe to these beliefs and behaviours.…

    Iran has had a turbulent history not just its recent past. From a democracy in the 1950s, Iran seems to have moved backwards, from an authoritarian regime that overthrew the democratic one, to a religious fundamentalist regime toppling the authoritarian one and taking an anti-West stance. The brutal war through the 1980s against Iraq where over 1 million people died has left deep and lasting political and ethnic scars between the two countries. More recently, Iran was described as being part of an “axis of evil” by US President George Bush, as part of his “war on terror.” The US has also accused Iran of pursuing the development of nuclear weapons, while Iran says it is only pursuing peaceful development. The resistance of iran…

    China's National Interests

    Taiwan continues to be a contentious issue for the Chinese government. Despite Taiwan having recognised sovereignty by 23 states, the PRC refuses to grant such recognition in the interests of the One China policy. The PRC remains vigilant in disallowing Taiwan’s secession from the mainland. The island receives special treatment by US through aid, billions in defence funding, and the promise of military actions as dictated by the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act. The PRC’s response to this has been the tactic of ‘anti-access/area denial’. If Taiwan were to attempt formal secession, it would incur a pre-emptive strike which would slow down US tactical movements. The PRC enacted the 2005 Anti-secessionist Act which legally requires an invasion of Taiwan if it ever attempted to secede. As well as these tactics, the PRC has used ‘soft power’ in order…

    The fall of Saddam Hussein’s rule in 2003 saw a shift in the Iraq political situation. Fostered by the U.S. intervention, the Sunni, who were the minority and in power lost it to the majority Shia. Many leaders in the Middle East expressed their worry over the increasing influence of the Shia in Iraq (Nasr, 2006). Following this, Iran, primarily a Shiite country began to suggest a foreign policy that was more aggressive in the Near East, where Iraq is located. This action by Iran caused apprehension by neighboring countries who contemplated that Iran had plans to expand its Shiite influence. Further apprehension was reinforced by the fixation that Iran has on the issue of nuclear weapons.…

    Xlala Gender Roles

    A common trend in many novels and movies, modern or not, is that the female characters are often defined by the male ones. A clear example of this can be seen in fairy tales, in which the heroic knight saves the damsel in distress; the woman in this case mainly being used as a plot device, and showcasing the brave nature of our hero. However, in Sembene's “Xala”, the female characters; Awa, Oumi, N’Goné, and Rama represent show much more, even if their own societal roles function to, again, define the male character, in this case their husband/father, El Hadji. Through their personal behaviors, dress, and interactions with others, Sembene crafts these characters to be symbolic representations of the stages of evolution Africa makes after its…
