REMEMBER THE TITANS
RE: proposed new east-west toll road
To: Premier Denis Napthine
Dear premier,
I am writing to you because of this new toll road.
I with thousands of other adamant people urge you not to destroy almost over a hundred homes and diminish our beautiful bush lands in Royal Park, just to make way for an $8 billion toll road.
It is no coincidence that the liberal party has caused havoc all over Victoria as the $1.5 billion Myki project is a complete bust, and as the disastrous desalination plant was a failure.
At school we got taught how to debate and last year I was debating against the east west toll road. With my school we went to parliament house as for our inquiry unit, and I was fortunate enough to shake your hand and I respect our leaders.
It is obvious that if you build this east west toll road you will have such a bad reputation, that when time comes to the re-election you will be in danger of not being re-elected and also going on with that topic pry to the last election your party promised that you would build the Doncaster rail. You would leave a greater legacy if you would commit, as promised building the Doncaster Rail Project.
I just don’t get it; so many children grow up learning to always keep their promises and as the premier of Victoria you’ve broken one. Great cities have great public transport and parklands. If you build this toll road you will jeopardize Melbourne’s high livable status.
I hope as from a thirteen year olds perspective that you change your mind.
Yours sincerely,
James Iakovidis, 13 year old student

    How Did The Fall Of The Trans-Canada Highway

    The plan was for the highway to run through all ten provinces, so without all ten Provinces agreeing the project could not be done. The Provincial governments were saying that it was going to cost too much and the project would take too long. They continued to talk and work out their agreements and then the Federal government decided to increase their share so the provincial governments would become more interested. In the end they agreed on each province being responsible for 50% of the total costs of the part of the highway that was in their province with the Federal government paying the rest. . Along with this, Prime Minister John Diefenbaker agreed to have the federal government pay for all of the costs of the parts of the highway that would have to go…

    Reality vs Film (Remember the Titans Movie)

    Remember the Titans, directed by Boaz Yakin and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, centers around the American football team of the newly integrated T.C Williams High School in Alexandria (Virginia), in the early 1970s. The Caucasian head coach of the football team (the Titans) is replaced by an African American coach from North Carolina. Tensions arise when players of different races are forced together on the same football team. Many of these tensions however, are somewhat eased during the two-week training camp. When all the players return, they find the city in turmoil due to the forced de-segregation of schools. As the season progresses, the team’s successes causes the community to accept the changes and become much closer than ever. This film is based on a true story, although events in the film are largely exaggerated, some of these examples being the initiating racial tensions within the team as well as the level of opposition that the team faced.…

    I am writing you this letter to inform you of a gigantic dilemma we as human beings living on earth have to face. Bridger Teton one of the most beautiful places on earth, untouched by man and wild in nature is at risk of complete destruction. Now I know what you are thinking complete destruction how is this possible? Humans that is how, there is a movement to turn that land into spots for drilling and mining oils and other natural resources that if we act upon will bring upon the destruction of one of the country’s last true eco systems. The wild animals that roam, hunt, and live there are at risk as well as all the vegetative life. If you look at the four steps of environmental risk assessment you will find that in no way we should develop on this land to acquire natural resources. There is just too much to lose, how can we bring it to ourselves to destroy such a beautiful and untouched piece of nature when there are…

    Future Tolling Right

    1) Future tolling rights are legal claims to collect charge from public levied for passage along a particular road, highway, or bridge, at a later time (Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary). Future tolling rights of the M7 toll-road are BrisConnections’ intangible assets. The road is a public-private partnership with the Queensland government (Wikipedia), in which private companies build the roads and are given a limited franchise. When the franchise expires, ownership is transferred to the government. BrisConnections’ annual report showed that future tolling rights is provided by the government through the concession deed. This is an agreement which concedes the use of the road to the project company for a specified period, signed by the entity established by the State in relation to the design and construction.…

    The theme of this movie is that we should treat everyone with equal respect, regardless of their skin color or race, sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity, or religion. We should accept everyone for who they are, rather than trying to change them. It also shows the integration of a racist America into a culturally accepting society with the help of a teacher/coach.…

    Remember the Titans

    There is no doubt that Remember the Titans is chalked full of moments of triumph and despair. Coach Boone is constantly a source of leadership for his players and eventually the entire community. There are many times when power come into play both on and off the field. Some examples of this power that is demonstrated in the movie are referent power, coercive power, need for power (both personalized and socialized), legitimate power and reward power. These leadership concepts are constant through the movie as well as in specific clips.…

    Remember the Titans

    Healthy relationships are made not born, and the movie “Remember the Titans” has proven that. A healthy relationship is a relationship which has respect, honesty, trust, communication, equality and acceptance for who the other person or people may be. On the other hand, an unhealthy relationship is a relationship which has selfish, abusive, irresponsible, aggressive and manipulative behavior. I will be discussing how the relationship of Gerry Bertier and Julius Campbell transformed from an unhealthy relationship to a healthy relationship. As well as a theme from the movie that is equality.…

    “This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.” This quote was borrowed from Franklin Delano Roosevelt describing “the Greatest Generation” found in “The Time of Their Lives,” written by Tom Brokaw (Brokaw, 1998). Roosevelt must have foreseen the future before speaking that comment about that generation of America since they won World War Two. However they shall take a look at two authors that certainly have a difference of opinions on the rendezvous that Roosevelt mentioned so many years ago.…
