    Refugees, Migrants and the fear of the un-"Australian"

    No, but I think we should offer tax breaks for companies who keep jobs onshore.

    Thanks for that Izzy! I have a few more questions that don't exactly relate to this thread. I'll send you a message :)

    Refugees, Migrants and the fear of the un-"Australian"

    No, you're misinterpreting me. This whole thread is about refugees migrants and 'un' Australian. I'm saying that migrants, whether residents or citizens, are just as Australian as those who were born in Australia and have every right to work. The nature of the this thread is so, that is creates...

    Merit Grade Distribution Changes

    Can you please explain to me how the new one works? :O I thought if you get over 75 you get first class honours still? What will the new system do?

    Refugees, Migrants and the fear of the un-"Australian"

    I didn't say 'exclusive'? lol. How is that racist?

    Refugees, Migrants and the fear of the un-"Australian"

    I agree. Australian jobs for Australians, inclusive of migrants.

    Scholarship to go on exchange during holidays?

    GO ON THE EXCHANGE OR YOU'LL REGRET IT! It'll be an amazing experience and when you're applying for scholarships they want to see something unique and individual. Tell them this and you've got them. Also as you've said in your signature you're considering Oxford/Cambridge Law, once again - this...

    My ranks

    Don't let anyone tell you what you can't do. You can get over 90 if you put your mind to it and work hard. Don't listen to people who say you can't get there.

    creative writing..

    Teachers probably have the bloody Excel guide themselves, so don't even bother. But what's worse in hindsight, getting a zero for plagerising or getting an 8/15? At least you know at the end of the day you've tried your best. Also, you do know that at the marking centre they have...

    WRIT Subjects

    I did WRIT1002 this semester. It was interesting and a great way to start uni and learn how to write academically. It's easy to get great marks in, but you don't really learn much. I highly recommend PHIL2642 - Critical Thinking, it's a senior unit with no prerequisites but 12 junior credit...

    Comm/Law Bonus Points

    AAA, EAS or Elite Athlete. There may be more, look it up on their website. But you have to understand that UNSW has a generous transfer program, so if you enroll in BComm and get a distinction average in your first year, you should be able to achieve an easy transfer.

    Arts/Law at SydneyUni

    Hey Alliese! You can do 2 majors with Arts/Law, just make sure you know exactly what you want to major in (I chose Government & International Relations and Philosophy). In 1st year, with Foundations you have to do 3 Arts subjects. Do 2 junior units for 1 subject (which will make you eligble to...

    Do you believe in God?

    Your first point makes no sense whatsoever, it's just a bunch of confusing words put together, try again. Epistemology requires faith. It requires faith that ontology is correct. The same applies for scientific conclusions and the scientific method, which is epistemology, but requires a...

    Do you believe in God?

    Yes, that was a fascinating documentary, watched it a while back now. I highly recommend Antony Flew's books. Antony Flew occupied Richard Dawkin's position as the world's most famous atheist, until his conversion. Nevertheless, the books he wrote whilst he was an atheist were fascinating. I...

    Do you believe in God?

    No philosophical or scientific conclusions are derived from previous discoveries and arguments, and if the big bang theory was truly and original scientific conclusion, its just that, a theory with no proof or substance, other than faith in a presupposed dogma, and reason. Since questioning...
