How does Ethnocentricity cause conflict?

The English had an Ethnocentric view of the first australians and as a result conflict emerged from what seemed to be the first impressions of a peaceful relationship. The english based their conclusions of the First Australians being savage on their own cultural standards and as a result they perceived them of being "sub-human". One of the people that influenced the first encounters of both the Australians and British was Bennelong, a great leader of a tribe who was kidnapped by British people. When he died his obituary was included in the paper, and it was quite negative because he had connected with his own tribe and discarded his british lifestyle to reconnect with his roots. In the Video "The First Australians" the Aborigional's thought that the british were ghosts because of they're white skin tones and because of they were wearing clothes, so the Aboriginals were also ethnocentric towards the british so this conflict created was entirely not the British's fault. Also in the movie it told of another way that conflict started and it was that when the british were exploring australia they discovered the Aboriginals had planted crops on the most fertile ground, near the river. The British ignored the Aboriginals needs and planted their own crops simply out of ignorance of the First Australians. The Main cause of this conflict was because how to british treated the Australians, like savages. The Australians were treated like savages because of their culture. They were treated like savages because they often didn't wear clothes and the british had a stereotype of people not wearing clothes, that they were stupid and weren't as valued as the british people, hence they treated them like animals.

Hi, My name is Nick flynn and I have been a student at ISKL since 4th grade

My Hobbies are PLayign soccer and Rugby. I also like playing Basketball.

My shakespeare Duet with Wen Cheng

For my duet I chose to use the lines 31-75

Me and Wen cheng chose this passage because it sets the whole conflict of the play and gives the reader/audience a sneak preveiw of what is to look forward to in the play. I think it gives an isight into the conflict of the story because it is right at the beginning and it introduces the idea of mutiny and conspiracy to the reader/audience.

This is Murellus talking to Flavius and a crowd of people telling them of how they are fickle and how Himself and Flavius can sabotage Caesar's arrival.

"MARULLUS

Wherefore rejoice? What conquest brings he home?
What tributaries follow him to Rome,
To grace in captive bonds his chariot-wheels?
You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things!
O you hard hearts, you cruel men of Rome,
Knew you not Pompey? Many a time and oft
Have you climb'd up to walls and battlements,
To towers and windows, yea, to chimney-tops,
Your infants in your arms, and there have sat
The livelong day, with patient expectation,
To see great Pompey pass the streets of Rome:
And when you saw his chariot but appear,
Have you not made an universal shout,
That Tiber trembled underneath her banks,
To hear the replication of your sounds
Made in her concave shores?
And do you now put on your best attire?
And do you now cull out a holiday?
And do you now strew flowers in his way
That comes in triumph over Pompey's blood? Be gone!
Run to your houses, fall upon your knees,
Pray to the gods to intermit the plague
That needs must light on this ingratitude.

FLAVIUS

Go, go, good countrymen, and, for this fault,
Assemble all the poor men of your sort;
Draw them to Tiber banks, and weep your tears
Into the channel, till the lowest stream
Do kiss the most exalted shores of all.

Exeunt all the Commoners
See whether their basest metal be not moved;
They vanish tongue-tied in their guiltiness.
Go you down that way towards the Capitol;

This way will I

disrobe the images,
If you do find them deck'd with ceremonies.

MARULLUS

May we do so?
You know it is the feast of Lupercal.

FLAVIUS

It is no matter; let no images
Be hung with Caesar's trophies. I'll about,
And drive away the vulgar from the streets:
So do you too, where you perceive them thick.
These growing feathers pluck'd from Caesar's wing
Will make him fly an ordinary pitch,
Who else would soar above the view of men
And keep us all in servile fearfulness. "

Act 1, Scene 1 line 31-75

My Learning Profile

A few days ago Mr. Whiting Introduced me to learning profiles. A learning Profile is a description or type of learner you are and it can help you to maximize your learning needs if you read the booklet to use it to your advantage.

While reading the booklet I found out that I learn best when I use a lot of movement during class to help me learn best and help me focus more, I also learned that I am a gestalt learner and i need to have a lot of Visuals while concentrating to help me remember and focus on my work.

The strategy's that help me in my learning are if I Read aloud and do things that cross both sides of my brain like writing knitting and drawing with my left hand and if I massage my temporal mandibular joint. The reason that crossing over both sides of my brain is good for my learning is because it helps activate both sides of my brain and lets me focus on the task at hand more.

I would like my teacher to know that I prefer to Imagine that end result like maybe seeing a finished example of the piece of work that we are focussing on instead of doing what we usually do by having a step by step instructions regarding the piece of work.
