The Assassination Of Pauline Hanson

This is a reputation that many believe Pauline Hanson is out to destroy. Her controversial views combined with her political power has the potential to divide Australian society, and damage our international image. Hanson believes that the government spends too much money on foreign aid and welfare, specifically Aboriginal welfare services. The problems arose when she publicallyannounced this in her maiden speech at a time of great social change; many people were recognizing that minority groups in Australia were disadvantaged despite what Australian identity would have them believe. “We now have a situation where a type of reverse racism is applied to mainstream Australians by those who promote political correctness.” It is partly true that a ‘type of reverse racism’ exists, however Hanson blows this idea out of proportion, creating controversy. While this controversy potentially aids her political campaign with widespread media coverage, it has the side effect of dividing Australian society. There will be one group of people who agree with her views and another who don’t. Instead of uniting all Australians under the same goals of multiculturalism, Hanson seemingly ‘drives a wedge’ through our society. Multiculturalism is a vulnerable thing for a country like Australia, and Hanson poses a threat to this identity with her primitive views, and her political

In a world surrounded by media, people are reliant on truthful and honest information to form accurate conceptions of current events and issues. Australia is a self-proclaimed multicultural country who aims to achieve equality and equity. However, through the analysis of the comparative text between, Stan Grant’s ‘The Australian Dream’ and Pauline Hanson’s, “Maiden Speech” it is clear that the truth is juxtaposed with the reality of the present Australia, who is still a country with racism and inequality. Despite two people stating the arguing issue, there are different perceptions of truth of who is the most vulnerable. In which Grant places great significance on the racism rooted in the Australian Dream and Hanson’s stance for non-Indigenous people inequality.

Shortly after Gordon and Freda Lindsay married in 1937, they pioneered a church in Billings, Montana. Tommy Hicks helped them build a tabernacle, where Freda served in many areas. “Gordon was preaching every night and playing the piano. I was the janitor, Sunday school superintendent, young people’s leader, and song director for those first two months. As soon as qualified persons joined our efforts, I gladly relinquished one position after another,” said Freda.

April 15, 1865 has gone down as one of the darkest hours in U.S. history, when at Ford’s Theatre, President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. When we think of Abraham Lincoln being assassinated, we usually think of John Wilkes Booth or Ford’s Theatre. How many of us would think of Mary Surratt or her boarding house? Mary Surratt owned and operated a boardinghouse where it is believed that John Wilkes Booth and others planned to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln and other high ranking government officials. She was tried and executed. How were her actions seen during her time compared to how they are viewed today looking back at her actions?

When President Abraham Lincoln assassination occurs on 1865, vice president Andrew Johnson gained office. Lincoln was a moderate Republican, who wanted to rebuild the nation without punishing the South, and wanted to give African American the right to vote or suffrage. Before his assassination, he had a plan for reconstruction in where he would pardon the south and allow them to reintegrate the Union. It would only have been possible if 10% of the voters took an oath of loyalty, but due to his dead, the 10% plan couldn't be carried out. President Johnson was a Democrat that believes that citizenship and voting rights were to be determined by each state individually; he also agreed with Lincoln that states never legally left the Union. In fact,

“Four score and seven years ago...” Abraham Lincoln was our 16th president and had his life taken after the North’s victory over the South; he lives on through these famous words of the Gettysburg Address. Abraham Lincoln was an important leader in the Civil War who helped free the slaves; his legacy lives on today. Although he was assassinated his words and actions are imprinted in our memory still today. This assassination was a major event in the history of the United States, not only with the loss of a great president, but with the changes and implications that came with it.

In 1898, Theodore Roosevelt become the Governor of New York, and In 1901 he became the Vice President of the United State (William McKinley was the president) In that same year Theodore became the president, because McKinley was shot and killed. Since Theodore was the Vice president, he was promoted to president. He was the 26th president and also he youngest president to be in the office at the age 42. John F. Kennedy later became the youngest person to win the election and become president at the age of 43. After 3 years, the Panama Canal was set to build. In that time period, there were a lot of people saying that, it was a bad idea, and others said it was a good idea, but he didn’t listen to anyone but himself. He talked with engineers

Almost everything in life or death starts with a plan, and that was no different for John Wilkes Booth. He and his co-conspirators, all southern Confederates, knew what they wanted, and originally that didn’t include President Lincoln’s death. They had wanted to kidnap him, take him to _______, and hold him for ransom. However, the main reason for such a drastic measures by the confederates was so that they could promote a trade with the North, the trade of men. They hoped to trade Lincoln for the Confederate prisoners of war.

The American Civil War endured four long and bloody years, from 1861-1865. Many effects of the Civil War were permanent changes for America’s history from the battle between the bluecoats and the grey. Following reconstruction and the succession of a new president after Lincoln’s death, differences of the North and South remained from 1866 on into the 1900’s. Whether it being social, economic, or political discrepancies, the growth of the nation remained divided and suffered different complications in between.

No, I do not believe that someone such as John Wayne Gacy who went and cruised for his victims on the streets of Chicago would be able to get away with murdering as many people as he did back in the 70's. I did my paper on Gacy and had learned about about how he would lure his victims to his house and the way he would eventually kill them. Although he was able to fool many individuals I still do not believe he would be able to fool the advancements that have surfaced from science and technology. We currently live in a world where everything is filmed or being recorded if not by a stranger than by a camera on the street. Technology itself has advanced to the point that if you do not have basic computer skills you would most likely not even

Abraham Lincoln, a name who many know, was the first US president to ever be assassinated. Lincoln was elected to the House of Representatives in 1846 and he began his term the following year. Originally, he was not popular among the voters and he decided to not go for reelection but in 1861 Abraham Lincoln was elected to be the 16th president of the United States. Shortly after the election, seven southern states seceded and created the Confederate States of America causing the Civil war. Several years after the election, John Wilkes Booth successfully killed Lincoln. Therefore, with Lincoln being the first president to be assassinated, America was shocked upon hearing of his death but his passing tested the country and the strength of our constitutional plan for success.

There are many definitions of terrorism and no one can be completely certain what it really means. Despite his actions at Pottawatomie Creek and Harper’s Ferry, John Brown certainly had legitimate reasons to carry out his attacks.

Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth president of the United States, was assassinated on April 14, 1865. He was first elected into office in 1861. Only when Lincoln announced his plans for abolition of slavery is when he began to be hated by nearly everyone. When running for his second term he had lost the majority of votes he had the first time he ran and everyone thought he would lose. Lincoln did end up winning the election against McClellan whom was far more hated than Lincoln. Not everyone hated Lincoln so strongly, though, and some people actually did agree with his views on emancipation. The negative voices were overpowering, though, and were wearing down Lincoln. Lincoln’s assassination shifted the public opinion of him; those who originally

As the procession moved along Appel Quay, the royal couple caught their first fight of the crowds around 10:10am. There was little evidence of security, as the Archduke had banned the army form the city streets for the day. Therefore 120 policemen were used to ensure the Archduke's safety. Suddenly, as the motorcade approached the Cumurja Bridge, a black object flew out of the crowd. Franz Ferdinand saw what looked like a bomb hurtling towards him. He raised his arms to deflect it away

In the year 1865 on April 14, five days after Robert E. Lee surrendered at Appomattox Courthouse, one of America 's greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln, was shot and killed by a man named John Wilkes Booth. Specifically, John Wilkes Booth was an American play actor and a big sympathiser for the Confederacy. Booth was well known for his hatred towards the President and his crazy ideas and motives, which lead to the killing of Lincoln. Many conspiracies and theories today believed the assassination of Abraham Lincoln was handled by John Wilkes alone, but other conspiracies believed that he did work with other conspirators.
