I need alot of help for year 10 School Certificate grade History and Geography.
To be more specific the topics I really need specialising in are as follows
HISTORY
-Gough Whitlam and the Dismissal
-Aboriginal (everything about them)
-Do we have to know about women? If so what? (Please be mature =.=)
GEOGRAPHY
-Geographical Issues. ( i need notes and tips)
-Regional and Global Links
-Future Challenges
Okay. Now to further test my memory with something I can't possibly stand GEOGRAPHY!!
Australia's regional and global links.
- Aid
- Foreign aid is the transfer of money, goods and services from a developed country to a developing country.
- Developing country is a term used to describe the world's poorest countries where most people have low economic standards of living.
- The australian government aims to reduce poverty in developing countries.
- AUS-AID manages the program.
- The program aims to reduce poverty and achieve sustainable development in line with Australia's national interest.
- AUSAID also advises and supports the minister.
- Coordinates poverty reduction activities in partnership with developing countries.
- Australia's gives aid because we want to be a good global citizen.
- 1 Billion people live on less that 1USD a day
- 2 billion people have no access to clean water
- 150 million children will never get to go to school
- Australia see Official Development Assistance (ODA) as an important social justice and equity issue.
- Australia helps partner governments improve law and order, prevent and recover from conflict, and manage transnational threats such as people trafficking, illicit drugs, HIV/AIDS and other communicable diseases.
- By building stable governments and stronger communities, Australia improves their ability to become stable trading partners.
- In 2009-10 Australia will provide $3.8 billion dollars worth of ODA.
- All Australians contribute to the Australian government aid program.
- Every week Australians contribute about $3.30 to the aid program. This is about 1% of government expenditure compared to the 33% spent on social security and welfare.
- Most of Australia's aid goes to the Asia Pacific Region
- The international community recognises Australia's leading role in the region especially in PNG and the Pacific.
- Australia's aid geographic focus also makes sense because 2/3 of the world's poor, some 800 million people reside in the Asia Pacific yet receive only 1/3 of total aid flows.
- Australia will continue to provide selective assistance to the middle east and africa through international and non government organisations.
That is all I know about AID. Our geo lessons are all bludge. Only the assessments give me knowledge. I still have no information on Future Challenges so can someone give me some info for it.
I'll happily provide my knowledge for NGOs for it.
