Recommended: Australia's asbestos risks

Residents of a remote town in the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia are calling on the government to step in and address possible asbestos exposure due to a building purchased with government money. Those who call Tennant Creek home are calling for health checks to determine whether the town’s children are suffering from asbestos exposure after entering the unoccupied building, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. The town’s largest Aboriginal corporation, the Julalikari Council Aboriginal Corporation, purchased the building, now vandalized and a common play place for area children, eight years ago with federal government grant money designated for community centers and housing, according to the news source.

  • Dwellings: The Living World

    1124 Words  | 3 Pages

    The earth is made of every single molecule in the air, every breath an animal takes, every wind that blows, every rain drop that falls, every leaf that falls from a tree. In today's world, many people take advantage of Mother Nature, and give no respect to wilderness and earth. Oil mills are constructed and land is torn apart to make more room for the industrial, modern world. Many humans have forgotten about the beauties of nature, and are not concerned by the fact that Mother Nature is slowly dying. Our societies have begun to grow apart from the earth and the non-human world. In Donelle N. Dreese's essay, The Terrestrial Intelligence, he refers to Linda Hogan's collection of essays and believes that "her book, with all its stories, recreates the life of the natural world that has been objectified, and it redefines non-human creatures that have been negatively stereotyped" (12). Reese analyzes Hogan's essays and comes to a conclusion that Linda Hogan is trying to get the message across that humans, animals, and the earth are all connected one way or another, and that no matter how hard we try to detach ourselves from Mother Nature, we will never escape this relationship. Even though at times it seems as if humans have completely broken off from Mother Nature, there is still a connection there that not many people take notice of. Linda Hogan believes that humans are slowly killing the land, animals and even their own people, and by doing so, humans are trying to detach themselves from their roots, the Earth.

  • Traditional Shelter Essay

    1200 Words  | 3 Pages

    Shelter has always been a necessity for mankind. We, as humans, have a relationship with the land that we must respect to live happily amongst it. Spaning back as far as the pre-Colonial Australia, indigenous Australians understood this connection excellently. Their shelters seemed to ‘bend with the land’ as they understood crucial elements within the architecture to compensate for distinctive climate and cultural factors to fit their nomadic lifestyle. Their living style was very minimalistic yet practical. The indigenous Australians only built what they needed to survive. For evidence of this, we will be looking at the text; ‘Gunyah, Goondie and Wurley: the Aboriginal architecture of Australia’ by Paul Memmott as he discussed the social dynamics and structural design of the indigenous communities. There was also leadership established within these however this was rarely displayed through the architecture. Conversely, indigenous New Zealanders had a more conventional comprehension of space and planning of their more permanent townships. The shelters of the New Zealand tribes created community importance with their detailed Maori. As a key example of these traditional settlements, ‘Historic buildings of New Zealand’ from the New Zealand Historic Places Trust shows us many detailed plans of this living style and complete descriptions of the Maoris’. The indigenous New Zealanders built shelters to provide basics of societal living and town leadership as well as for the necessity of housing. However, both communities had an outstanding respect and comprehension for the environment they surrounding themselves with. This essay will explore both the similarities and juxtapositions between the shelters of the indigenous Australians and ...
