Elizabeth Quay is a project that is currently being built on what used to be known as the Perth Waterfront. This $2.6 billion project was planned by the State Government, aiming to enhance Perth’s reputation as the most liveable cities in the world and return the city’s focus to one of its most iconic natural assets – the Swan River. Elizabeth Quay will provide the city with a variety of new public spaces that will serve many different functions and offer unique experiences to its citizens. The project’s plans and funding was confirmed by Premier, Collin Barnett, and Perth Lord Mayor, Lisa Scaffidi, in February 2011 and started construction on 26th April 2012. Barnett also announced the project to be named “Elizabeth Quay” on 28th May 2012, …show more content…
A positive impact of the project is that there will be many new facilities for people to enjoy. These facilities will provide the public with opportunities to live, work, relax, dine and entertain by the river. The project will deliver new public spaces, such as a children’s playground and an indigenous cultural centre, which will benefit tourists and the citizens of Perth. There will be new residential and short-stay accommodation, supplying the city with more housing and catering for the increasing population. New cafes and restaurants will give people new options to eat out, and new shops offer people a different place to hang out and shop around. These new areas allow the people of Perth to enjoy a fresh new environment and give them a different place to …show more content…
Once the project is completed, the State Government predict that the Elizabeth Quay will attract more than 4 million visitors each year. This will impact the city majorly as the tourists will bring in money and cause businesses to expand and need more employees, therefore deceasing the unemployment rate and increasing GNI. A negative impact of the Elizabeth Quay project is that Riverside Drive will be cut. Instead, drivers will have to drive around the Elizabeth Quay on The Esplanade. To the right, there is a table recording the traffic flow on the corner of The Esplanade and William Street in a period of 5 minutes, recorded while on excursion to the construction site. As you can see, there is already a large amount of cars that drive on The Esplanade, and if Riverside Drive is cut, more people will be forced to take The Esplanade route, causing the road to develop a heavy traffic
The suburb of Pyrmont on the shores of Sydney Harbour has been transformed by the processes of urban renewal into a thriving cosmopolitan residential area, an efficient and sophisticated business centre, and a popular recreational and tourist hub. Through my own observation of the Pyrmont area, I have seen how the painstaking urban planning efforts for the area have come to fruition, and a focal point of the Harbour foreshore created as a result of this.
Harriet Tubman, an abolitionist who was born into slavery, was probably one of the greatest Americans to ever live. One of her most sumptuous quotes was, “Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.” That's exactly what she did.
Racism through the years has provided places around the world with a shameful past that even today, racial reconciliation is still only in its beginning phase. Legends such as Rosa Park, Martin Luther king, and Malcolm X sacrificed their own life daily to pave a brighter future for America. However there is only so much people can do to change the ways of the world, the rest is up to the moral ethics of everyday citizens. The novel, Elizabeth and Hazel: Two Women of Little Rock, makes me question society in the past and present. If today; years after racism was said to be over, two people can not move on from their horrid past, how is the rest of the world supposed to? Recent events have proven that racism still exists and will always exist
Billy Graham once said, "The one badge of Christian discipleship is not orthodoxy but love." By this definition, June Callwood, a social activist and journalist, displays true discipleship through her work of bringing awareness to groups often discriminated against. June loved everybody equally and realized that gender, age, pecuniary possessions, or race do not define a person's worth. In other words, June Callwood is a disciple because she worked towards making a better world where the rights of every human are respected.

Throughout the span of the book, Esther Greenwood slowly descends into madness. The first sign is her uncertainty with her future. Though she dreams of going to graduate school or traveling to Europe, Esther realizes that she doesn’t know what she wants to do; a discovery as shocking as meeting “some nondescript person” who “introduces himself as your real father” (Plath 32). Later when she’s at the UN, she realizes that she will lose all of her abilities once she leaves college, as she believes that the only skills she has is winning scholarships. She compares her current place in life as that of a fig tree, wanting all life paths given to her yet not taking any of them. Later, Esther goes to a country club where she has a rough encounter with Marco, a Peruvian man who attempts to rape her. Regardless of this instance, she continues to wear his blood afterwards viewing it “like a relic of a

If it was not for the hard work, determination, and perseverance from Elizabeth Cady Stanton, women today still may not of had the privilege to vote. Because of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and her hard work, women are now treated equally in our society today.

Using Caroline Bingley as a foil to Elizabeth, Austen critiques the aspirations and achievements that are traditionally considered to be of value to women. Caroline’s outlook regarding what makes women accomplished finds resonance with James Fordyce’s Sermons to Young Women (1766). These stereotypical regency-era ideals encourage ‘instruction in the fine arts’ (Fordyce, 127), including the study of embroidery, drawing, music and dance and completely discount the value of academic achievements. In contrast, Elizabeth is deeply interested in intellectual pursuits yet has not received a typical female education with ‘steady and regular instruction’ (Austen, 161) administered by a governess. Although Austen contrasts these two methods of education,

In the Catholic faith, there are seven sacraments. They are baptism, reconciliation, eucharist, confirmation, matrimony, holy orders and anointing of the sick. This year, the majority of the grade seven students are receiving the sacrament of confirmation. For confirmation, we have been asked to choose a Saint. For my Saint, I chose someone that I look up to. I chose Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton.
