To many, 'Great Britain' is a symbol of refuge from other disturbed parts of the world; an image promoted by the current government and other British international political figures. So why then are foreign families and communities in search of a better quality of life, welcomed in to unfamiliar societies with racial abuse?

Caught in the midst of a nuclear war, a group of British boys were escorted from the violence back in Britain to another, more clandestine nightmare. Although the uninhabited island seemed at first to be a paradise, the boys would soon find that the island their plane was shot down over houses a darker force: one that resides inside everyone. Later deemed the “Lord of the Flies,” it causes the boys to become increasingly atavistic—no longer were they British, no longer were they even human. In Lord of

In London, there is a variety of creative industries ranging from musical theatre in the west end, to mime artists working on the streets.

This poem expresses Mackellar’s deep passion and love for “her” country without touching on racial issues, rights or custodianship of the land. Australian born and resisting the identification of her British heritage, Mackellar patriotically declares Australia her own by rejecting the beauty of the British landscape through contrasting it with the romantic ideal of her "sunburnt" country. Mackellar presents to the readers the values and attitudes of a newly federated white Australia with her romanticisation

Iago, over a period of about three days, uses these facets of humanity to turn Othello against his wife Desdemona and his friend Cassio. Othello reveals both the struggle of the British people of the early 1600's and Americans in the late 1900's with sexism, capitalism and racism.

By the ninth century people all over were telling the fabulous tales and romances about Arthur and his kingdom.

Andrew Crawley describes in his book (“England”), the English people as being profoundly conservative.The English men feel, instinctively, that the present is not only the creation of the contemporaries, but also the result of the work of many past generations.
