effects of tourism within New Zealand, but mainly focusing on Dunedin’s port. Dunedin’s port is called Port Otago; this port has two berthing facilities, larger ships berth at Port Chalmers and the smaller ships will berth at Port Dunedin which is close to the city of Dunedin. The reason I am writing this report is to find out if the positive outweighs the negative within the community and the environment. In 2013-2014 there were 2 3 vessels into Otago, 133,800 passengers. One of the negative impacts
brain. Including the chemicals produced by it and how they interact with each other. This approach is deterministic: it argues that all human behaviour is solely determined by our genetics, brain mechanisms and neurochemicals such as hormones. The Dunedin Longitudinal Study will be evaluated from this perspective. The humanistic perspective has its origins in existential philosophy. It argues that the world is ultimately meaningless and that people are free to choose their own personally worthwhile
control in adulthood can be important to success in health, wealth and crime (Moffitt et al. 2011). Grit can be important to succeeding in life long pursuits and goals. Moffitt et al. (2011) describes the results from a longitudinal study held in Dunedin New Zealand, adults who showed higher levels of non-cognitive skills such as self-control were more likely to have higher scores in health, be more financially stable and lower crime rates than those ranked lower on the non-cognitive skills gradient
embryos are: there’s no use for embryonic stem cell research because adult stem cells already achieved successful results, using an embryo for scientific research constitutes as murder, and “embryonic stem cell research violates sanctity of life” (Dunedin). Although these statements provide strong arguments, those arguing against embryonic stem cell research don’t understand the scientific background behind this process. Adult stem cell uses contain very
American artist Squire J. Vickers painted Cityscape with Sun in 1927. The painting is done in oil on burlap. Cityscape with Sun was painted in a cubist style- a painting style that emphasizes the use of geometric shapes. This work is a representational painting of a cityscape. In this artwork, Squire J. Vickers uses organic and geometric lines. He used organic lines to represent the sun in the painting, and geometric lines to represent the buildings. The bright yellow sun is used as a focal point
British company. Cadbury was established in Birmingham, England (1824), by John Cadbury who sold coffee, tea and drinking chocolate. The Cadbury story in New Zealand is full of wonder and magic. Bright eyed and bushy tailed, Richard Hudson arrives in Dunedin and opens up his first biscuit bake house. All of a sudden, cups of tea had never tasted so good. This visionary of confectionary opened what we think was the Southern hemisphere’s first chocolate and cocoa manufacturing plant. Lots of magical things
Just what is self-esteem? It is the confidence in one's own worth or abilities; self-respect. Why is self-esteem important? Self-esteem is important because it has an huge effect on your life and the choices or decisions you make. It is the foundation of your very existence, it is the understanding you have about yourself. It is the core of your mental health. People who have high self-esteem have confidence, are happy, have self-respect, can handle challenges and criticism....etc. Those with low
`the critical notions of innocence and naturalness' (Jones, 1997: 164). Most children around the ages of eight to ten, as reported in a study undertaken in the rural setting of Clutha Valley Primary School in South Dunedin and the urban setting of North East Valley Normal in Dunedin, have had agricultural and natural experiences of rural New Zealand. One subject interviewed during the course of the study remarked how he went `eeling', `riding motorbikes', `running around in the paddocks', `getting
1. Introduction Many students because of poor understanding, lack the expertise and confidence to apply their mathematics classroom knowledge and understanding to their every day problem solving situations. In addition they have a poor attitude towards mathematics learning and its usefulness. I believe the traditional method of teaching mathematics which over-emphasises: memorization of formulae and procedure, use of algorithm the solving of only routine classroom problems contributes to this
What causes criminal behavior? Human antisocial behaviour is complex and trying to understand it has always proven to be a daunting intelligent task, especially in modern culturally diverse societies. Crime, broadly defined as behaviour through which individuals obtain resources for others through uncouth means, presents as one of the most refractory internal social dilemmas. Understanding individual criminal acts such a murder, rape or motives behind them is intricate, rather their behavioral definitions
In this article, Kristen Weir reviews the effects marijuana has on the developing brain. As more states are now legalizing marijuana for not only medical but recreational use, many medical doctors and psychologist fear the long-term effects. Many of marijuana’s long-term effects are still unknown even though it is one of the most widely used illegal substance in the United States. Recreational use in states that marijuana is legalized in only pertains to citizens 21 or older. Even with the age restrictions

Traditionally, courts of law have been guided by four factors, namely the magnitude of risk, practicability of precautions, utility of the act of the defendant
surgery. It will also explain the influence it has on today’s society, then finally the legacy he left behind. This paper will discuss how Harold Gillies invented facial plastic surgery. Harold Gillies was born on the seventeenth of June 1882 in Dunedin New Zealand, being the youngest of eight children born to Robert and Emily Gillies. Harold’s younger years were spent on the family farm which he enjoyed. At the age of eight he was sent to Lindley Lodge, a private school near Rugby in England. Gillies
In 1950s New Zealand, music was as big as music is or was anywhere. Popular music in New Zealand started to introduce some distinctly New Zealand themes in the songs being made during this time. Themes that include: the use of te reo Maori in songs, songs about phenomena specific to New Zealand, and songs that directly mention New Zealand and/or cities in New Zealand. One example of a song employing definite New Zealand themes is one by Morgan Clarke with Benny’s Five called “Haka Boogie” which
Whenever we talk about the British constitutional system, the first thing we should acknowledge is that we are examining the sources that shape up the UK constitution. The framework of how the UK constitution operates is not present in one single location, it is in various forms. Obviously the sources that we are talking about here are from a legal aspect. Now whilst most of the sources of the UK constitution exist in a written form, there is a lack of a single document. Hence it is better to think
The Geography of New Zealand The well-known country of New Zealand is a small, resourceful nation located 1,000 miles off Australia's south east coast. New Zealand has an impressive economy that continues to grow, a physical landscape that attracts people from around the globe, and although small, New Zealand is a respected nation for its advanced civilization and stable government. The geography of this prestigious nation can be described through five principal categories, the physical
If English law decided to abolish the doctrine of consideration it would rely on alternative methods such as promissory estoppel to replace the role of consideration in filtering out non-contractual agreements. The outcome of using alternative methods rather than consideration would impact on case precedency and it would change the formation of contracts as consideration is a key element in forming a contract. However since there has been legitimacy and applicability issues raised regarding the doctrine
