Task:

In this final piece of assessment students must write a research essay answering one of the questions below. A research essay is an essay that answers a question using information gathered from scholarly research. The two most important things to remember when working on this essay are question and research: you must answer the question, and you must do so on the basis of research into your chosen topic.

Most of the questions below are related to one of this unit’s weekly topics. Students must read and use at least six sources from the relevant reference lists below. Students are also expected to do some of their own research using the References and Further Readings in the relevant weekly topic guides, and also through the library catalogue. Please note that students cannot write on the same topic in assessment tasks 2 and 3.

  1. 'We want to fight for a genuine treaty, and that will only ever be achieved when our voice is heard and respected' (Boon wurrung Elder N'arweet Carolyn Briggs, First Peoples Assembly, 10 December 2019). Why are Indigenous peoples still fighting to be heard and respected in contemporary Australia? Answer with reference to the lives and experiences of Indigenous peoples in Australia in the 21st century.
  2. In 2020, 84% of surveyed Australians agreed that 'multiculturalism has been good for Australia'. And yet, in the same survey, 18% of respondents said they had experienced discrimination on the basis of their skin colour, ethnic origin, or religion in 2020 – and for those respondents who were born in Asia, that figure increased to 39% (Scanlon Foundation Surveys, 2020). Is Australia a successful multicultural nation? Why/why not? Answer with reference to both the attitudes of ordinary Australians and the experiences of migrants to Australia in the 21st century.
  3. Why is the remembrance of war so important in Australia in the 21st century? Answer with reference to what is remembered and forgotten on Anzac Day in contemporary Australia.
  4. What do the experiences of Australian travellers tell us about Australian attitudes towards Asia in the 21st century? Answer with reference to Australian travel to Indonesia.
  5. 'The experiences of Julia Gillard as Prime Minister demonstrate that sexism is alive and well in Australia in the 21st century.' Do you agree? Why/why not? 
  6. 'If racism is endemic throughout the broader community, it is not surprising to find it within institutions such as sporting Clubs' (Larissa Behrendt and Lindon Coombes. Do Better, 2020, p. 6). What does sport tell us about racism in contemporary Australia? Answer with reference to the experiences of Indigenous players in the Australian Football League (AFL) in the 21st century.
  7. 'We need to learn from the experiences of Black Saturday and improve the way we prepare for and respond to bushfires' (Final Report, Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission, July 2010). Why do non-Indigenous Australians seem to find it so hard to learn from their experiences of Australia's environment? Could a better understanding of Indigenous knowledges help? Answer with reference to bushfires in Australia in the 21st century.
