The Gallipoli campaign was a military disaster but it is still one of the most important conflicts in which Australia was involved. On 25th April 1915 between 4:30 and 6:30 am the Gallipoli Peninsula was invaded by British, Australian and New Zealand forces. This was to start the long, hard weeks in which the troops were fighting for ground that the enemy controlled in Turkey. They were attempting to gain a supply route to Russia to aid them in repelling the German and Turkish soldiers from their country. I will be discussing the willingness of Australians to volunteer for the war effort and the love and respect they had for their Mother Country, England. I will also discuss how the young, naive soldiers arrived at war not knowing what warfare entailed. They were shocked by the conditions and casualties. I will also discuss the bravery that was shown by the ANZACS in the most dangerous conditions. I will conclude with my reasons of why the Gallipoli campaign holds such value and importance in Australian history and ideology.
On one side, menu items of Chinese restaurants change a lot when the Chinese immigrants came to the United States. For instance, authentic Chinese restaurants does not have General Tso’s Chicken and fortune cookies. The dish of General Tso’s Chicken is originally from America. Since the General Tso’s chicken has a same name with a famous Chinese statesman in the last century. Most people think it is authentic Chinese food. But actually, it is inauthentic Chinese food. There is a joke of this disk. That is even Zongtang Zuo does not eat General Tso’s chicken because of the dish of name is from Zongtang Zuo (“The Strange Tale”). The other is fortune cookies. People do not eat fortune cookies after they finish all dishes in China because there are cultural differences. In China, the Chinese restaurants has not a traditional culture which eats fortune cookies after finish eating all dishes. Also, the cold water does not exist at the dinner table in China. Hot water is almost always served (Xiaoyu Yan). But, the cold water absolutely appeared in the Chinese restaurants in the United States. Even the authentic menu items do not include either fortune cookies or General Tso’s Chicken. On the other side, Chow Mein is a traditional Chinese food. But, the chef changes the cooking process of Chow Mein in the United States. The reason is the owner of restaurant wants to adapt

Darwin played a significant role in the war prior to the bombing and was considered a vital Australian defence base, (Australian War Memorial). As an important town in Northern Australia, it was isolated from other major cities, so heavily relied on sea transport. In the 1930s when the war was beginning to develop, Australia began to build Darwin up as a military base, using it to send forces to help defend the Dutch East Indies. The port and airfield were improved, along with coastal defences on the beaches. As it was in such a strategic position, the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) built bases near the town. They also established maintenance facilities, munitions storage and improved communications. Within the two months before the bombing, especially when Singapore fell, the civilians of Darwin were evacuated including women, children, the sick and elderly.
There were people with faces that showed how that they were clueless on what to eat but when they saw people of the same culture through their dressing, they had the expression of happiness written all over them. It felt like they had found a sense of home just by discovering their culture food and those of the same culture. They immediately got their food and went to sit in the section where their culture was present. Women and Men in official clothing chose to dine at the Chinese and Italian section probably because the stand was of a more decorous setting than the other
Although one is a slave and the other is not, both Wheatley and Woolman value slaves as children of God who are deserving of freedom. Believing that slaves are worthy of redemption, and should be able to see the light of the Great Awakening. As a result, all humans are equal and the practice of owning slaves should be abandoned. Phillis Wheatley, a slave herself was purchased by an Anglican Boston family at a young age. Wheatley began to study and adore Anglicanism, and believed to have been saved from her previous Pagan methods. Wheatley then began to publish poems which encouraged the practice of Anglicanism among slaves. Another advocate for the expression of God’s love towards all creations, including slaves, was John Woolman. Woolman, a Quaker leader from New Jersey, helped convince Philadelphia Quakers to advocate for emancipation; by explaining the importance of expressing love toward all human beings. The key similarity between Wheatley and Woolman is their profound comprehension of religion and love for all God’s children, including slaves; as a result, their relationships with God lead them to value the
As previously mentioned, food was traditionally considered as a mere means of subsistence, especially in the 17th and 18th centuries. The early history of food involved its use to define shared identities and reflected religious and group customs. Furthermore, food was filled with psychological, cultural, religious, and emotional significance. During this period, a unique court tradition of cuisine and sophisticated table manners emerged to distinguish the social elite from the ordinary people. However, during the 19th century, the history of food slightly changed as it became a defining symbol of national identity. This period was characterized by the association of several dishes to particular countries and cultures (Mintz, par 1). For instance, American hamburger and tomato-based Italian spaghetti are cultural foods that were in...

American culture is incubated and hatched in the cafeteria. Students go to the dining hall to get the food their bodies need for proper nourishment. But, food is by no means the only thing that students get at the cafeteria - they are also served with social interaction. The cafeteria is a place which some students love and which others dread. It is generally an integral part of children's social lives from elementary school all the way into college. Why is the cafeteria so important? Because, in the cafeteria, popularity is determined, friends are made, styles and fads are born, and the current news is broadcast. Our culture is defined and passed on over meals in the dining hall.
The United States of America, a country where anyone can become anything he or she wants to be. It is even given the phrase “Land of opportunity.” This is one of the reasons people from different parts of the world choose to immigrate to the United States.
