Paragraph Ted Bailieu wants to ban American Pit-bull dogs because unregistered types of these dogs have attacked several people. The owner’s could be fined $19,000 because they haven’t been unregistered. Owners can face 20 years in jail. If the owners register these dogs the council will result to killing them. The AVA says that the socialization of puppies and dogs will be better than killing them. Banning these breeds will help to reduce attacks but it won’t stop them completely. Poor socialization of American Pit bulls will increase the rates of attacks. Statistics show that most children under the age of 10 are attacked by their own pet dogs. The AVA said that they will not be able to prevent all incidences from occurring but the socialization of dogs from a young age with people will help. Teaching children how to be safe around dogs will help as well.

Holidays Cruising along the highway of South Australia at 100km/h, for 7 hours. It began to loose its appeal. The heat was getting to me. In the middle of nowhere. It was 35°C and I was dying to get out of that car and jump into the water having those waves crashing on top of me. But I knew that I couldn’t. I just had to sit and gaze into the abyss. It was a dry, crusty surface with the sun beaming off it. There was not a sole around, not even one plant, or one strand of grass. It was dead like it was an unknown place yellow like rotten cheese. It was depressing to look at. I was counting down by the second to get out of that car. The moment finally came we had reached Adelaide. I was in agony now to get to the beach and I finally got my wish. The sight of the bright yellow sand, beautiful blue water, and the sun reflecting off the surface of the water. I ran against the waves, the cool feeling of getting back into the water and for the waves to be crashing against my body. This meant more to me than anything else at that moment in time. It was my best and foremost time of the holidays. I only got to go to the beach twice on the holidays due to the weather.

Who’s Side Are You On Black Or White?

New laws are being passed and the black are becoming smaller in society by the second. Now they cant even do anything in relation to the whites. The blacks are left out so much. They have different bus stops, different cafes, drinking taps, toilets and other things to separate the two colours.

It all started in the 1880s when the blacks had come out of slavery and the Americans finished the civil war. The Americans thought to segregate themselves from the black because they thought they were dirty. The whites are enforcing this law on America because they want to be finer than everyone else. After the law was passed everything started to go down hill.

The blacks were starting to stand up for their rights and they were causing big protests against the law but it’s sad because no one could give a damn about them. As they always do the Americans took it too far again. In society it was like having two different classes a higher class (the whites) and a much lower and demoted class (the blacks). The government had set out a very simple layout. The blacks had to go to one café and the whites had another café. But that was for everything like toilets, hospitals, schools, vending machines and everything else under the sun you can think of.

Society now is very precious because if the blacks say something about the whites the whites get defensive automatically because a black person said it. For example, Rosa Parks was sitting on the bus after a days work and she was sitting in the coloured section of the bus. When the bus stoped to pick up and drop off people whites boarded the bus so the bus driver asked if she could get up for the whites. She refused. The bus driver called the police and Rosa was arrested for not getting up. That is a perfect example of the whites being very precious about themselves.

This behaviour has impacted on our society a lot because the black people cant stand up for what they believe in. They aren’t heard when they want to say something and they are treated like rubbish. Thrown around and do whatever the whites want them to do. It’s a problem and it needs to stop before it gets out of hand.
