GLOBALISATION IS MY TOPIC. I struggle to understand Globalisation agendas/ethics . My primary question: Is globalisation good or bad??
Michael Bond's summary of Globalisation is exponential growth.
"Truth be told, there are not a lot of natural cases in which exponential growth is exhibited. An exponential growth model assumes that there is an infinite amount of resources from which to draw."
(Quote: no byline from Members.Optusnet exponential link)

Summit 2020 and my vision for the future


Mr Rudd's top idea
I agree with Mr Rudd's functionalism unit.
The Prime Minister announced that he would like to continue the “national conversation” through the Australia 2020 website.
I believe that Australia, as a young country, needs to reconnect with its unique national identity and culture. To have the strongest sense of leadership is to preserve our heritage, culture, families and natural resources...I agree with the following proposals from the 2020 summit
The productivity agenda
One Curriculum: Create one national curriculum with freed up funds going to children in schools
Options for the future of Indigenous
Individual learning and health compacts (case management)
Population, sustainability and climate change
Australia will be the world’s leading green and sustainable economy
We will have harnessed the potential of our natural assets and human resources to turn the challenge of climate change to our advantage
The future of Australian Governance
Bill or Charter of rights for all Australians, including Indigenous Australians
Strengthening communities, supporting families and social inclusion
Establishment of the Housing Foundation to fund responses homelessness
Towards a creative Australia
Develop a national culture and design strategy and policy
