  Is Hollywood Rewriting History? Reflecting on Cultural Identity This video explores the potential distortion of historical narratives through a Hollywood lens. I grapple with questions of authenticity, colonial legacy, and the importance of preserving cultural nuances in storytelling. Join me in this discussion on representation and the power of who gets to tell the story. Keywords: Hollywood cultural appropriation Filipino history storytelling authenticity colonialism in film resistance narratives Our Hollywood Heroes are on Fire We dream of parallel universes where Hollywood heroes and colonial adventurers of the 19th century coexist. These adventurers were cultural conquerors, erasing borders and reshaping narratives to fit the dominant worldview. Hollywood continues this tradition, reworking stories to fit the familiar and shaping our perceptions of reality. We must question the stories we are told, lest we become complicit in subtly reshaping history and perpetuating distort...

The action PrimeMinister Malcolm Turnbull will be remembered for, is whether he enacts processes for Australia to become a Republic. My commitment to the Republican movement was pure and simply patriotism, a love of Australia... a desire or passion that all of our national symbols should be unequivocally and unambiguously Australian. Malcolm Turnbull

“In the agricultural era, schools mirrored a garden. In the industrial era, classes mirrored the factory, with an assembly line of learners. In the digital-information era, how will learning look?” Lucy Dinwiddie Global Learning & Executive Development Leader, General Electric The urgency to develop relevant forms of 21st century leadership exists, as continued application of  20th century management practices will eventually incapacitate society. Positional leaders must transform schools from the assembly-line-of-learners era to the digital-information era.  The future of societal progression is dependent on school leaders being able to directly shift their learning goals towards the era. If societal progression is to occur, schooling must not be maimed by yester-century retro-like industrialised management practices. Within this era industrialised management practices will manufacture diminished potential.  Diminish human potential in schools and soc...

WHAT IT TAKES: Through leadership inaction the game has been brought into disrepute. This Football Cub should be folded or banished from the Australian Football League for treating their employees as human bio-chemical guinea pigs. The AFL must now act decisively and firmly to regain standing as a professional and accountable governing organisation. The AFL through in-action is bringing the game into disrepute. "If the AFL Tribunal's decision had prevailed, it would have set a damaging precedent for future non analytical anti-doping cases; and, therefore, been detrimental for anti-doping efforts worldwide."  WADA

The commercial opens with a man and woman walking into separate meeting rooms. The man leading the meeting has the word “Boss” emblazoned behind him. The female leader has the word “Bossy.” The video shows men and women doing the same things, but with different labels associated with their activities. Where the man is “persuasive,” the woman is “pushy.” A man working late is shown as “dedicated.” The woman doing the same is labeled “selfish.” More labels continue, until the ad closes urging women: “Don’t let labels hold you back. Be strong and shine .” Forbes http://goo.gl/7gplGK

39 years ago today, Gough Whitlam made history by giving land back to Vincent Lingiari and the Gurindji people -- an iconic symbol of reconciliation and the achievements of the land rights movement.  This is a great day for Australia to celebrate. I think this day and this image of Whitlam and Lingiari is as important as any national day Australians celebrates (despite the picture's overtones symbolising the white commander and the black controlled).  There are not many of these types of cultural artefacts  which are outwardly promoted and celebrated as a nation. I believe this day is more important to the Australian cultural fabric than the external war campaigns Australia celebrates (why has the military machine taken over our cultural celebrations? $$ reason to buy more and more war hardware and to increase Australian Federal budget percentage). Australia readily celebrates the colonial past and empire heritage). Why can't this cultural activ...
