There have been âbad peopleâ since humanity took its first steps into sentience. Whether they are petty thieves, rapists or tax dodgers they have always been seen with varying degrees of misconception by the general populace of the world. Unneeded stereotypes play a big part of this.

In the slave eras crime was always biased and exaggerated by the people that considered themselves âthe better Raceâ. Most places of the world still have such bias and racism (regardless of how much). Placing bias on crime always leads to changes in the story of an incident when it is retold.

These changes in a story happen for a couple of reasons, but the main reason for this is glamorization of the facts, sometimes these changes can lead to a complete overhaul of the original e.g.: Fred tripped on a rock; Fred was angry so he tripped on a rock; the police chased Fred for hating the establishment until he tripped on someoneâs leg. Stories like these can end up famous; legends in fact. Glamorization of facts are used A LOT in the media due to wanting an Audience that listens.

Australians are known for a unique history of anti Establishment behavior as the nation as is today were started by convicts. Convicts that were the base, the foundation of our future. Knowing this how could we not respect the people who rebelled against the cruel masters of rules?

I am trying to get an A level for history class every term so i'd like to know if this be okay. (i'll post the finished end by tomorrow.)

bad people


I'm going to resist smacking my head of the desk (I'm sleep deprived forgive my harshness), but PLEASE use a different word besides "bad".

the better Race


Superior would be a nice replacement for "better"

I would use a historical example here. Fictional senarios take away from the professionalism of an essay.

Australians are known for a unique history of anti Establishment


It's a good idea to explain what exactly the Anti Establishment movement actually is. You should always try to explain these points just in case you run across readers who do not know.

Overall:

It's shaping to be a decent essay, but there are things that need some work. The structure is well done and the flow of thoughts is pretty clear and concise, but there are points where I lose you because of your explainations and examples.

There have been âoutlawsâ since humanity took its first steps into sentience. Whether they are petty thieves, rapists or tax dodgers they have always been seen with varying degrees of misconception by the general populace of the world. Unneeded stereotypes play a big part of this. In the slave eras crime was always biased and exaggerated by the people that considered themselves âthe superior Raceâ. Most places of the world still have such bias and racism (regardless of how much). Placing bias on crime always leads to changes in the story of an incident when it is retold.

Australians are known for a unique history of anti Establishment (opposition or hostility to conventional social, political, or economic values or principles). behavior as the nation as is today were started by convicts. Convicts that were the base, the foundation of our future. Knowing this how could we not respect the people who rebelled against the cruel masters of rules?

Ned Kelly is a good example of this as he, a man deemed a criminal by law for murder and thievery is now considered famous; almost a hero for being someone that seen in another light was a poorly educated man with a convict father. he had been considered by the police as a juvenile bush ranger from the age of fourteen; he was also a murderer,a terrorist and a thief.

that's all tonights changes.
