Abstract
The writer of this paper defines terra nullius as a legal acquisition of land and delves into its significant impact on Australia. It is under this particular definition of legal land acquisition that Britain claimed ownership of Australia. This paper discusses in historic detail how terra nullius affected many aspects of Australian society both in negative and positive ways.
From the Paper
"What needs to be realized is that this original land claim was based on a violation of international law. The land claimed by the British would not fall under the concept of terra nullius because aboriginal tribes were in possession of the land. The land did not "belong to no one" and there were ownership claims to the territory albeit based on heritage rather than British law. The natives of the land were pushed off of ancestral lands at the cost of lives and lifestyle. Therefore, British colonization and later Australian sovereign rule is based entirely upon false claims and violations of recognized international law."

Abstract
This paper discusses the legal battles fought over the concept of "terra nullius" in Australia. The paper explains this term to relate to territory that does not belong to any state - 'no mans land'. The paper explores the discriminatory rulings against the Aboriginal people of Australia and contends that a new constitution is needed. The paper claims that the present constitution was formulated to meet the needs of the invading English and should be replaced with an Australian constitution, which meets the needs of all races now living in this country.
From the Paper
"Australia's coastline is nearly 22,800 miles long. Australia is completely surrounded by water, the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. The Coral Sea is near Tasmania. The lowest point in Australia is Lake Eyre and that is 39 feet below sea level. The highest point in Australia is Mount Kosciunsko and that is 7,310 feet above sea level. Australia is the oldest continent and the lowest continent with only 6 percent of it is above 2,000 feet. Most of the continent has no mountains. The largest lake is Lake Eyre at 3,700 square miles. This lake has barely any fresh water in it. If you fly over it in a low flying airplane you would see lots of Detail. The Ayers Rocks are a wonderful sight when the sun sets.1"

Abstract
Terra Nullius ("Empty Land") was a law created in Australia in 1788, that denied recognition of land ownership prior to that date for anyone other than English and other white European settlers. This paper examines the rule from its implementation until 1992, when the Australian high Court handed down its infamous "Mabo" ruling which stated that the policy of Terra Nullius was not valid and that the Aborigines were the first true inhabitants of Australia.
From the Paper
"One example was that of John Koowarta, who obtained funds, partially through the Australian Federal government, to buy a cattle station in Central Cape York Peninsula. The owner of the station was willing to sell the property to him, but the Queensland government intervened to prohibit the sale. They refused to allow the transfer of pastoral lands, because their policy at the time was not to permit Aborigines to purchase land in isolation from the State government. Koowarta went to court, and won, with the court therefore pointing out that Queensland (and presumably other states) had valid racial discrimination laws."

Abstract
The paper is composed of two sub-essays dealing with the experience of Canadian women in Canada, relating to its settlement. The first question deals with the question of racialization and the creation of the other, both with negative and valorized stereotypes. The second question answers a broad course question regarding the background of Terra Nullius to the readings.
From the Paper
"There are various structural reasons behind the emergence of racism. It is a process that combines a variety of factors such as an inherent human ethnocentrism, fear of the other and economic structures, to name a few. As Frantz Fanon pointed out, racialization and the creation of the Other is a complementary process. As much as people are the products of their environments, they also create them. The oppressor and the oppressed ultimately both adopt the identities that are given to them, and contribute to shaping the system they are a part of."

From the Paper
"Questions such as the effect of commercial growth enhancers and chemical use in an agricultural setting are on a scale much grander than is practical in this laboratory, and impractical for non-botanical majors such as ourselves. Our concern, therefore, is merely the survival of "domestic science" and the smaller ecosystems in our own living rooms. Rather, we wondered if the plant product Miracle-Gro(r) did what it is advertised to do: increase the growth rate and health of domestic plants."

Abstract
This paper examines the main characteristics of the environmental zones of Patagonia and the Amazon Basin. The paper discusses the revelation that human adaptive systems were constrained or limited to bands in the case of Patagonia, villages in the case of terra firme Amazonia, and chiefdom in the case of the Amazonian region.
From the Paper
"Environmental Zones and Human Adaptive Systems: Each of these respective human adaptive systems developed in response to the environmental realities presented by each of these geographical regions. The implications of the relationship between environmental zones and the characteristic adaptive system each zone influenced are evident, for the Band-Village-Chiefdom heuristic in South America reveals that human societies and cultures generally develop in response to the availability or lack of availability of food."

From the Paper
"The earlier great cultures of Egypt and the Near East were making art long before the Greeks and much of the early Greek art looks Egyptian, with its stiff and profiled poses and boxy geometric designs. Moreover, the Greeks borrowed the ideas, motifs, conventions, and skills from these earlier civilizations (Tansy 1996). However, it was the Greeks who made the leap into naturalism and in their representations of the human body created an ideal of perfectly balanced proportions that has never been improved upon. Although, we often speak of Greek and Roman in the same breath, the greatest accomplishments of Greek art were five centuries old by the time the Romans began to copy them. "

Abstract
This paper explains that the first known bathtub was found in Greece in the great palace of Knossos and included impressive technologies that provided water for the tub, including a system of interlocking terra-cotta pipes. The author believes that the function of the bathroom needs to be pushed to a new extreme, allowing people, spaces, and domestic functions new potentials for hybrid activities. The paper relates that a complete home plumbing system requires three distinct networks of pipes: water supply lines, which carry water under pressure; a network of drain pipes, which works entirely by gravity; and a network of pipes, which serves to maintain equal air pressure throughout the drainpipe so that the flow proceeds without interference.

From the Paper
"In fact, until the mid-nineteenth century, streets were used as refuse dumping grounds, domestic animals roamed the streets and rodents ran rampant. Cesspools were located near houses and buildings, reeking and spreading germs. The Industrial Revolution and discoveries such as the germ theory brought about major changes in approach, raising the standard of living and ending serious epidemics. By 1900, improved nutrition, better sanitation, and, especially, contributions from bacteriologists increased life expectancy at birth by almost six years to age 47.3."

Abstract
This paper explains that marketing professionals use store design, including music, color schemes, placement of products, and placement of advertised in-store specials, to create an ambiance that compels people to purchase their products and services. The author points out that the Starbucks coffee shop store design, which is of the utmost importance to the company, uses a terra cotta color scheme, reminiscent of coffee shops in Milan, Italy, to create a feeling of relaxation and quality. The paper relates that the company has a store design team consisting of 80 individuals that oversees store designs in various regions around the country and throughout the world; only people who have actually worked behind the counter at a Starbucks store are allowed to be embers of this team.
From the Paper
"The design of a full sized Starbucks coffee shop is usually open, very clean and inviting. The smell of the coffee is enticing and the menu that is available to customers is extensive and contains several types of coffee. In recent years, Starbucks has tried to make the process of purchasing coffee more convenient with the advent of the Starbucks Card. With the Starbucks card customers can prepay for purchases, which makes the experience more time effective and convenient for customers."
