United Kingdom National Anthems Comprehension
United Kingdom National Anthems Comprehension The National Anthem of the United Kingdom is God Save the Queen. It was first performed as a patriotic song in 1745 but only became known as the National Anthem from the beginning of the 19th Century. God Save the Queen represents the whole of the United Kingdom. However, when England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland compete as separate countries in sporting events, they have other national songs. God Save the Queen God save our gracious Queen! Long live our noble Queen! God save the Queen! Send her victorious, Happy and glorious, Long to reign over us, God save the Queen. Since 2010, England has used the song Jerusalem as their national song at the Commonwealth Games after it won a public poll. The composer, teacher and historian of music Hubert Parry set the short poem ‘And did those feet in ancient time’ by William Blake to his own melody. Jerusalem was written in the Victorian times in the middle of the industrial revolution, a time when many factories were being built and cities were crowded. The words of the song remind people of the beauty of nature and the countryside. It is considered to be England's most popular patriotic song. Page 1 of 5 visit twinkl.com Jerusalem Bring me my bow of burning gold! And did those feet in ancient time Bring me my arrows of desire! Walk upon England's Bring me my spear! mountain green? O clouds, unfold! And was the holy Lamb of God Bring me my chariot of fire! On England's pleasant pastures seen? I will not cease from mental fight, And did the countenance divine Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Shine forth upon our clouded hills? Till we have built Jerusalem And was Jerusalem builded here In England's green and In England's green and pleasant land.

Fair Go’ Principle Which Suggests That Everyone Is Entitled to Fairness by Way of Shared Opportunity – Such As with Education, Health, Social Security, and So On
Australian society has long been imbued with a ‘fair go’ principle which suggests that everyone is entitled to fairness by way of shared opportunity – such as with education, health, social security, and so on. For advocates, this mantra underpins a society that, while unequal, is not characterized by vast differences in wealth and living standards (Herscovitch, 2013). To critics, though, the ‘fair go’ notion is either idealistic or completely unrealistic, as well as a distraction from entrenched differences of opportunity and power in Australian society (Lawrence, 2017). For Indigenous Australians, the notion of a ‘fair go’ in a society in which generations of Aboriginal peoples have suffered manifestly is particularly fraught (Tatz, 2017).1 Even the semantics of a ‘fair go’ can be construed as discriminatory by way of ‘race’:2 for example, ‘fairness’ has long focused on opportunities for fair skinned (i.e. White) Australians (Fotinopoulos, 2017). Revelations that in many parts of Australia during the early to mid-late twentieth century, Aboriginal children were forcibly removed from families and placed in foster care – under the guise of welfare – prompted a report into what became known as the Stolen Generations (Murphy, 2011). In 2008, the Federal Government issued a national apology and committed to a reconciliation process. This includes ‘closing the gap’ initiatives featuring twin efforts: to help all Australians come to terms with a harrowing history of racial discrimination and conflict, and to catalyze improvements to the lives of Aboriginal peoples (Gunstone, 2017; Kowal, 2015). In this article we are interested in the question of a ‘fair go’ for Indigenous peoples, particularly the role of Aboriginal voices in seeking to (re)shape symbols of identity, representation, and nationality.

Wagga-College-Song-Book-N.D..Pdf
FOREWORD For the first time since 1954 (when a song book was published to commemorate the Bathurst-Wagga Intercollegiate) the Publica tions Committee has been able to produce a Song Book which we hope will be a source of pleasure and interest to all students. We ask you to consider the variety of taste for which we had to cater and trust that we have included something that you might enjoy. The book is designed also to be closely linked to the Music course and will be used to advantage in "Sing-a- Longs" and lectures. It may also be found useful as a teaching medium and should be in a prominent position in future Music Method Books! The songs were selected mainly from the various 'Varsity and past College song books from Wagga and Armidale. We are grateful for the use of these. Gratitude must be extended to Mr. Orch ard, Miss O'Donnell, Adele V\Teatherall, Kaye White, Beverly Berry, Alan Lynch, Brian Bazzo, Peter Crittendon, John Hough and our artist Adrian Young. It is hoped that in future years this book will be used as a basis for bigger and better productions. Sing well, this 1s a "Sing-a-Long with Orch" made easy.

PUBLIC PETITION NO. PE01541 Name Of
PUBLIC PETITION NO. PE01541 Name of petitioner Chris Cromar Petition title 'Flower of Scotland' to be officially recognised as Scotland's national anthem Petition summary Calling on the Scottish Parliament to urge the Scottish Government to Offically recognise 'Flower of Scotland' as Scotland's national anthem. Action taken to resolve issues of concern before submitting the petition In my time as a Member of the Scottish Youth Parliament (MSYP) I discussed this issue with many young people who believed that ‘Flower of Scotland’ should be officially recognised as Scotland’s national anthem. Also, I have spoken to friends and family members who already think that ‘Flower of Scotland’ is Scotland’s official national anthem, just like many others across Scotland. I have also looked into the history of the Scottish Parliament’s role in recognising a national anthem for Scotland and realise that there has been much demand for Scotland to have an officially recognised national anthem for many years now. This year’s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow showed why ‘Flower of Scotland’ should be recognised as Scotland’s national anthem as the incredible passion of the athletes and spectators singing the song was unbelievable. Also, ‘Flower of Scotland’ is performed with passion before and during football and rugby union matches at Hampden and Murrayfield respectively. I have also looked at many opinions polls regarding an official national anthem for Scotland and these show that ‘Flower of Scotland’ is by far the most popular choice and now is the time to officially recognise it as Scotland’s national anthem. Petition background information ‘Flower of Scotland’ also known as ‘Flùr na h-Alba’ in Scottish Gaelic and ‘Flouer o Scotland’ in Scots is widely recognised as Scotland’s unofficial national anthem.
