LITERATURE REVIEW:Write a 3 to 4 page literature review based on aminimumofeight sources: empirical articles reporting the results oforiginal, primary research, found inpeer reviewed, scholarly journals. The topic should be narrowed by reviewing the literature, so start broadly. It must be approved by me. You may choose qualitative and / or quantitative articles. You may choose a topic within your area of specializationwithin the social sciences. Think of your literature review as the introduction to a larger work on the topic. It should:
1)Highlight the importance of the subject(why is it important to study this topic?). a.Define or identify the general topic,issue,or area of concern, thus providing an appropriate context for reviewing the literature. b.Make sure you start with a thesis statement: Take a critical point of view about the literature–some perspective from which you organize your review.Note:You can only do thisafteryou have spent considerable time analyzing your literature!
2)Situate your topic within the wider body of scholarly literature(historical time period,place, culture). Point out trends in what has been published about the topic; or conflicts in theory, methodology, evidence, and conclusions; or gaps in research and scholarship; or a single problem or new perspective of immediate interest.
3)Describe and critically assess: a.The major theoretical approaches to the topic. b.The main empirical findings of the body of research on your topic. Summarize major contributions in the area, maintaining the focus established in the introduction–in other words, do not list the results of the studies one by one, but group similar results together. Or, demonstrate that findings are not similar, and point out the ways in which they differ, and why (different methodologies, samples, theoretical assumptions, etc.). c.The methods used to study the subject, including an assessment of whether these methods affect the outcomes (that is, if you studied the topic using different methods, would the results be different?) d.To the extent you can with your small number of sources, evaluate the current “state of the art” for the body of knowledge reviewed, pointing out major methodological flaws or gaps in research, inconsistencies in theory and findings, and areas or issues pertinent to future study. Eight studies are not enough to be really certain about your findings, but do what you can. Qualify your analysis with statements like “based on the small number of studies reviewed, this area appears to neglect X” or “The major strength of this body of research is …” or “The findings in this area fall into three major groups …” In other words, acknowledge the limitations of what you are doing.
4)Use aminimumofeight primary research sourcesdrawn from the social science literature (this can include criminology, political studies, global studies, etc.). Primary sources are those where the authors present the results oftheir own original research. You may also use other non-peer reviewed articles in your discussion,in addition tothe eight key sources.
5)Avoid articles that are drawn from the pure science and medicine literature–journals such asScience, Nature, The New England Journal of Medicine, etc. (unless the articles are clearly social science in focus–check with me first).
6)Include the abstract and citation information as an addendum to your References if it has not been reviewed by me in the uploaded Draft Bibliography.

REFLECTION: The importance of Australia’s First Peoples in Australian history and culture.
Task Description:
You are required to provide a position statement of 500 words to reflect on the importance of Australia’s First Peoples in Australian history and culture.
You will need to choose one of the topics below to respond to:
OPTION A:
The importance of awareness and appreciation of Australia’s First Peoples
Discuss the importance of awareness,appreciation and inclusion of Australia’s First Peoples to the history and culture of Australia.
Outline recommendations and priorities for Australia to continue to strengthen their relationship with Australia’s First Peoples
OPTION B:
The relationship between Australia’s First Peoples and mainstream Australia over time
Discuss the drivers of the changing relationships between mainstream Australia (government, non-Indigenous business & people) and Australia’s First Peoples.
Outline recommendations and priorities for Australia to continue to strengthen their relationship with Australia’s First Peoples
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The aim of this exercise is to develop a short reflection that outlines your response to the questions. You will need to use literature to support your responses to the questions. When you present research, make sure you are critical- we discuss ‘being critical’ in our workshops. All research presented must be referenced properly referenced using APA referencing, with in-text references and a reference list.
Word limit: 500 words (+/-10%)
You require a minimum of four (4) sources. This can include journal articles, book chapters, government reports, websites and the modules.
In-text references ARE included in word limit
Do not use first person
The first three modules are very useful in completing this task. To reference module content, please use the following in your reference list:

Health Issues in Gender, Age and Ethnicity-Ethnic minority women and maternity care
2,000-word individual report. You will write a report discussing health inequities in relation to gender, age or ethnicity. You are required to choose one of the health issues listed below, explore the nature of health inequities in relation to gender, age or ethnicity, discuss policy addressing the inequities and make suggestions for improvement.
‘Access to health care’ could be interpreted as health care in general OR access to a specific treatment or specific service.
• You are required to:
• Choose a health issue that is closely related to gender, age or ethnicity-based inequities in health.
• Critically discuss the nature and the extent of health inequities in relation to gender, age or ethnicity.
• Demonstrate knowledge of relevant policy and make suggestions to address gaps in current policy.
KEY CRITERIA:
Think about discrimination in health care in relation to gender, age or ethnicity OR think about age, gender OR ethnicity-based disparities that exist in relation to specific health issues
• discuss a health issue related to gender, age or ethnicity-based inequities in health and inequality to the access of health care
• Explore the nature and the extent of health inequities in relation to the chosen health issue. The discussion must focus on health inequities related to gender, age or ethnicity.
• Discuss policy and legislations addressing the inequities (it is suggested that you explore developments in policy aimed at tackling the health inequities)
• You only need 1 variable (Age OR Gender OR Ethnicity)
• Make suggestions for improvement (find gaps and limitations of current policy and make suggestions for improvement)
• So, think about a health issue that is experienced differently by different age groups, different gender OR different ethnic groups.
• Discuss how the chosen topic is related to gender, age or ethnicity-based inequities in health (link your discussion to only ONE type of health inequity)
– Explore the nature and the extent of health inequities in relation to the chosen health issue. The discussion must focus on health inequities related to gender, age or ethnicity (you should focus on only ONE of the three variables).
– Discuss policy and legislation addressing the specific type of inequities and identify gaps in policy and legislation
(It is suggested that you explore developments in policy aimed at tackling the health inequities you discussed)
– Make suggestions for improvement that can fill the gaps in policy and legislation
• You must use a minimum of 10 academic sources (i.e., only peer-reviewed journal articles count). You are encouraged to carry out wider reading. On top of the 10 journal articles, you can also include books and other credible sources (e.g., reports from international organisations) but they will NOT be counted as part of your 10 academic sources.
• Ensure that all your sections are linked – e.g., if you chose a topic that is related to gender-based health inequity, you are expected to explore that topic from the gender-based health inequity perspective only. No other variables, such as age and ethnicity, are expected to be included in your work.
• Ensure that you include your in-text references. In all cases, in-text references must match up with what appears in your reference list. Every in-text citation/reference should correspond to a reference on the list at the end (and vice versa).
• You must use the Harvard referencing system. The University officially advises students to use the following website for referencing guidelines:
• No more than 5% of your work should be in the form of quotes.
• You must write in your own words. You are reminded that plagiarism of any type will be penalised and result in a fail.
• Now you must include the page number within the bracket of an in-text citation, when you paraphrase, or the page range, if you are summarising content of a couple or more pages.
