Cronulla Riots
Australia like many other nations has been through ups and downs in improving national cohesion. However, the year 2005 has remained to be among the darkest times to have hit Australia. The Cronulla riots hit Australia as a surprise, and a major blow hit the attempt to promote a united nation. The details of the Cronulla riots have, however, not been clear due to the different explanations given by different individuals. The main victims of the Cronulla riots were the men of the Middle Eastern appearance who were accused of immigrating to Australia. The Cronulla Riots occurred after a series of ethnic and racial tensions that had run for a long time between the Caucasian Australians and the Men of Eastern appearance who were mainly young men.
The Cronulla riots were the climax of a tension that existed between the Caucasian Australians and the Men of Eastern appearance. On the 4th December 2005, two surf lifesavers were assaulted after a verbal altercation between the two groups. One of the lifesavers was bashed, leading to the eruption of serious riots. The attack on the lifesavers was followed by a series of text messages that were aimed at inciting a racial confrontation.
Attacks were reported on individuals who were suspected to be of Eastern appearance. The form of attacks involved masses of angry people chasing the targets. The police were forced to form lines between the attackers and the victims to avoid having more casualties. Three days were enough to calm the situation, although the days have remained memorable to the Australians.
Reflection
Preparing a Multimodal presentation is not the easiest task for a student. However, the presentation might well be exemplary with proper adherence to guidelines while preparing the digital presentation texts. First, a multimodal presentation is based on a clear understanding of the topic of interest. For example, a present should popularize with the topic being tackled. In this case, the Cronulla riots present a topic that has a lot of information and can be tackled without many challenges. The understanding of a topic involves the ability to answer any question that may come from the audience concerning the topic. Therefore, the first step before preparing the final presentation was to have a clear understanding of the topic.
The research done concerning the topic of interest should ensure that crucial details are not left out. For example, the date of the event brings out the topic should be clear, or where the presenter has not included, be in a position to answer any question concerning the timelines. In this case, however, the Cronulla riots have been dated back to the year 2005. Also, the cause of the riot has been clearly defined to ensure that the audience is well informed after the presentation.
The main objective of any presenter is to leave the audience with the least possible number of questions. Therefore, the information presented in the slides is not complex and takes care of the interests of everyone in the audience. Finally, the presentation skills are certain to be a key consideration while preparing for the presentation.
