The Immigration Restriction Act

The Immigration Restriction Act was in 1901 were the act of Parliament of Australia were they limited the immigration of people coming to Australia. It was also made illegal for immigrants to come and if they did they’d be deported out of the country. The act at the time stopped may people coming to Australia and also the starting of the ‘Dictation test’. The dictation test is mainly were people, not necessarily English people, some of the European language, at the option of becoming an immigration officer. The test was mainly used in Western Australia, New South Wales and Tasmania; the test won’t be any longer than 50 words long but sometimes very difficult. The dictation test gave the officers a chance to evaluate the participants on the basis of language skills and also gave the person a chance of failing, as the test was that challenging many people failed. The immigration act gave some people who knew the English language well to come into Australia.

Definition of Egalitarianism

Egalitarianism is the fairness of mankind and the appeal of governmental, economic and social equality. Egalitarianism is about equality of all people.  The fairness of everyone in the society today, the public equality and financial fairness.  A simple definition of egalitarianism is basically everything equal for everyone. 

The difference in houses from 1900's to 2000's.

The changes in the houses from 1900 and 2000’s have changed massively due to closer to the years of 2000 the technology would have been more improved than earlier in life. Technology improving over the years has made it more possible for builders to work on houses faster and make them better for people to live in longer.  The houses today are more modern than in the 1900’s and due to the lack of knowledge they had one how they could develop the houses to make them last longer and look better in the 1900’s would of looked more like the did in 2000’s.

Builders in 2000’s have had more skills and knowledge of what to make a long lasting house.  Houses in 1900’s weren’t as long lasting and the material used is obviously very different and is a part of why they don’t last as long.

In the pictures shown there is clearly a difference in the design and the way it was build it is obvious how different they are. Houses are visibly different in many ways and as some shown in the pictures of the different houses in 1900’s and 2000’s.
