1.
Orville and Wilbur Wright were brothers living in Dayton, Ohio. The two had started making
bicycles during the 1890s and had a successful small business selling their Wright Specials
for $18 each ($475 in today’s green). This experience with building light, strong machines
would prove valuable in the coming years after the brothers’ interest turned to flight.
Others in the United States were also developing aircraft at the time the Wright brothers
started turning their curiosity skyward. Samuel Langley had flown an unmanned steam-
powered aircraft in 1896. Octave Chanute and others were flying gliders near Chicago late in
the decade as well. But it wasn’t until the Wright brothers started working on the matter that
the “flying problem” would finally be solved.
Beginning in 1899, the brothers designed and built a series of gliders to test their various
ideas on a flying machine. They constructed a wind tunnel that allowed them to test designs
without having to build a full-size model. They even built their own gasoline-powered motor
for their aircraft.

Wright Specials bicycles and their experience of building light, strong machines made their

solved the flying problem by designing and building a series of gliders, a prototype of a wind
tunnel for testing designs and their own gasoline-powered motor for their aircraft.

We live in an ageing world. While this has been recognized for some time in developed
countries, it is only recently that this phenomenon has been fully acknowledged. Global
communication is "shrinking" the world, and global ageing is "maturing" it. The increasing
presence of older persons in the world is making people of all ages more aware that we live in
a diverse and multigenerational society. It is no longer possible to ignore ageing, regardless
of whether one views it positively or negatively.
Demographers note that if current trends in ageing continue as predicted, a demographic
revolution, wherein the proportions of the young and the old will undergo a historic
crossover, will be felt in just three generations. This portrait of change in the world's
population parallels the magnitude of the industrial revolution - traditionally considered the
most significant social and economic breakthrough in the history of humankind since the
Neolithic period. It marked the beginning of a sustained movement towards modern
economic growth in much the same way that globalization is today marking an
unprecedented and sustained movement toward a "global culture". The demographic
revolution, it is envisaged, will be at least as powerful.
While the future effects are not known, a likely scenario is one where both the challenges as
well as the opportunities will emerge from a vessel into which exploration and research,
dialogue and debate are poured. Challenges arise as social and economic structures try to
adjust to the simultaneous phenomenon of diminishing young cohorts with rising older ones,
and opportunities present themselves in the sheer number of older individuals and the vast
resources societies stand to gain from their contribution.
This ageing of the population permeates all social, economic and cultural spheres.
Revolutionary change calls for new, revolutionary thinking, which can position policy
formulation and implementation on sounder footing. In our ageing world, new thinking
requires that we view ageing as lifelong and society-wide phenomenon, not a phenomenon
exclusively pertaining to older persons.

My Answer:
We live in an ageing world which has been recognized for some time in developed countries
and has been fully acknowledged, however, global communication is "shrinking" the world,
and global ageing is "maturing" it with permeating all social, economic and cultural spheres,
therefore, revolutionary change calls for new, revolutionary thinking, which can position
policy formulation and implementation on sounder footing that view ageing as a phenomenon
for lifelong and society-wide not exclusively pertaining to older persons.

In its periodic quest for culinary identity, Australia automatically looks to its indigenous
ingredients, the foods that are native to this country. ‘There can be little doubt that using an
indigenous product must qualify a dish as Australian’, notes Stephanie Alexander. Similarly,
and without qualification, Cherikoff states that ‘A uniquely Australian food culture can only
be based upon foods indigenous to this country’, although, as Craw remarks, proposing
Australian native foods as national symbols relies more upon their association with ‘nature’
and geographic origin than on common usage. Notwithstanding the lack of justification for
the premise that national dishes are, of necessity, founded on ingredients native to the
country—after all, Italy’s gastronomic identity is tied to the non-indigenous tomato,
Thailand’s to the non-indigenous chili—the reality is that Australians do not eat indigenous
foods in significant quantities. The exceptions are fish, crustaceans and shellfish from oceans,
rivers and lakes, most of which are unarguably unique to this country. Despite valiant and
well-intentioned efforts today at promoting and encouraging the consumption of native
resources, bush foods are not harvested or produced in sufficient quantities for them to be a
standard component of Australian diets, nor are they generally accessible. Indigenous foods
are less relevant to Australian identity today than lamb and passionfruit, both initially
imported and now naturalised.
