An apology is one of the most crucial ways to ensure that a relationship of one kind or another stays intact. Apologies are a surefire way to mend friendships and to regain trust, and in this case the apology is to the Aborigines of Australia. In this situation the impact on the Aborigines is quite large, however it makes Kevin Rudd and the population of Australia lower themselves until the are basically begging for forgiveness. This apology can't mend everyone's hearts but it can make a difference, this apology has made most Aborigines feel accepted by the new western community that inhabits Australia. Before this apology the Aborigines were still thought of as lower than white people, but now all people who live in Australia as thought of as equal. And that is why so many people are immigrating into Australia these days, because it's such a multicultural place; anyone and everyone is accepted. Kevin Rudd did make a difference to the Aboriginal community of Australia, and to the general community as well. His apology made a change for the better.

Upbeat interpretation. You write in absolutes - "all" people are now viewed equally. Can you be sure that this is an accurate statement? I think you need to write with a bit more depth Casey. Take a look again at the rubric and other people's postings in order to get an idea of how your classmates are using this forum. I am assessing your creative thinking, analytical skills, ability to use historical documents. Lengthier responses are expected.
