1 Universal Rights - Singular Culture: On the Clash of Civilisations John Carroll , 2006 single work essay
— Appears in: Making Waves : 10 Years of the Byron Bay Writers' Festival 2006; (p. 96-105) Carroll argues that: 'It is the business of each culture, at home in its own backyard, to cultivate its singular understandings of mortal life. It is the business of all humans, wherever they dwell, to defend cardinal moral laws and universal human rights. Then, civilisations will be more likely to cohabit than clash.'
1 The Blessed Country John Carroll , 2006 single work essay
— Appears in: Reflected Light : La Trobe Essays 2006; (p. 21-38) Carroll argues that 'Terra Australis resists mapping. Yet in its own way it indicates to its new inhabitants that they will be favoured once they find their right relationships to it. At work, play or in everyday reverie those who dwell here might then come to find themselves supported, as by a benign presence. The country provides humans with a place simply to be. It offers its blessing.' (p.38)
