Chinese Culture In Australia

The rapid growth of globalisation and internationalisation of trade in resources, especially human capital, has made managerial of culture differences ever so important as to understanding the different variables (Hofstede G, 2010). In this paper, the Power Distance Index (PDI) of both Chinese and aboriginal traditional cultural value and belief in family, social life and workplace is going to be examined under the scope of Hofstede’s dimensions. To a truthful stereotype, both culture heavily emphasis upon power distance in a form of age-grade social hierarchy, the variance in its operation however made these cultures unique. The value and beliefs of Confucianism has embedded upon every aspect of Chinese life, putting emphasis upon power

The concept of values that pertain to a family unit is, in some respects, is just that: a concept. These values are largely inherent, understood on an emotional level, unspoken and passed down through the generations based on personal experience. So, my main values are of unity, determination, collectively working, sharing responsibility and

Values mean different things to different people as they have differing beliefs and values. After this book was published, people’s values may have changed as they realized they have had the wrong values and priorities, and needed a change.

Family values are ideals that are learned traditionally in a family and are reinforced within the familial unit. Family values can be very diverse between different cultures. Some of these family values are the way children are raised, discipline, gender roles in the family, and the way families choose to live.

This gives the implication that values can differ from person to person, so it is therefore important to identify and understand one’s own values in order to work effectively in the field.

Gender issues are central to any culture, because gender is a fundamental means of understanding social reality. Both Australian and Chinese cultures are patriarchal in nature. Last names are carried through the male, not the female. Stereotypes about gender abound in both Australian and Chinese societies. In both Chinese and Australian cultures, it is more likely for a man to be in a position of economic or political power than a woman. Women are more likely to tend to domestic labor. However, Australian culture is more gender egalitarian than Chinese culture. The one-child policy in China has made it so that many families will abort female children in order to have a male child. This would not be considered an ethical

The Chinese people that came to Australia were typically men brining there family over with them to work for an income that would be big enough to support them. The wife however was left at home to forfill the role of looking after her in-laws in this time. The family would have to work for them aswell, and send a percentage of there profit over.

There was more or less no assistance of any kind given to the Chinese migrants, as immigration was rather a haphazard affair in the 19th century (especially to an isolated young country like Australia) and the level of racism encountered by Chinese prospectors on arrival made goldmining and making a living in Australia even harder.

Chinese Presence in Australia by Andrew Tran During the late 1800s, many Chinese came to Australia in search of freedom and wealth. However, when the Chinese arrived to Australia, they were treated with great hostility, racism and resentment from the European society. This was due to the very strange and unusual Chinese customs that the Australians/Europeans saw. Soon, the Australian government introduced the ‘White Australia Policy.’

The Vietnamese arrival and settlement process provides an almost quintessential case of cultures in collision, emerging from a situation of distance and ignorance, to one of racial bonding, cultural communication and cooperation and developing forms of hybridity.

It is true that you can find some similarities between the countries of China and Norway, even so, these two nations have a lot of differences. To start, I will talk about each country’s physical shape. When you look at the world’s fourth largest country in China, you’ll notice that part of the Himalayas spreads through China, making it home to many mountains. This can be compared to Norway’s Scandinavian Mountains – which stands at 2,469 meters tall. Even though the two nations are similar in this way, Norway has physical landforms that aren’t common in China. These landforms are called Fjords. A fjord is “a long, narrow, deep inlet of the sea between high cliffs.” Norway has 1,190 fjords in total, making its physical landform stand out from China’s significantly.

Since then throughout Australia it has evolved in different cultures and in different ways. They can be thought back to the values of their own societies. In no part of Australian culture are gender roles put in its place, and the continuing ways that gender roles are evolving and will be highly interesting to men and women. Yet a few cultures are resistant to making changes and changing their traditions. Men and women undergo different tasks in some

To best compare and contrast my chosen CALD groups, the cultures of the Aboriginal and Chinese people, I focused my research and analysis on the dimensions of individualism vs collectivism and communitarianism.

When raising a child one is taught values by their families that they feel are important for their child to have. I believe that family values consist of certain actions and qualities that are important to a family to uphold. Values that are important in my family are honesty, trust and to have respect for others. Each of these values is equally important in my family. They played a big role into making me the person I am now.

Family Values are derived from the fundamental beliefs of the parents, who use them to educate their children. These are the basic principles and guidelines of our original behavior in society, and are conveyed through our behaviors in the family, from the simplest to the most complex.
