Cultural Differences Between Australia And New Guinea

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

Diamond believes that the main reason why people were able to create such a great civilization in Middle East is because they had over produced food so people were able to specialize in labor and produce military, leaders, architects, art and such. But why New Guineans were not able to do the same?

Australia boasts one of the world's most multicultural societies. Therefore, it can be difficult to pinpoint what being "Australian" really is, or to define Australian culture. The best way to approach an analysis of Australian culture may be to compare it with another culture. Chinese culture is equally as complex and diverse as Australian culture, as both countries have a large variety of ethnic groups within their borders. However, in terms of the many aspects of culture such as meaning, language, human activity, lifestyle, works of art, and leisure activities, Australian and Chinese cultures differ from one another. Some of the aspects of culture that differ the most between Australian and Chinese societies include gender, lifestyle, and language.

Diamond uses the Darwinism approach to explore the theory of human existence as he explained how humans evolved from apes and then later evolved into humans, which gives readers a perspective on the Darwinism theory. After Diamond discuss the Darwinism theory, he goes on to state how five continents developed and talks about the settlement of the first people. Austria and New Guinea were one of the first places humans occupied. Australia and New Guinea were not settled until the last Great Leap Forward (44). When the leap forward occurred humans started to live in in Australia and New Guiana which were a joined continent at the time because ocean levels were low. New Guiana and Australia were one of the most developed continents before the creation of other continents. Diamond argues that Australia and New Guinea had the earliest watercrafts in the world, and many were creating paintings as early as the Cro-Magnons in Europe and Australia. New Guinea had the power to develop faster than all the other continents, but environmental factors took place causing the downfall of the two. As Diamond refers to New Guinea and Australia, he also refers to the discovery of the Americas and the first colonization. He then discusses the discovery of Eurasia as a single continent. Because Antarctica was not discovered until the 19th century, Diamond chose to omit Antarctica. Readers learn that there was an extinction of large animals throughout the continents such as Australia

Inigenous cultures of Australia and Oceania has chaged the environments in whch they lived in. the difference between New Zealand, Australia and Oceania is that Australia is a country ,Oceania is a group of isands, and New Zealand comes from the Pacific islands. what Australia and New Zealand are two countries located in the Oceania in the Southern Hemisphere. when they explored the South Pacific polynesians brought agriculture to isolated

A biologist in training, a specialist in human physiology, and a professor at UCLA in Los Angeles are only one of the many occupations Jared Diamond, writer of the “Guns, Germs, and Steel” book has. Diamond is the leading expert on the bird life on the island of Papua New Guinea where he would travel regularly, he travelled to Papua New Guinea when he was twenty-six years old, his real passion had always been the study of birds. More than thirty years ago, Diamond was asked by a man called Yali, “why you white men have so much cargo, and we New Guineans have so little?” That made Diamond critically think. He went on a journey that took him nearly thirty years to find reasons what is it dividing the humans from rich to poor and as to why Europeans

The novel Guns, Germs, and Steel, written by Jared Diamond, is a 1997 non-fiction that describes the fate of human societies through a geographically based natural experiment (Diamond, Jared). It portrays how varying geography affects its culture, and how the availability of natural resources and the clash of different societies resulted in the supremacy of some societies, at the collapse of others. The rise of the primacy began in the 16th century, on a series of islands known as the chatham islands (Diamond, Jared M). Near the border of New Zealand, the chatham islands in the --__ was the home to a group of indigenous Polynesian people known as the Maori. In the ____, a portion of the Maori population traveled to an uninhabited island of

Diamond deduced that Europeans were only able to conquer the world because they possessed the agents of conquest: steel, germs and guns. Diamond believes that geographical inequality is the sole cause for the discrepancy in development between western nations and the impoverished regions. The development of productive farming enabled certain civilizations to develop specialized skills such as writing, trade and politics. As a result, most of technology that developed from these endeavors spread evenly through Europe and Asia. Isolated regions and islands such as the Inca and Papua New Guinea were left unexposed to these advancements.

weekly). However, whichever one of you has the higher income, will have to pay more Income Tax to repay the portion of Child Benefit you’re no longer entitled to.” (Money Advice Service) Comparison All 3 countries, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom offer different variations of the same tax credit that helps families with children afford their needs. In comparison New Zealand, Australia has very similar requirements that make people eligible for this tax credit.

Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs, and Steel opens with a preface in which the creator shows an inquiry from a New Guinean legislator and companion named Yali: why were Europeans ready to vanquish such a variety of different social orders the world over? In the creator's perspective, the inquiry is similar to this: - How did the European whites accomplish a wide range of improvement, while the dim cleaned individuals didn't? The book goes ahead to examine the response to this inquiry, endeavoring to give clarifications to why Eurasian people groups added to the horticulture, innovation, and pathogens that empowered them to extend their impact far and wide. The least complex response to this inquiry is riches and influence. In any case, there is a

Technological differences of course, which takes us back to when it all began in 11,000 BCE. At this time, everyone were hunter-gatherers, pretty much equal, and were all at the same stage of development. To try to answer Yali's question, some people took offense at the question for different reasons, one for example; "If we succeed in explaining how some people came to dominate other people, may this not seem to justify the domination?"(pg.17) When Diamond suggest that New Guineans were smarter than Westerners is because New Guinean children spend their days actively outside talking to others or playing with other children and they know more about how to survive in devastating situations whereas Westerners are more so entertained by television and spend hours glued to

In the article, The People of the Lower Arafundi: Tropical Foragers of the New Guinea Rainforest, Roscoe explains that although the Sepik Basin of New Guinea is very small, populating only 300,000 to 500,000 people, it is one of the most linguistically diverse places on Earth; the population speaking well over 200 languages. Roscoe wrote this article specifically to show that work in the Sepik Basin of New Guinea has been heavily biased towards the regions more dense communities by using archival documentation, provided by the Ulrike class, as well as the results of rapid ethnographic surveys to reconstruct the contact. Many anthropologists seem to overlook Sepki’s less elaborate cultures, like the Lower Arafundi people of the East Speki

People in Papua New Guinea used stone tools in 1960 while in America we were able to shop for groceries and buy metal tools. How did countries like Papua New Guinea become so unequal to other countries such as the Fertile Crescent. Europeans had Fertile Crescent (Eurasia) that let them conquer other cultures and take their supplies. Eurasia had the agriculture, domesticated animals, the immunity for germs and the steel.

What led Professor Diamond to explore the disparity in the technological and industrial progress of countries in Eurasia, was his encounter in Papa New Guinea, after staying with the people there, it seems that they are capable and hardworking, yet the Westerner had more “cargoes” or things that they do not have. From the nutritious crop of

Cultural changes are cause by many different factors. Some of these factors are caused internally and externally. The people the changes affect usually have no say so of the matter and eventually have to adapt under the circumstances. I am going to address 3 specific forces of change. These forces of change impact several cultures, but it various ways. The people of Indigenous Australia, Minangkabau, and San/Ju’Hoansi are great examples of cultures that were forcibly changed. In this essay I will explain what forces of change each of these cultures endured, how it affected them negatively and positively, and how each of these cultures compare and contrasts to each other.
