Cultural Differences In Australia

In comparison, knowledge and knowledge creation can be affected by cultural hegemony and ideologies which could call into question its value. Hegemony is the idea that people in power maintain power by influencing societies acceptance of their ideologies rather than using coercion (Rachar 2013, p. 238). In this time and age, this is performed by the control of media resources and Internet opinion (Kumar 2011, p.39). Media suppliers are highly experienced at emotive and persuasive content and reap the financial rewards of ratings (Edwards 2012, p. 69). In Australia, it is perhaps worth considering that a majority of our media, in particular, our newspapers are owned by companies such as Fairfax Media and News Corporation (Finkelstein 2012, p. 58).

Auburn is a suburb in western Sydney in the state of New South Wales Australia which had major changes that occurred over the years, the three major changes are transport population and culture.

Australia has been a culturally diverse society since long before white settlement. The indigenous people had many different cultures, languages and customs, even members of the First Fleet came from a number of culturally significant backgrounds. Diversity in Australia took large strides 67 years ago with the beginning of the Snowy River Scheme which promoted skilled immigrants to come here and work, because as a nation just after World War II we lacked the manpower and knowledge to complete such a large and complicated project.

In 1901, Australia’s Federation was concerned about the number of Chinese who made their way to Australia during the gold rushes, and ‘white’ Australia’s fear of being swamped by Asia. After the second World War, this perspective was a key element of Australia’s foreign policy. This fear of Asia was amplified once communism had grown to Asia and especially after 1949 when China had become a communist nation.

A potential cultural bias may affect treatment of ATSI parents of a child within care and may have detrimental effects to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents due to misinformed educators. Some groups of Australians believe, agree and/or choose to condone with common incorrect Aboriginal stereotypes, which depict Aboriginal Australians as alcoholics, drug users and an uneducated society. There are many stereotypes and labels that are placed upon this culture, most of which are common misconceptions and are due to extreme ignorance. It is of most utter importance that cultural history is acknowledged and taken into account. These cultures have been mis-treated throughout history, and it is only now we can make the change within future

In handling bilateral relationships, the Government often claims to have adopted an integrated approach taking into account the totality of Australian interests. But, a closer analyses of this claim reveals it would be almost impossible to meet the totality of Australia’s interests in any bilateral relationship and this is especially true of China which has such a different socio-political system. This close relationship continues to raise political questions for Australia to grapple with, such as her relations with Taiwan, Tibet and Chinese human rights issues. In some instances Australias interests will be confined mainly to trade and investment; in the more substantial bilateral relationships, the Government will implement comprehensive strategies

Kuwait is changing at a very fast pace. Its culture is being influenced by dominant cultures, and that is resulting in new culture based on new definitions and mentalities, such as Americanization. As a matter of fact, a friend of mine is so into American lifestyle or life in general, she listens only to American music and watches their movies. She is even thinking of getting married to an American guy! In “Bored with USA” Brendon O’Connor claims that Americanization is affecting on Australia in both negative and positive ways. In addition, in “In 2,000 Years, will the World Remember Disney or Plato?” Mark Rice-Oxley talks about both negative and positive sides of Americanization in the world. He claims that American Culture spread will not

The experience of Aboriginal Australians since European settlement is replete with suppression of their cultural practices and knowledge by the dominant cultural groups in Australia. In the first century of settlement, these included land dispossession by force, theft of women, slavery and war, introduced diseases, and the missionary zeal for Aboriginal people to embrace Western religion and reject their own spiritual beliefs such as the dreaming. Moreover, settlement brought with it the assertion of British sovereignty and law, which effectively displaced indigenous customary law in the 20th century, further intervention into Aboriginal culture and life was evidenced in the Government’s White Australia Policy and an explicit strategy of indigenous

The culture and social customs of Indians compared to Australians is very different. Different people in different societies have different culture and food, but they also have some similarities. The culture varies in different things such as clothes, foods, religion, and many others. Not only the culture but geographical and environmental setting is also playing main role. India is the world’s second largest country after china with 1.3 billion population, while Australia is the world’s smallest continent with 24 million population. The capital of India is New Delhi which is in the northern part of India. The capital of Australia is Canberra which is in northern end of Australia which is also called southwest Sydney. India is surrounded by three oceans namely Arabian ocean(west), Indian ocean(south), Bay of Bengal(east). Australia considered to be an island because it is surrounded by Indian ocean(west), coral seas(north), Pacific Ocean(east) and Tasman sea(south) (Everyculture.com). India is more vulnerable in climate changes, in India there were three main seasons, winter runs through January and march, summer runs through April and August and monsoon runs through September and December. Meanwhile, Australia is generally warm and dry all year round, with no extreme cold and rain (Foodbycountry.com). India suffers with environmental problems like water and air pollution, land damage, and water shortage, because there are no strict rules for environmental problems. While

Literatures are often impacted by the author’s gender, thought, age, and view and these points may appear on the stories, characters, settings, and words.

The Australian Aboriginal beliefs outline the nature of dreaming in relation to the origins of the universe. Australian Aboriginals have many stories about how the land became the way it is. They claim that there is not much support with where things actually came from. They tell stories about them walking and doing other things but since they can’t recall what ever happened when the universe began they don’t tell many stories about that. They do, however, tell stories about how the universe existed in some form but they don’t have an explanation for everything that has ever been created. Australian Aboriginals did not have a written calendar so it was up to scientists to find out how far back the Australian Aboriginal civilisation went,

So to communicate with each other and to appreciate and accept others’ beliefs, means that most people have to be considerate and have recognition for one another’s way of life. With over thirty-five languages spoken in Australia, most migrants learn to speak Australian after they come here, others have come from a multi-language speaking area, so that Australian is their second language. However, Australian Aboriginal people have approximately 50

The development in the progress of China, India and Indonesia benefits Australia and contributes significantly to regional stability which extends opportunities for a successful and reciprocating business partnership instead of being aid dependent. Australia’s economical national interest is directly linked to the success, stability and peaceful interactions of its neighbours because these countries are also the first line of defence against many negative issues which could affect Australia (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade 2016c). If these states remain to be wealthy and stable, they will respond better to efficiently to threats and complications in trade. In order to benefit from the trading relationships with the neighbouring countries, Australia needs to take advantage of the international economic opportunities and ensure we are focused on advancing in global economic, financial, investment and trade institutions. A globally integrated economy is crucial due to the growth which can be gained from an open trading system and foreign direct investment which secures our position in the economically advancing countries of the world and our own financial welfare (Wong 2017).

Australia is both the smallest and oldest continent in the world, and it is the only country that is also a continent. [1] It is an island located between the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific, just south of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. At 2,941,299 square miles, Australia is the sixth-largest country in the world and only about 150,000 square miles (about the size of Montana) smaller than the continental United States. Its interior land is a flat and sparsely populated desert, but as you move outward the climate changes to grassland, subtropical, tropical, and even temperate in the southeastern region. [1] While more than 70% of Australia is arid, the rest includes a variety of rich environments including flood plains,
