Stereotypes Of Australia

Mateship. Adventurous. Loyal. Free. Proud. These are the typical words Australians use to describe themselves, to identify themselves as different from the rest of the world. But who is an Australian? Someone that was born in Australia? Only people we choose to call Australian? People with great achievements that we choose to take credit for? Only people that love sport and vegemite? Or maybe only people with ‘Aussie’ accents? The Australian population is a proud one indeed, proud of their nation, their achievements and their own independent way of life, but sometimes us Aussies, forget about the rest of the world and all those other people that make us, who we are.

Australia is a nation without limits scene, society and more rooted archaic rich economies in the world. Australia is the sixth largest country in area and is the main country to represent an entire land mass. A wonderful native habitat caliber of different qualities and extraordinary life, Australia is a destination for travelers from all over the world and 10 percent of biodiversity in the world and an impressive number of local plants and creatures he n ' There is no other place on earth. Rainforest in the north to the red deserts of the interior, the snowfields of the Australian Antarctic Territory in the southeast, is a vast region and changed. Australia is home to one of the most experienced companies in the world living with indigenous

It would be too simplistic to claim that the true Australian identity could be defined by examining the indigenous communities that existed before European settlement. It is also unrealistic to just focus on British colonies that developed from convict settlements or the towns that attracted free settlers from Britain and Europe who were seeking a better life. Perhaps the only idea which can be retained from these early times is the concept of seeking a better, which is a common aspect of Australian identity within those who have come from across the seas to Australia. Those who came during the Gold Rushes, the bushrangers who lived a life of crime, the Europeans who fled poverty or the evil of World War One or two, all held onto the idea that Australia provided an opportunity for something better. This is something that was present hundreds of years ago and is still present in those who come from Asia or Middle East by boat every year risking their lives. This concept is presented through the character of Ricky Wong in we can be heroes who is doing a PhD in physics and aiming at becoming an actor. Ricky proves that it is a part of Australian identity to hope of a better life and to explore as many opportunities as possible. So this is another aspect of our identity, the courage to face challenge and take risks is a quality that many Australians value and

I see Australia’s national identity as a facade of hastily formed stereotypes. Exclusive and outdated they breed beasts of nationalism, racism, and imitation.

A key element of what is presented to be the Australian character is that of camaraderie, base friendliness towards everybody, and egalitarianism, the belief that everybody is equal and should have the same opportunities, treatment, etc. as everybody else. As such, Australians are very supportive of democracy, compulsory voting, and are generally, in most cases, unprejudiced towards each other based on such trivialities as, for example, social class – everybody will kick back together at the pub for a ‘coldie' in that ‘typical Aussie scene', described so well in the quote by Australian legend Henry Lawson, one of the best-known Australian poets and fiction writers of the colonial

Australia was colonised by Britain in 1778, and this triggered immigration from Europe and the United Kingdom. Since then, Australia has seen patterns of people from all over the world coming in waves to start a life here, for reasons such as wanting to improve their quality

Aboriginal people have diverse relationships with connections and understandings of the Australian environment. Some of there relationships are based on the traditional knowledges and practices that have been passed down from generation to generation while others are a direct result from recent colonisation. Relationships to country are complex and interrelated, and when establishing the Aboriginal understanding of country, it is vital to look beyond the term itself.

In order to have a strong society that is able to meet challenges, Australias system of government is based upon core beliefes and attitudes that are respected by most members of the community in Australias democratic society. For example, our society is based on prevailing beliefes that the people, in free and fair elections, will elect a government that premotes freedom, tolerance and cooperation of the people by upholding basic human rights. Australia’s institutions and practices reflect British and North American traditions combined in a way that is unique to Australia and its people. We are lucky in Australia to have so many rights and freedoms that a lot of other countries around the world do not get to experience. An example of this

Australia has a very similar, but also different background. “[It was] something of the global diaspora of British culture and it’s creative encounter with two quite different environments.” Both cultures have proved to be very different over the last few decades, but both countries have had to face the consequences of overthrowing confinements of provincialism. They have each created their own identities, but can share the common interest of being culturally diverse while having a background in British culture. The country, of Australia, began, much like America, with a group of British societies settling down and destroying the world that had been created by the aboriginal people who were already there. Both countries are different, but also similar in some ways.

Australia, officially known as the Commonwealth of Australia is a country surrounded by water, consisting of the mainland continent of Australia, the Island of Tasmania, and several smaller islands. By total area Australia is the world’s sixth largest country. Australia is a highly developed country and one of the wealthiest in the world. Throughout the history of the country, Australia has continuously grown stronger and stronger. We will discuss the history, politics, economics, and the military forces that make Australia such a strong nation.

For so long, Australia has had a reputation knee-deep in racial discrimination and hostility. ‘The White Australia policy’ and ‘the Dictation Test’ are two of many causes to the negative misshape of how the world now sees the Australian nation.

Australia is a large and diverse country, and every five years, the Census aims to gather information from every citizen across the country. The census looks at the characteristics of the ‘typical’ Australian. However, the fact that no-one meets all the criteria of the average Australian shows the considerable, growing diversity of the country.

After the landing of the First Fleet in Australia in 1788 and the establishment of the penal colony the image of Australia underwent a lot of change over time. Between the years 1830 and 1850 the image of Australia was changed to a more complimentary one. A favourable depiction of the native born currency lads, who seemed not to have inherited their father’s sins led to the image of Australia as a land of opportunity for the ex-convicts and England’s surplus population. During this time there was a major tussle between the impulse to be distinctively Australian and the lingering sense of British heritage in creating the Australian cultural identity. But they were also seen as part of a new group of transplanted, predominantly Anglo Saxon emigrant societies, with the likes of USA and Canada. Many felt that just as America had seperated from Britain, Australia would also follow suit. This is often regarded as the context from where an incipient Australian Cultural Nationalism

They have most of the very same principles such as freedom of speech, freedom of religion, democracy and equal opportunities. They are free to live where they want on the land but most live in the cities. Australia is a very multicultural country and there is no segregation between people and no formal class such as rich and poor. Australia’s culture is learned through the freedom they have to live as they want and praise any god they chose. The culture is shared among all of the people. They share a culture and have the ability to fight for their country to keep it safe. They are integrated through the many different types of people that migrated there through the years. The culture is so dynamic because they have a free country. A country to most people would want to live in. It is very much like the United States and that is a large reason why so many people want in a free

I am the Emperor of Australia! This area is unique because it is surrounded by water on every side, which is great for agriculture and protection. Another unique thing about Australia is that it has many rivers were are great for trade and commerce. One last unique thing about is that it has many vast plains but also has a number of great mountain ranges wich are also great for protection.
