The Loss Of Australasia

During the years from 1914 - 1918 Australia was at constant battle all over the world fighting for the british. With battles deaths always follow. So many people say, “what did we ever gain from WW1 we lost so many people as a country”. Although we lost almost 60,000 men and 150,000 wounded or taken prisoner. After the war the British Government offered ex-servicemen free transportation to some of the colonies, 17,000 migrants arrived in Australia between 1919 and 1922. Community organisations paid for migrants to come over to Australia. Small numbers also arrived independently. It was also said that up to 300,000 men came over from britain post war to live. The British government gave an incentive to migrate over because so many people

The goods that could be harvested in Australia offered Britain a new resource for trade and its location also gave the empire new neighbors to trade with. It would also be a much cheaper form of production, bringing in more of a profit. This was a great incentive for the British, as it gave them new opportunities for wealth and power through commerce. Australia was located in a very different part of the world for them so it opened up trade with countries they were not able to trade with before such as China. There was also hope for lucrative trade with the Creole Spaniards for English manufacturers and an involvement with the fur trade as they were not far from the Aleutian and Foxes Islands between Asia and America. Basically a British colony on the east coast of New Holland opened up many doors to trading with China, East Indies, Cape of Good Hope, and the Spice Islands.

Not too many people wanted to migrate to Australia in the early days. Life was

Importantly for Australia has been the take over of land by the British under the doctrine of

As time progressed, colonists began to identify as Australian rather that British. During the time of federation over 80% of the population were Australian born. There were people

The Gold Rush made Australia largely colonised and continually expanding. In 1852, 370,000 immigrants arrived in Australia from many different countries. The economy boomed and many different cultures were introduced. Countries like England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, America, China and Germany showed up as the majority of diggers on the Australian census. The population continued to grow

Media sources in current culture are construed as important as they communicate the dominant ideology promoted by the bourgeois which the lower-class public should adhere to as the correct social norm (Kress, 1988). The medium which these ideologies are shown in are important, as different medium are used by different cultures. This essay will focus on comparing print with online media through analysing the Guardian and the Australian from August 31st. This will be done by looking at the types of news shown in each, the constraints and advantages of each medium, advertising, the concept of ownership, and the way the media convinces the public of their ideologies through hegemony.

The rate of Chinese migration alarmed Victorian government officials. According to the 1853 census, there were 2000 Chinese in the colony. At the beginning of 1855, there were 10,000 on the goldfields. During March 1854, four ships arrived bringing 1,400 Chinese. By June, the numbers had increased to 17,000.

The goldfields were discovered in 1848 but the gold rush started in 1851. The first amount of gold was found by Edward Hargraves. Many people travelled from all around the world in hopes that they would find a lot of gold and become rich. For many people that didn’t happen, only a few people found a good amount of gold. Between 1851 and 1861 Australia produced one third of its gold. On the goldfields there was discrimination against the chinses immigrants and the Aboriginals. The miners had to carry a miner licence with them when working on the goldfields. The miners didn’t like that idea and fought back to stop them from carry it around with them everywhere they went.

The phrase of globalisation is becoming very popular around the world, and it gives free movement to communicate with people regarding cultural, economic, social, technological, political, educational and businesses. In the modern society globalisation has impacted on many human lives, which started in the western countries in (1492), according to Kevin H. O'Rourke, Jeffrey G. Williamson, and then it expanded all over the world. The word of globalisation can describe many different aspects such as globalisation of nothing, the making of the global society and the globalisation of wealthy and poor. According to Robert Shuey in (2001), ‘’globalisation is widely and somewhat loosely used a term, intended to describe the recent and rapid process of international, economic, social, and political integration’’. The idea of his words that globalisation is giving an opportunity to people, so they can travel, invest internationally, and communicate this can help many businesses people especially in Australia to invest more widely and internationally. Globalisation has impacted on Australian society in all terms of life, for instance, it has an enormous impact on health and education system, on technology, and on the Australian economy. But one of the categories is increasing so widely among Australian people who affect many young people’s lives is the impact of racism on the health and wellbeing of young Australians. The word racism is the very phenomenon aspect in the Australian society, especially between young people. On the very high percentage of many young Australians are experiencing racism between the nation, most of these racists are because of skin colour, cultural beliefs, different traditions from different countries, speaking another language and gender. Racism plays a significant role in the society, and many people are aware of this because when they face radical discrimination from any individual, they feel angry and frustrated, and sometimes they feel of not belonging to the local community.

This essay analyses the Australian-China bilateral relationship since 1945 and in particular its political significance to Australia. Many global factors have influenced this relationship, including the advent of the Cold War, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the collapse of the Soviet bloc European nations. In addition, internal political changes in Australia and China have both affected and been affected by the global changes. It will be analysed that Australia’s bilateral relationship with China has always had a sharp political edge but that approaching the new millenium economics and trade considerations are shaping Australias and for that matter Chinese politics.

As a result,Aboriginal labour became more popular. The gold rushes saw the rise of loyal Aboriginal stockmen and jackaroos who were willing to work long and hard for perhaps less pay than their predecessors. Also,because major gold discoveries were made in Victoria,this newly separated state suddenly found itself very wealthy. Immigrantion

People began to arrive in far greater numbers. According to Immigration Heritage Center, between 1851 and 1861 over 600,000 came and while the majority were from Britain and Ireland, 60,000 came from Continental Europe, 42,000 from China, 10,000 from the United States and just over 5,000 from New Zealand and the South Pacific. Because of the push of western culture and the over control that Great Britain had, the land grab excluded the aborigines that had been Australia home for hundreds of years prior.

The effects of Globalisation on Australia can be disseminated into a number of different categories. For the purposes of this report five major categories including Economic, Social, Cultural, Environmental and Political have been explored and summarised but is by no means exhaustive.

The population in the Australian colonies grew, in New South Wales the population grew from 13,000 in the early 1800s to 180,000 in the mid-1800s, brought in a higher level of skills, and more demand for materials (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2012). With the amount of growth Australia had, all the industries grew, including wool, and with this growth provided more jobs, and filled labor demands. Along with the population growth, the growth of the wool industry brought great advances in the rest of the economy... and by 1850 was supplying well over 50 per cent of the British market for imported wool (Australian Bureau of Statistics,
