On the surface, for me Australia seems to be a successful multi – cultural nation. However, on closer readings and lectures on NSB 017 Diversity and Health Cultural Safety Indigenous Perspectives subject in first semester, it is evident that there are many inequalities that exist in the country between indigenous Australians and non-indigenous Australians (Ramsden, 2002). As an international student I found this subject to be extremely interesting and challenging. Learning the significance of cultural differences is an important aspect of nursing practice everywhere. On the other hand, I found unexpected negative issues related to indigenous Australians who suffer major difficulties in all aspects of their

Cultural competence is about having awareness, respect and understanding about the diversity around you. Cultural competence is one of the eight key practices that the early years learning framework features as vital to support a child’s learning. Cultural competence is about learning and building an understanding about different cultures while being respectful and open about different cultures and the people within them.

Indonesia is now the 15th largest economy on the planet with a global output of just under 1.5% but is expected to rise in the coming years. Manufacturing is the largest single component of Indonesia’s economy with its main exports including crude petroleum and natural gas as well as rubber, coffee, cocoa and palm oil while Australia mostly benefits from exporting mineral fuels, gems, precious metals and meat. Indonesia received $187.3 billion USD from exports in 2012 ranking it 27th in profit from global exports but Australia placed 22nd and profited a total of $257.9 billion USD from its exports leaving Indonesia in the dust. Although Indonesia has showed significant growth recently their quality of life is still worse than Australia’s due to a lower Gross Domestic Product or GDP. GDP is the total value of goods produced and services provided within a country in the duration of a year and determines the strength of a countries currency.

My understanding is that- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander refers to persons of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander descent, who are accepted as such by the community in which they live. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples have their own beliefs and are spiritually connected to the land, sea, sky and waterways. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples ways of life are expressed through ways of being, knowing, thinking and doing. They also have very strong kinship relationship with their families.

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.

Australian society? Nature has its own identity, culture and language to which they abide by, only humans demand and set identity, culture and language rules, to suit their need of the era. Language and culture are dependent on each other, without either you have no identity. Humanity and religion have set rules for males, females, the young and the old.

Indonesia is the sixteenth largest economy, the largest economy in the South-east Asian economic region with the world's fourth largest population (263 million in 2017). It is an emerging economy that has increased its international integration, trade liberalisation and diverted from policies of import substitution towards export-led development. Indonesia is a member of the Group of 20 (G20) major economies and has been an active founding member of the World Trade Organisation (WTO). The impact of globalisation has benefited Indonesia as quality of life indicators and economic developments have improved but it also presents the challenge of improving regulations, building more competitive industries, increasing investment into education and infrastructure to remain competitive. Consequently, Indonesia has introduced numerous strategies to promote economic growth and development.

My thesis is there has to be a type of culture in the society you belong in. How does culture enhance economics or trade? How does the surrounding culture affect your culture such as slave-to-slave owner?

Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago and is the fourth most populous island in the world. There are a total of 17,508 islands and nearly 6,000 islands remain uninhabited. It is nearly three times the size of Texas. The U.S. is five times the size of Indonesia. There are five large islands that include: Java, Sumatera, Papau, Kalimantan, and Sulawesi. Although, Bali and Komodo islands are more well known to tourists. The country can be observed in two parts: Western and Eastern. The western side is where over 80 percent of Indonesia’s total GDP is obtained and the western side is located near Malaysia and Singapore. The eastern side is more remote and less densely populated.

According to Professor James Liu “New Zealand is “demographically multicultural, formally bicultural, and with few exceptions, institutionally mono-cultural.” What does he mean and to what extent do current and recent policy controversies suggest that cultural tension remains a significant challenge in New Zealand?

After the 1998 crisis, Indonesia’s economy is known to be quite resilient with a persistent positive economic growth. However, Indonesia is still suffering from an infrastructure gap. Underinvestment in infrastructure, mainly in transportation has left the country with huge burden of logistic cost for the people. Under the current Joko “Jokowi” Widodo administration, Indonesia is now focusing on gaining back fiscal space to provide more funding for its infrastructure. In general, the government needs funds for infrastructure development is 4,796 trillion IDR. With a very tight fiscal space, the state budget leave 15 percent of it for the development that is only able to cover the 2,817 trillion IDR (Morris & Tsjin, 2015).
