Australia And Cultural Diversity

Decent Essays
There are many advantages to Australia and their culture diversity to all countries and their citizens. Most Australian schools give the chance for students to learn different languages or more about their own. There is a wide range of languages students are able to learn such as Italian, Chinese, Japanese, French and many other languages. Not only do they learn the language but also their culture and traditions. Through this, learning different languages, gives the opportunity and enables us to travel to other countries, communicate with different people and also the chance to make new friends and learning more about the cultures. Another important advantage is friendship; Australia is learning the ideologies of different countries as it

It has been considered a key aspect of Australian national identity and often referred to as a ‘fair go’. This essay will argue that the idea of the ‘fair go’, while deeply set in Australian national identity, is more an ‘egalitarianism of manners’ (Hirst in Carter 2006, p. 360) than of outcomes. As Australia’s understanding of what egalitarian means has broadened, the idea that Australia is still egalitarian is only true to a limited extent.…

    The policies of Assimilation and Protectionism had detrimental impacts upon the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander (ATSI) communities throughout Australia prior to 1965. While Protectionism aimed to be a ‘smooth pillow to die on’, the policy of Assimilation culturally mixed the races. Assimilation was a policy implemented by the Australian Government which integrated ATSI into the Australian Society, this policy aimed to make Aboriginals ‘similar’ to white Australians and culturally mixed. As a result, this policy would extend the language, culture, beliefs, clothing and manner of living of the ATSI race but would genetically ‘die out’ through natural elimination. The most tragic aspect of the policy of Assimilation was legalised kidnapping which contributed to the ‘Stolen Generation’, this event makes clear that the ATSI faced a loss of identity, beliefs/spiritual, connection, bonds/ties, culture, taken from family such as biological parents, and a disconnection to the Indigenous heritage and traditional knowledge.…

    Due to increased migration and globalisation, Australia has become a multicultural society with people bringing with them their own religions, languages and cultural backgrounds (Boyd & Brock, 2014).

Each student is unique and brings their own challenges. Teachers having the ability to adapt their teaching style in multiple different ways for different cultures, upbringings and the access they have had to different technologies (Jenkins, 2014).…

    If I would have been a social worker in the Department of Human Services at this time I would have done several things differently. If one of my coworkers stated that they had a new client from another country I would first ask them what they know about the culture. I would ask this because ways of life depend on what part of the world you are from. I would want my coworkers and agency to work with and handle these cases with respect and dignity. If they did not know anything about their culture I would suggest they look in the library or google how things are handled in the family’s home country.…

    Cultural safety is about to creating an environment where every person is not only treated well in a culturally respectful manner but also empowered to actively participate in interactions, believing they are valued, understood and taken seriously and supported to carry out culturally significant tasks as part of service delivery. For example; a worker may spend time cooking for a funeral and, instead of not allowing this to happen or assuming this is ‘time off’, the non-Aboriginal worker listens to explanations and respects the need for the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander worker to undertake this task as part of their…

The people who immigrate to Canada often have different religious and beliefs and in Canada they are allowed to practice whatever they like and are not required to assimilate the Canadian lifestyle. Immigration has been around for many years in Canada. This essay will look at the history of immigration, the rules and regulations for entering Canada, and how people can apply and qualify.…
