This sparked an era of ‘Comedy Gold’, in which many cult classics such as Crocodile Dundee and The Castle were made, excellent examples of Australians cinema. However, during this period, larger American films swamped the Australian film industry with their own films.…

Percussion instruments, particularly drums and rattles, are used to keep tempo for the singers, who use their native language as well as non-lexical vocables. Traditional Native American music begins with a slow and steady beat that gradually grows faster and more emphatic.…

    Australia is a country that has been described as diverse, multicultural and unique. Our geography, flora and fauna and cultural history is different from anywhere else, which has definitely captured the attention of the rest of the world. Australian society has evolved in a very short space of time from the earliest convict settlements established in the mid nineteenth century, to the cosmopolitan states that currently exist and draw immigrants from all continents across the globe. Australia’s history has reflected conflict, human rights violations and the hardship associated with establishing a refined society in a harsh and primitive landscape. Throughout the various stages of Australian history, Australians have attempted to grab onto an…

    The movement of peoples in Australia between 1750 to 1810 was a very important time in the development of this country. During the period from 1750 to 1770, Australia was entirely populated by Indigenous groups whose cultures and beliefs had not changed for over 50,000 years. During 1770, Captain James Cook, a British Lieutenant, landed his ship Endeavour at Botany Bay in New South Wales. The Aboriginal clan that was located in that area were unhappy and tried to stop Cook and his crew from coming ashore. Cook's crew were greater in number and were able to overpower them.…

    Education is an important aspect of a child’s life; it is what creates their future. Narrowing the gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous is important, as it enables Indigenous students the opportunity at a brighter future. Through statistics, Indigenous students are behind in attendance and National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN). The Australian Government has produced documents that outline areas where Indigenous students are falling behind, ways in which the Government aims to increase Indigenous students’ academic achievement. The National Curriculum includes cross-curriculum priorities known as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders Histories and Cultures, which enables Indigenous students to see themselves, their identities and their cultures building their self-esteem and participate in their learning (ACARA, 2016).…

    Australia and the United States (U.S.) have shared a profitable relationship for many years, reaching as far back as World War I, where they fought side by side during every major war since that time (U.S. State Department, 2016). The military and political relations between Australia and the U.S. has cemented trade agreements, resulting in benefitting both nations, and their strong alliance is due to many of their shared cultural beliefs and democratic views. According to the Merriam Webster dictionary, culture is defined as “the beliefs, customs, arts, etc., of a particular society, group, place, or time” (Culture, n.d.). Based on this definition, a comparison can be made on many different levels, from military priorities to society and…

    Through many international influences via music in 1980’s, it has been made clear that the world’s influences on Australian pop culture and society has been quite significant. The Australian music scene was majorly dominated by American and British influences in the 80’s, resulting in large overseas influences on society. Let’s take a step back in time, to the 1950’s and early 60’s, Australia’s music scene had just embraced the American culture shock that was rock ’n’ roll. Australia took the overseas influence with stride and mixed it with their own style of surfer music to create a new version of rock ’n’ roll, with rocker’s such as Col Joye and Johnny O’Keefe vamping up the nation. I know we’ve all heard of the Beatles right?…

    The aim of embedding indigenous perspectives in education is to embrace Australia’s First Nation, their culture, identity, and their dreamtime stories into Australian mainstream schooling. Aunty Tina Quitadamo (cited in Beresford et al. 2003, p. 149) comments ” similar to our dreaming, I see quality education as an evolving, holistic, spiritual and educative process providing meaningful opportunities for personal growth”. For the past 200 years Australian education formulated post-colonial guidelines with an absolute insistence for all Indigenous children to learn, write, and read in English, with no allowances for their own languages or cultures. Heiss (2013, para 1) states government policy relating to Aboriginal people has been designed…
