presentation will focus on the impact of American culture on Australia. Americanisation had started in Australia in the 1950’s, with the introduction of the Television. Since then, Australian culture has been influenced dramatically by America. Americanisation has caused Australia’s popular culture to imitate American society and culture. This presentation agrees with this thesis and will argue that Americanisation has a positive effect on Australia. In particular, it will examine American…

In 1788, Europeans first discovered and settled in Australia. When Australia was established as a colony of Britain, the conflict between Indigenous people and white people had started. The British tried to displace Aboriginal people from their land. They made lots of policies to get rid of Aboriginal people and tried to assimilate Aboriginal people into ‘white’ society. In 1991, the process of reconciliation formally began and this process has been continuing till now. Although the Indigenous…

Introduction: Second-generation Irish migrants in post-WWII England took up a variety of noteworthy hybrid-identities. This particular study of displacement is significant in the context of WWII, which produced twenty-seven million displaced persons and furthermore, is relevant in a present day context because of the continually increasing number of refugees worldwide. This essay compares the way that the two popular music bands made up of second-generation Irish migrants, The Pogues and The…

Australia is a nation whose initial growth was fuelled largely by the labour of prisoners and reminders of our penal roots can be seen everywhere in the form of heritage listed buildings. The concerted effort by the Australian Government in recent years to preserve many buildings that were built from convict labour demonstrates the value that our society has placed on retaining the bricks and mortar links to our historical origins. This was not always the case however as our convict beginnings…

Indigenous Australians are significantly disadvantaged in modern Australian society. It exists because white Australian public believe that Australia is a post-racial society and claim to be anti-discrimination while ignoring increased incarceration rates, deaths in custody, and lasting effects from political wrongs committed against indigenous Australians. The sociological imagination is a concept used to see how situations in society occur and play out based on how people differ in terms of…

Interestingly, the convict origins of mateship perhaps explain some of the political maneuvers it later developed. The celebration of mateship is no more promoted than the various unionists and movements around Australia, in the past and indeed the present. Mateship can be seen to be used in the Union movements against government and business’ trying to weaken their authority, an idea of which draws many parallels to the convicts that suffered but banded together under the strain of authorities…

In 1901, Australia became an independent nation. Though, it still had a close connection with its origin, the British. According to realism, state is the highest authority, power is crucial, war is endemic so wishing for peace is utopian (Bisley, 2013). The best way to maintain security is to maintain alliance between states. At that point of time, Australia believed that its security was heavily dependent on the stability of major powers in the Europe. Thus, from 1900s to pre-World War 1, it…

that had fled their home country in fear of persecution. In 2011 there were a total of 1,669,725 asylum applications received worldwide, yet only 0.92% of those were made to Australia (Healey 2013). Despite being a signatory to the 1951 Refugee Convention, Australia has some of the toughest immigration policies worldwide. Australia, for example, is the only western country to place asylum seekers in mandatory detention instead of allowing them to live in the community while their claims are…

values, perceptions and life choices can be shaped by culture (Kinébanian& Stomph, 2010). However, there is inconsistency in the provision of occupational therapy services to clients from different cultures (Darawsheh, Chard & Eklund, 2015). In Australia, there are two Indigenous cultures as part of the Australian nation – Aboriginals and Torres Straight Islanders. For the purpose of this paper they will be referred to as First Australians. When First Australians are in need of…
