AUSTRALIA AND SOUTH KOREA

Comparison of the Religion’s Significance in Australia and South Korea Religion is undeniably one of the most important parts of the humanity. It has always been there, first as a form of fear before the unknown and misunderstood forces of nature, and then as a form of moral guidance and help. People have been showing a necessity to believe in something above them for a very long time, and even though the times have changed, this necessity still remains intact in many. However, religions do differ greatly depending on many factors: nationality, geography, climate, historical evolution, political situation ...

Economic inequality Between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australians

Introduction Thought the last century, the subject of inequality has come to the fore. It seems that social, economic, racial, ethnic disparity became ubiquitous under the circumstances of economic and technical progress. While some countries take a course of rapid development, others remain behind. It happens not only on the political level but also within the country on the social scale. The emergence of perceptible economic inequality can now be observed in developed countries, and Australia is not an exclusion. Historically, economic inequality strengthened disparities of income and living standards of the individual layers of the population, increased the ...

Were the convicts hardened criminals, innocent poachers or something in between?

The convicts that were sent to Australia ranged from being murderers and thieves to being advocates for social and political reform and debtors. However, no matter their reason for being sent to the penal colony, they all had the fact that being poor contributed to their crimes in common. Men and women who were too poor to pay their debts were sent to Australia. Murderers and thieves who often times were led to commit their crimes in an attempt to escape the poverty that they were in.

Chinese people started visiting Australia in as early as 1800 with most of them been business people dealing with gold trade. With diminishing of gold, most of them settled to work as market gardeners or farm hands in the developed Australian firms.

Children while in the juvenile are separated for their parents and they no longer relish their intimacy. According to the ...

Mental Health Issues Influencing Academic Performance amongst Students in Australia

It is in the nation’s best interest that youth complete as high a level of education as they are capable because dropping out of school can greatly diminish an individual’s chances in life and the ability to contribute to the community. Indeed, participation in tertiary education promotes national economy and innovation (Wierenga, Landstedt, & Wyn 2013, p. 3). The factors that compromise a young person’s ability to obtain a tertiary level education are socioeconomic disadvantage, rural location, and being an indigenous Australian (Wierenga, Landstedt & Wyn 2013, p. 4). Stafford, et al. (2007, Mental Health, para. 1) define ...

Australia as one of the major colonies of settlement, the Dominions of the British Empire built its ideology on not only a theory of a particular, specific Australian nationalism but instead on a wider ideology called Britishness.

Britishness is an ideology that takes its cues from a very large vat of sources, political, cultural, national and historical commonalities. Although Australia maybe halfway around the world it was still British because of it bonds with the mother country. Although the ...

Introduction

Australia is one of the many countries in which moral panics have resulted to elevated racism. The concerns about crime and the fear of crime in many Australian cities including Sydney have greatly shaped lifestyles and have influenced the qualities of life. It is evidently that crime in many Australian cities is continually being linked to immigrants and other ethnic minorities. In Australia, in the recent years, the issue of crime committed by ethnic minorities and immigrants has been the subject of many media headlines and has greatly shaped policies, both domestic and international. The 9/11 attacks in the ...

The Sardinians were eager to evict Australians from their land. Despite the defeat they suffered during the First World War, they did not lose hope. Instead, they were determined to see that their country was liberated from the grip of Australians (Avery). They were under the leadership of King Vittorio Emanuele when they realized that it was tough to fight the Mighty Australian Empire. The King and Cavour decided to find assistance from the other European States. Initially, Cavour had entered into a secret alliance with the Piedmont- Sardinia Kingdom during the War of Crimea. He was on the ...

Introduction

Generating profits from products made through the use of asbestos is unethical. Organizations have a responsibility to guarantee the safety of employees. Secondly, it is unethical to knowingly expose an employee to a harmful chemical. Employees have a right to a workplace environment that does not lead to safety issues. Recklessness and disregard for the safety of employees mean that corporations are only interested in profits but not the life and safety of employees. Furthermore, Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) engage in unethical practice by trying to stop victims from being compensated. My argument is ...

China of the 1950s and China now, are miles apart. The days of communism has gone, when the country toiled in abject poverty, striking at people who even thought of living a democratic life. People were forced to wear uniforms to work and only a handful of Chinese had cars. The streets of Beijing were filled with people cycling to work. Today, China is among the few countries that can challenge the economically sound west. All this began toward the end of the 1950s when the communists found that the country was going nowhere by isolating itself from the rest of ...

The concern for the rights of Aboriginal artists for their copyrights has been brewing overtime. Aborigines in Australia feel excluded in term of protection for their indigenous cultural heritage as well as intellectual property. However, this debate is as alive as before. In one stance, the issue came up for debate in the famous 1997 paper commissioned by Aboriginal Torres Strait Islander Commission titled “ Our Culture, Our future”. Before venturing into the debate of the copyright of the Australian Aboriginal rights, it is prudent to understand meaning of Aboriginal art (Arts Law Centre of Australia).

In the aboriginal ...

Abstract

This paper will examine the Australian social perspective from the nonprofessional’s point of view before undertaking a deeper socio-economic analysis. On the surface, Australians would like to believe that they are classless but in fact, they are subject to the classes that are inherent in a capitalist society. This paper will use the theories of Marx to describe the development of a class. We will also use the writings of other scholars such as to chronicle how the ruling class developed in Australia and how it has affected everyday life of the people in terms of the distribution of power. In ...

Australia and New Zealand are in a unique part of the world. They are both fairly isolated, and the nearest countries to them tend to be much worse off socioeconomically (Papua New Guinea, for example. Many factors have contributed to their uniqueness over the years.

Firstly, due to their isolation, they both have very unique biodiversity. Australia, in particular, is known for its marsupials, such as the Kangaroo, the Tasmanian Devil, the (extinct) Tasmanian Tiger, Wallabies, etc. New Zealand is also famous for its unique animals, most famously the now-extinct Dodo bird. It is also of note that early humans ...

The Closing the Gap policy is a 2008 arrangement by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) that aims to develop the living conditions of indigenous people within Australia. It is a policy aiming to reform standards of housing, health, and education among indigenous communities (Australian Government, 2012). As the name itself implies, it aims to “close the gap between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians in life expectancy, educational achievement and employment opportunities” (Altman, 2009, p. 2). It bears the main objective of removing the problem of indigenous disadvantage by imposing efficient systems of service delivery to indigenous people with adequate funding. ...

Executive Summary

Australians from all kinds of different backgrounds have started to understand that the country's urban communities can't manage debauched development and its great environmental aspects. Diminishing water supplies, coming up short nourishment dishes, expanded vitality expenses, more extreme bushfires, serious tempests, flooding, sea disintegration, rising transport costs, lodging deficiencies and natural contamination are currently and unfortunately every day news. Australia's urban areas may have come to their biological limits: another model for arranging the land we live is required. Understanding the common cycles of the city is pretty much as imperative as arranging our urban areas upon the information ...

Although stress is part of everyday life, research shows that higher levels of stress are prevalent in people, in malfunctioning homes and people with strained relationships. People with physical and psychological health issues also face more pronounced health effects from stress compared to people without such conditions. According to a study done by the Australian Psychological Society (2012), seven in every ten Australians with stress report experiencing some impact on their health with 18% of the participants reporting strong physical impact on their health. In Australia, groups that experience significant health effects from stress include people with chronic illnesses and their ...

Report on 3 different cultures within Australia

Report on 3 different cultures within Australia Australia is an ethnically diverse society owing to its history. Indeed, one out of four residents of Australia were born outside the country while many others are either first or second generation Australia in the sense that they are either children or grandchildren of migrants and refugees in Australia. This identity of Australian people is due to the convergence of various factors. Similarly, the presence of various ethnic communities in the society has led to a multicultural society in the country. In essence, the culture of the people of Australia is a western ...

Before Federation (prior to 1901), Australia was not a nation; each of the British colonies was its own self-ruling state. Each had separate laws and regulations and functioned effectively as a separate country. Those colonies were: New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Tasmania and Western Australia, the last one to join (Singleton et al. 2013, pp.55-56). According to “Federation 1890-1910” published by the government of Western Australia (n.d.), that state had delayed its decision because it had seen such rapid changes in the previous decade, including the discovery of gold and a population increase from 50,000 to near 200,000. ...

The Australian government disability policy and legislation are geared towards empowering people with disabilities in the country to live normal lives just like their abled counterparts. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) was ratified by Australia in 2007, and it became effective by 2008. This ratification ensures that people with disabilities enjoy human rights on the same level as their abled counterparts (WWDA, 2014). In November 2009, the Australian Prime Minister stated that the National Disability strategy would be developed (WWDA, 2014). The Council of Australian Governments would ensure ...

INTRODUCTION

Since the early 2000s, there has been a global revolution in the environmental realm. n various countries, the green movement has manifested itself in a visibly increased awareness by the public, as well as in governmental policies that seek to lessen the environmental impact of both public and private institutions. United States citizens, for example, have begun choosing whether to make their homes and transportation more energy efficient. Humanitarian and environmental non-governmental organizations are deciding how to guide their members and respond to climate change (Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, 2010). Closer to home, Australian governmental policies have also begun ...

Australia, being both a country and a continent, is home to different races of mankind. And among the white people that we have known as the common faces of Australians today, Indigenous or Aboriginal people also occupy a space. Aboriginal people were the primary inhabitants of Australia before its colonization in late 1700s by the European mariners (Australian Government, 2008:web). Up until this day, Australian Indigenous population is struggling very hard to preserve the culture they once established. Nowadays, Indigenous people of Australia, closely adhering to their culture, are the modern faces of poverty and discrimination in the land they once considered ...

The rock artists of Australia were drawing the dreamtime long before they had a word for art or long before the first Westerner arrived there. The dreamtime for the indigenous people of Australia is their story of creation. Their beliefs are reflected in the ancient paintings on rock. The aboriginal are believed to have occupied Australia for at least forty thousand or even maybe hundred thousand years, which makes them the “oldest continuous human culture on the planet” (Rock Art). Their art is a primitive history book and guide for living (Rock Art). Seasons played crucial role in their lives; that ...

Discussion on how on-going Government/ indigenous relationships illustrate history’s relevance to contemporary Australian politics.

Introduction Discussion Colonization, adaptation and resistance, changing government policies and the recognition struggle are some of the issues that have made the contemporary Australian politics the way they are (Hunt, 2013). Ongoing indigenous and government relationships show that the indigenous people are now able to access health facilities, get food, employment, education, land rights and housing. After the World War II many of the indigenous Australians migrated to urban areas in search of employment, health facilities, seeking involvement in justice systems, educational opportunities and sport. The migrating trend was both voluntary and involuntary. Involuntary migration happened when ...

Abstract

This essay assesses whether Australian federalism has or has not changed dramatically since the Constitution was inaugurated in 1901. It looks at the way the central government (the Commonwealth) and the State governments have interacted, and the various changes along the way that have shifted the balance of powers to reach the point we are at today. In addition to considering the general situation, the essay looks at specific issues such as fiscal changes including taxation, and at specific areas of policy such as education and health (including Aboriginal health issues). From the research undertaken it is evident that ...

The Australia educational policy makers have been debating with having school children to accept a multicultural or a global look on education. Under the multicultural curriculum, students will learn about “cultural-competency” in an attempt to remove racial and cultural stereotypes. Already, teachers have been interviewed and questioned about the implementation of the program and how it will affect the Australian society. The whole blue-print for the implementation of the program was borrowed from the essay “Rethinking Multiculturalism in Education”. Another strategy involves study ambassadors that actually travel to other countries to study how the cultures operate. The benefit of such mission ...

History wars focus on the commitment of the historians and the demands of nationalism. These wars emerge when historians are accused of disloyalty especially when they challenge the national story. In the Australian context, history war presents the experienced conflict over the understanding of the history European settlement in the Australia and the establishment of the modern Australian society (Broome, 2010). The arguments over this issue have particularly focused on the effect of the British colonization of Australia Torres Strait Islanders and Aboriginal Australians. The major protagonists include Geoffrey Blainey, Keith Windschuttle, Carole Ferrier, Anne Clark, Sturt Macintyre and ...

- What were the main themes that first emerged after the spill? The first themes from the newspapers that were covered touched on the chemical spill from Kooragang Island Orica Plant. They all touched on the chemicals that were spilt at the plant and the area in which the chemical covered. The carcinogenic chemical exposure was communicated to the residents of the area three days after the event took place (Johnson 2011, p. 1). According to all the articles, the chemical that glided on seventy homes in the area for half an hour was hexavalent chromium (Fairfax Media ...

Introduction

When the Commonwealth of Australia was declared, it was heralded that this move would usher in a new era of prosperity, especially for the inhabitants of the expansive country. While this was welcomed by some nationals, especially those of British origin, the Aborigines were not excited all the same. This is because the declaration of the Commonwealth of Australia ushered in an era of racial oppression and dispossession, from an Aborigine perspective. Unlike other colonial territories under British rule, for instance Canada and New Zealand where land treaties were signed before their land was taken for colonial occupation, the occupation ...

In Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements in

Abstract Australia is one of the top three countries for refugee resettlements. The Australian Government has successfully established a responsive humanitarian program that aims to assist and protect refugees and facilitate their resettlement and integration in Australian society. Australia aims to help various groups including African refugees. In Australia, African refugees have developed a negative reputation because of their involvement in crime and their inability to gain employment, thus, fueling their dependency on welfare and the Government’s other services. These factors have contributed to African refugees’ social identity in Australia. Since African refugees came from poor developing countries in ...

Throughout this class, I have learned many different things about the aborigines and their history. When I began learning more things about them, it was hard to believe how much I did not know. Of course, I was at a relative disadvantage to other students because I am not an Australian native, nor was I born anywhere near Australia. I am an Asian student, studying internationally. Though I am learning more about the world every day, through my studies and through my life experiences, the Australian aborigines were one portion of history that otherwise would have gone unknown to me, ...

Introduction

Australian history is coiled around Britain. Up until 1986, the Britain and Australia had constitutional links, sharing a common nationality code. It is, therefore, a matter of great interest how Australia has ignored British Empire’s influence in its involvement in wars during the commemoration of war. This remembrance is done on April 25th every year. Australia’s war history runs back to the year 1788, according the Australian war memorial. For a period of more than 120 years, Australia was a Britain affiliate and a colony. The formation of the federation of Australian colonies, otherwise known as the Common wealth of Australia, ...

Problem Definition in New Zealand Retail Market Facing Traditional Businesses

Top shareholder in the New Zealand retail business argues that most traditional businesses in the New Zealand marketplace are bound to suffer reduced numbers if they do not embrace changes taking place in this sector. Specialists argue that New Zealand has depicted potential increased retail numbers and revenues for online retailers as they could sell goods from other parts of the world. Notably, Adams (2014) indicated that over $ 2.7 billion from the New Zealand retail market went to the overseas retailers. Notably, this contributed to close to 40% of the overall retail business in New Zealand. This could be ...

The film ‘Rabbit-Proof Fence,’ is the story of three young Aborigines who dared to challenge the extreme and hostile terrains of the Australian bush country and desert to escape from captivity to freedom. The movie is touching and deals with cultural anthropology to the hilt. Right from the onset when the camera runs across a spectrum of barren land and reaches the eyes of an innocent girl who looks at the distant mountains and the bird in the sky with an emerging smile, the viewers are quickly moved to understanding that the eyes talk of the crave for freedom. On ...

The Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) located in Sydney, Australia. The museum is dedicated to the exhibition, collection and interpretation of contemporary art pieces from Australia and other continents.

The Museum of Contemporary Art was officially opened in November 1991 (MCA 2013, 1). The exhibitions are housed in the former Maritime Service Board building at Circular Quay at the periphery of the Sydney Harbor. The state government ...

Government Tax on Fast Food

IntroductionOver the years, medical experts have been battling the fast foods health related problems. Some of these health problems include obesity and weight-related health issues such as diabetes. However, this has not been a success for the Australian government. Relying on the food industry to control diet has been unsuccessful. The food manufacturers are concerned with the acquired profit but not the public health. This can only change when another force takes things to another direction. The Australian Medical Association has been on the forefront in this noble fight to save the Australian people. The association established in 1962 after ...

Should Declining Fertility Rates be a Cause for Concern in Australia?

Australia has experienced a decline in fertility rates since the 1960s when the fertility rate peaked. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), the total fertility rate has remained below the replacement level since 1976 (ABS 2013). ABS also observed that women of all ages, occupation, or education level are having fewer children now than in the past. Another research dubbed “Battering the Evaluation of Care Health (BEACH)” revealed that 1.3 per 1000 encounters in hospitals between 2007 and 2012 were attributed to infertility (Britt, Harrison & Zhang, 2012) Majority, 81.6% of the infertility cases were reported in women.

Introduction

According to Cleugh et al (2011), climate change is among the greatest economical, ecological and social challenges facing humanity today. Evidence shows that human activities including the burning of fossil fuels, deforestation, pollution, ecosystem degradation among many other agricultural and industrial activities have increased the levels of greenhouse gas emissions to the atmosphere leading to global warming. Climate change is purely due to anthropogenic factors. Australians have been regarded as superb adapters having been able adapt to small variations of climate, but in recent times the accelerated changes have proven more than what many can take. With the glaring ...

U.S. HEALTH CARE SYSTEM COMPARED TO AUSTRALIAN The United States and the Australia follow very contrasting healthcare system. To highlight their best, and to learn from their shortcoming, it useful to compare and contrast the system. It will be useful to compare them according to their: accessibility; cost structure; quality; types and availability of the health care settings and services; healthcare quality and outcomes; and health care personnel. Like the rest of the world, United States has both private and public insurers in their health care system. What makes is unique is the dominant role played by ...

Question 1 = Australia Health System Efficient Health care system is an essential component of a country. The three levels of healthcare have its scope and benefits to the populace.

It is here we find the primary care physicians, family physicians or general practitioner. At this level of service, the patients do not required referral to access services unlike the secondary health care services that required their patient to have seen ...

Just last year there was an effort to pass a law regarding Australian Aboriginals being recognized as the first inhabitants of Australia. Besides this, their language and dialects are also going to be recognized by abolishing a discriminating law in the country. This letter addresses that issue and talks about how Australian Aboriginals are left out in the work place because of cultural barriers. Although this issue is unspoken, it is very rampant. There are a lot of indigenous people who are being left out in school, the workplace and in the community because of the background. There needs to be more ...

Abstract.

The global sea levels have been on a slow but steady rise over the last two centuries. Global temperatures have been blamed for the rise in global sea levels with research showing that heat expands the volume of water in the sea and melts ice glaciers. The rise in sea level, if not curbed, could have diverse effects especially in regions with a unique topography such as Australia. Encroachment of dry land by salty sea water could cause pollution to seep into fresh water sources as well as render previously lucrative agricultural lands as barren. The issue of the steady rise ...
