The first noted evidence of the religion of Islam in Australia was through the interaction between the Indigenous people of Australia’s North and Islamic fisherman from South East Asia when trading products with eachother as well as the occurrence of inter-cultural marriage as early as 1650. However, the major influence of Islamic religion to Australia came later in the 1860’s when a large number of camel drivers , with origins throughout Afghanistan arrived in Australia to develop a telegraph line that would eventually connect Australia with London.

Thesis: The ability to practice Islam and feel at peace in Australia is significantly impacted upon by the action of more radical elements within the culture and the way this is treated in the media. Intro: The Islamic faith is the second fastest growing religion in the world. Knowing this fact it is clear that Islam is a major religion which would mean that it has spread through all of the world including Australia.

It is true that you can find some similarities between the countries of China and Norway, even so, these two nations have a lot of differences. To start, I will talk about each country’s physical shape. When you look at the world’s fourth largest country in China, you’ll notice that part of the Himalayas spreads through China, making it home to many mountains.

A fjord is “a long, narrow, deep inlet of the sea between high cliffs.” Norway has 1,190 fjords in total, making its physical landform stand out from China’s significantly.

It has both positive and negative impacts in all the areas that it touches on be it economical, social, technology, cultural, political, environment, health or any other.

Education remains to be the priority of all nations around the globe. Most countries devote vast resources to guarantee equal education opportunities to all their students.
