How Does Australian Culture Change

During 1945 to the present there has been many changes in Australian pop culture, these areas of pop culture include Film, television, radio, music, fashion, sport and communication. Popular Culture refers to the beliefs, attitudes and lifestyles shared by a group of people.

The patterns of change and continuity in Australia at the time of federation influenced Australia to become its own nation through the creation of the Australian identity. At time of Federation, the majority of people living in the Australian colonies were Australian-born. Colonists were also starting to see themselves as Australian, not as British. This meant people wanted their own identity that didn’t link back to Britain. The way of life in Australia helped build the identity, which was shaped by its differences to the typical Britain life. This was affected by the native flora and fauna, the weather and activities, sports and hobbies. There was also a change in the styles of literature and art, becoming more specifically Australian. This contributed to the growing national identity. For example, the popular oil canvas painting named Near Heidelburg by Arthur Streeton (Source 4.41, page 196, Oxford Big Ideas Australian Curriculum History 9) depicts the grasslands of Australia, and shows how people dressed accordingly to the weather. The change of the crops grown in Australia due to the climate, impacted the lifestyle of the people living in the colonies. This is a different landscape to Britain’s, where most of the population had

Analyze the political, social, and economic continuities and changes in Australia from 1700 AD to the present. While Australia has politically gained independence since the 1700’s, their ethnicities have shifted to create a socially diverse country as they remain closely tied with the rest of the world in regards to global trade. Since Britain used to rule Australia in the 1700’s, Australia since has had revolutions that granted them political independence from a larger ruling body. This provides freedom for all of the inhabitants in Australia from an outside force. In addition to this, the ethnicities of Australia have been allowed to mix with those of the rest of the world as new people join the society of

In comparison, knowledge and knowledge creation can be affected by cultural hegemony and ideologies which could call into question its value. Hegemony is the idea that people in power maintain power by influencing societies acceptance of their ideologies rather than using coercion (Rachar 2013, p. 238). In this time and age, this is performed by the control of media resources and Internet opinion (Kumar 2011, p.39). Media suppliers are highly experienced at emotive and persuasive content and reap the financial rewards of ratings (Edwards 2012, p. 69). In Australia, it is perhaps worth considering that a majority of our media, in particular, our newspapers are owned by companies such as Fairfax Media and News Corporation (Finkelstein 2012, p. 58).

Australian music has changed over the years. From country to metal to disco to pop and to this day it is still changing and diversifying. Some songs have now become unofficial Australian anthems. Some of these songs have come to represent Australia in many different ways.

Australia 's prime minister had changed from John Curtin to Francis Forde to Ben Chifley. He realised that Australia needed a long term plan so that the people of Australia could protect and defend themselves from potential attacks. World War 2 ended in about 1945 and communists (people who wanted everyone to be equal) started popping up in Australia. Australia was under heaps of stress due to war and other issues and they needed to populate or perish.

In comparison to US, Australia’s structural unemployment rate is higher (Statista, 2018) that gives some ground for Australia to lower the unemployment rate from the nation (Australian Government Budget, 2004-05). Before the Second World War, the unemployment rate of Australia was only around two percent. Due to increase in working age population in Australia, along with increase in employment, unemployment rate also increases. Rapid growth in economy, trained workers, educated and skilled workers, expansion of business in country will lead to lower the unemployment rate.

In this paper, I will be researching the Australian culture, Tiwi. Located on the Melville and Bathurst islands in northern Australia, the environment experiences torrential rain from November to March with temperatures consistently staying around twenty-seven degrees Celsius , but from June to September rain is rare with great temperature ranges. The terrain is diverse with mostly flat lands, small streams and rivers, and eucalyptus and cypress forest that make up the majority of the upper lands. With the diversity of the land, Tiwi’s experience a diet that is nutritious. (eHRAF) The Tiwi culture was first mentioned in text approximately forty thousand years ago by Dutch, Portuguese, and British settlers. The

Australia is home to many different ethnicities and religions. Some of the very first people to live on Australian ground were the indigenous people. The Indigenous people are made up of two groups: the Aboriginal and the Torres Strait Islander people. The Indigenous people of Australia have helped shape Australia’s rich heritage through many cultural practices.

An increase or decrease in the unemployment rate can have a multiple effects on the Australian economy, both beneficial as well detrimental to the economic conditions and the societal outlook.

Throughout history to present day, Australian culture has become the product of a distinct blend of established traditions and new influences. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, the country’s original inhabitants, created the foundation for the land’s cultural traditions over 40,000 years ago. In addition, the rest of Australia’s people are migrants or descendants of migrants from various other countries who transported their own customs, beliefs, and value systems to the land. As a result, Australia’s culture has significantly broadened its social and cultural profile over the years, and still continues to evolve today.

Aboriginals or indigenous Australians are the native people of Australia. Aboriginals were nomadic people who came to Australia about 40,000 – 60,000 years ago from Southeast Asia. Religion is a great part of Aboriginal culture. The essay answers these questions: What do Aboriginals belief? What is a Kinship system? What is Dreaming and Dreamtime? What rituals does Aboriginals have?

Australia is both the smallest and oldest continent in the world, and it is the only country that is also a continent. [1] It is an island located between the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific, just south of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. At 2,941,299 square miles, Australia is the sixth-largest country in the world and only about 150,000 square miles (about the size of Montana) smaller than the continental United States. Its interior land is a flat and sparsely populated desert, but as you move outward the climate changes to grassland, subtropical, tropical, and even temperate in the southeastern region. [1] While more than 70% of Australia is arid, the rest includes a variety of rich environments including flood plains,

Unemployment is recognised as one of the most challenging social problems currently facing Australia. In the last two decades and more recently with the global recession high levels of unemployment have become an established feature of the South Australian social and economic landscape, with young people aged 15 to 24 years among those hardest hit by unemployment.
