Is Australia an Inclusive Society?

What is racism? The word racism is defined as “the belief that a particular race is inferior to another race or races.” The Anti-Defamation League defined the word racism as “the hatred of one person by another, or belief that another person is less, because of skin color, language, customs, place of birth or any factor that supposedly reveals the basic nature of that person. It has influenced wars, slavery, the formation of nation and legal codes”

The dictionary defines racism as “a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.” Racism is one of the worst things to ever come about in the history of America. What began as feelings among whites of being superior to African Americans turned into one of the worst

A good thing about Australian Multiculturalism is mutual respect, this is according to a 2011 Sydney Morning Herald article by Chris Bowen, he states what makes Australian Great he gave the 3 elements which it’s still pinned down by Australian Cultural values, theirs is Citizenship based which means Immigrants will get full benefits of the Australian Society, and Political Bi-partisanship specifically on its creation with Al Grassby having a desire to bring this policy to Malcolm Fraser making it a official Policy. Furthermore Australia’s Multiculturalism is different before Australia’s Immigration policy is originally driven by economic imperatives but now the government

Conversely, ingrained expectations that a male career takes precedence of woman’s is evident with the ever-present glass ceiling, glass cliff, and now the glass elevator. Predominately female occupations such as nursing, elementary education, and social work witness discriminatory practices labeled as the ‘glass escalator’ with men ascending to management positions at a greater rate (Goudreau, 2012; Eagly & Carli,

Let’s start with the definition of racism. Racism refers to the belief that race is the primary determinant of human capacities, that a certain race is inherently superior or inferior to others, and/or that individuals should be treated differently based on their ascribed race.

Multiculturalism is reflected in our country’s food, lifestyle, cultural practices and experience. Migrants help to expand our multiculturalism as they bring their culture from their country to ours. In 2011, a survey was conducted to see how the multicultural nature of Australian society, particularly in Victoria, has developed and grown significantly. Compared to the 2006 survey, more than 50% of of Victorians were either born overseas or have at least one parent born overseas. Most of you today, wouldn’t be here if someone in your family hadn’t made the decision to migrate to Australia. As Australia’s population grows with the increase in migrants, so does its

According to Mariam Webster, the definition of racism is, “a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.” However, to me racism is more than what is defined above. In my point of view, I consider racism not as only a belief, but also a disease that cause a chronic stress that leads to premature birth for African American women.

Let’s begin by defining the term racism. According to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, racism means the belief that some races are better than others. Newman defines racism as the belief that humans are subdivided into distinct groups so different in their social behavior and mental and physical capabilities that they can be ranked as superior or inferior. (Newman, Sociology10, 2014)

Some of the beneficial aspects were that the immigration system helped to strengthen the economy and enhance the multiculturalism of society (Soutphommasane, 2013). The British were open to applying for jobs and worked hard, which helped the country with economic development. Australia’s economy at the time was relying on the migration process to help satisfy skill demands (Thomson, 2014). In the 1960’s economic growth was more than 5% and unemployment was below 2%, which was huge progress, and the British were strong participants in this growth. (Thomson, 2014). As well as lifting the economy, from a cultural perspective, the migrants brought new culinary tastes along with them as well as new approaches to leisure, arts and society (Thomson, 2014). The migrants settled and assimilated easily because of the similar culture, language and history (Australia, n.d.). During the years of migration, the country became much more culturally diverse. By the 1970’s, migration had adapted the shape and nature of Australian society. The migration programs had many positive effects on Australia, particularly on the economy and multiculturalism. Nevertheless, there were few negative impacts that rose from the immigration of British people to Australia. Although immigration created strong economic growth, Australians were losing their jobs and the manufacturing sector was declining (Thomson, 2014). Another burden was that mass migration was inflicting on Australia’s social fabric as the ethnic composition and employment rate was changing (Australia, n.d.). Australia’s immigration schemes were effecting negatively on the jobs that Australian citizens were available to. The migration schedule had few negative impacts on Australia, including the citizen’s jobs and interactions, however was successful at the

The definition of racism is prejudice.There are so many definitions of racism . Like discrimination, antagonism, bigotry, racism, and xenophobia. Racism itself means the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race. Bigotry means a person who strongly and unfairly dislike people.

Racism refers to a certain belief that all members of one race group possess characteristics that are specific to that certain race. That can then lead to a certain racial group distinguishing their race either as inferior or superior to another race or races. Racism can also be described as a specific form of prejudice which involves a certain attitude for a certain racial group.

Racism is the opinion that race determines human traits and capacities and that a particular race has an inherent, or inborn, superiority. This discrimination is a violation of human dignity and a sin. Most of the time, people get judged by what their skin color is. It is not the person’s fault that they were born with that color of skin. There are people who will tease and mock people and this is wrong.

To match beliefs about diversity with practice, it becomes necessary to address the imbalance between uniformity and diversity. Australia is the biggest example of having multiculturalism. In 2011, the Census revealed that over a quarter (26%) of Australia 's population was born overseas and a further one fifth (20%) had at least one overseas-born parent. This pattern of migration is evident in the make up of the richly diverse society that has been recorded in the 2011 Census. This diversity can be seen in the variety of languages, religions, ancestries and birthplaces reported by Australians (Australian Bureau of Statistics- 21 June 2102). Migration is social, cultural, technological, political and economic integration, which also have

Many of the women stereotypes evolve from the social misconception females belong at home. These views can impact a woman’s potential to gain status, power and in turn a higher income. The term glass ceiling illustrates this unseen barrier, immobilizing and disempower women in the work place. Female gender stereotypes paint women inadequate for handling tough ‘manly’ jobs. Women also lack the apparent positive male characteristics of aggression, domination, and self-confidence (Gender Stereotypes 2015). However, a female who does possess these positively acclaimed male attributes are torn down and are not acclaimed as

Australia’s multicultural society means we have a great variety of cultural groups with differing beliefs, behaviours and experiences. For our workforce this means we have the richness of diverse experiences to draw on.
