This statement is ridiculous. Many refugees arriving in Australia are highly educated but, because their qualifications are not recognised in Australia and because they do not speak English very well, they have no choice but to take low paid jobs which require little skill. They do not do this work because they are lazy - in fact most of these jobs are not easy but take whatever jobs are available so they can feed their families and build a new life. Many refugees want to work in order to repay their “debt” to Australia for providing them with
Besides, the immigrants with different cultures often have different morals standards and religion beliefs, which is always the potential cause of contend and crime. So , sometimes, the crime rate is relative with the number of immigrants. As well, some people claim that the less jobs and higher unemployed rate caused by Immigration, and there are some native Australians to miss out on jobs that are taken up by immigrants. “Australia now has 1 million unemployed and to add 100,000 migrants each year is insanity. These people can only take jobs from the existing pool or join the dole queue.
One part of the book, when Marlo sees the difference between the Aborigines living compared to the white inhabitants way of living in the modern society of Australia, she describes the Aborigines discrimination on the Australians labor market. Many of the Aborigines can´t have the same job as the white people just because there are Aborigines. Sure, some jobs require some qualifications of education but simple jobs can also be unavailable for the Aborigines in some cases. We can read in this example that the Aborigines´ working rights isn´t equal compared to the working rights for the white
Most seamen were reluctant to continue service due to inhumane treatment. Several captains were court-martailed and released from service because of the treatment of their crew. Pay became a major issue as well. Two months salary could only buy two pairs of shoes. Many able seamen were recruited by privateers, thus Reuther
There were limited privileges: not many people voted, and they were not allowed to do anything to improve their working conditions that were legal. There were other groups affected by the industrial revolution, and this section will discuss five specific groups that were affected by the Industrial Revolution. The first group affected was the immigrants. During parts of the 19th century, there were uncommon limitations on immigration as the mounting numbers of factories offered chances for low-cost employment. Due to the different ethnicities, many immigrants found the transition to American life quite difficult, despite their efforts to ease the transition by assimilation into U.S. society.
The stolen generation The stolen generation were children of Australian Aboriginal who were removed from their families by the Australian Federal and government. The removals happened in the period between 1909 and 1969, but the stolen generation is still today a big issue for Australia, and it has resulted in social conflicts over the last years. The social impacts of forced removal have been found to be quite hard, and the issues concern almost every Australian in one way or another. Discrimination has been present since white population began in Australia, and it still exists in certain extent. The removal of Aboriginals children from their parents has been a policy in all states of Australia at different times.
It means that there were jobs that were classified as superior jobs that paid more and high skill levels, and then there were the jobs that were the “blue collar” jobs with the lower level skills. Many who had the higher skills to work a primary job were placed in secondary jobs due to their race. The internment camps were the worst that had happen to Japanese Americans. They were taken from their daily lives and forced into a camp, where they had to live their lives. It was all because the United States and its people were afraid of a homeland internal attack.
The reasons people flee their homelands, the “push factors”, have not changed. Instability, conflict, persecution and political oppression remain rife in many countries, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka and China. Most asylum seekers coming to Australia are from the Asia Pacific region. Asylum seekers from countries such as Colombia, Mali and Ghana rarely, if ever, attempt to travel to Australia to seek asylum. These countries were among those that generated dramatically less asylum seekers in
[1] In Hawaii, the Japanese children were well schooled and the workers always worked above and beyond, but some felt underpaid. In 1909 the sugar cane workers went on strike to win better wages and work conditions , since they weren’t very happy, but the strike failed. The first Japanese church was built in 1890 here in America, but before that, they were forced into Chinese churches because some American people didn’t accept them, even though they didn’t understand the Chinese language. In America they made societies called Tanomoshi which functioned as banks for the immigrants which helped them greatly in their business aspirations. The first two generations of Japanese had to face terrible discrimination though.
The famine had a disastrous effect all over Ireland and with the failure of the then British rulers to help with the food shortage and the exporting of grain to pay landlords their rent Ireland became practically unlivable which was the main reason for Irish immigration in the 1800’s. The famine left over a million people dead of starvation and others who survived with diseases such as cholera and typhus. Making them flee to the United States and Canada as well, as the living conditions were harsh in Ireland, the ship they traveled in to America was poorly as well, it was know as the “Coffin Ship”. The conditions were so poorly that many Irish died during the trip to the United States and Canada, never having the chance to live the better
