Individual Essay “How has the Americanisation of Australian culture influenced the franchise industry of Australia, and has this had a positive impact?” Prime Minister John Howard once quoted stating that ‘cultural vitality has a role in shaping national identity’ (Howard, 1995).

Alison Holland’s “The Common Bond” describes the idea of citizenship, how it first began to highlight the benefits of a united nation and the uprise of several issues as a result of the initiation of citizenship. When citizenship first arose in the 20th century, it was believed to ‘fill a perceived civic deficit in the population and to construct cohesion in a diverse society’ (p.152. ), what it resulted in was the rise of issues including multiculturalism, and a division among the non-British community. This chapter illustrates the struggle for diversity in Australia during the early 1900s. People who were non-British were classified as ‘aliens’

Becoming a republic, citizens of Australia might feel unsafe and leave the country. Do we really want that happening because of one little change?

After the 1870s, however, Americans, linked to the world through new communication
Summary 1: (The partⅠand Ⅱ) During the 1950s, a large amount of British flooded into Australia, which gave rise to a wide range of social changes. This article focuses on the concept of assimilation and then discusses the theoretical process of it. Richardson (1957) firstly explains both the objective (or environmental) situations and subjective (or personal) attitudes of the British immigrants. On arriving in a completely new environment, they were to face clashes from all aspects of life.

Since England owned these particular areas of the New World, these colonies were very influenced and affected by their mother country. The social faults, political chaos, and economic distress in England during the early colonial years in America played a role in shaping the English colonial experience. The societal issues that were present in England during the 17th century pushed many people to go to the Americas. The overpopulation in England was a major incentive for many to move across the Atlantic. Another reason for migration was the idea of primogeniture, which allowed the eldest son to inherit the wealth; leaving others desperate and in hopes of finding riches overseas.
Since the 1960s, Indigenous Australians have made progress towards gaining freedoms and having people and governments recognise their rights. People now frequently discuss and evaluate the extent to which these rights and freedoms are recognised. The Coranderrk mission was the first political struggle for Aboriginal people in Victoria. The aboriginals received a piece of land, and this site became known as the Coranderrk Mission in 1863 and by mid 1970s the community prospered and hence became a valuable piece of land.

English emigrated to America due to high population, high unemployment and the promise of a better life which America was offering.
