History demonstrates that conflict will always have a greater impact on the weak and vulnerable. In 1788, Captain Arthur Phillip lead the First Fleet into Sydney Cove, establishing the first white settlement of New South Wales. Soon after came Second and Third fleets arriving, which lead to a colonisation of Australia by European Settlers. The Europeans were able to take control of Australia and the Aboriginal people, due to their greater numbers and modern innovations. Relations between the Europeans and the Aborigines became hostile as Aborigines realised that the land and resources upon which they depended was seriously disrupted by the on-going presence of the colonisers.
Economics and Geography are everywhere. My reading of The Changing Geography of the United Kingdom only proved this further. David Herbert’s section on towns and cities was quite simply fascinating, and was where I extended my understanding of economic decentralisation. Hall’s observations of the parallels between the 1880s and 1980s where rural England lost much of its economic base, followed later by a similar downturn in urban England saw that both were caused by structural transformations intrigued me. The pattern seen between moving in, then out of cities portrays the change in what the population demands, putting more pressure on already scarce resources.
By focusing predominantly on the large increase of Asian immigrants subsequent to the termination of the policy, the author carefully evaluates the radical change in the large percentage of once racist Australian attitudes towards Asians. Written by a political scientist and experienced writer, James Jupp, and published in a scholarly political journal, the article thereby demonstrates a high level of reliability as well as a strong relevance to my research on the changed Australian perceptions of Asia following White Australia, and therefore will be used to supplement the basis of my essay. 4) MacLeod CL 2006, Multiethnic Australia: its history and future, 1st edn, McFarland & Company, North Carolina, America. This book examines the gradual transformation of the past and present of Australia’s immigration policies, detailing both the challenges and positive repercussions of the new multicultural
The most revolutionary case was that of ‘idleness’ and ‘disease’ where the revolutionary change within ‘squalor’ was limited. The giant of Idleness overall was slayed successfully by Labour and was arguably the most revolutionary change of the five. The main cause for Labour’s success was for their new approach to dealing with the economy and unemployment. Labour followed the policies of John Maynard Keynes, the basic principles of Keynesian Economics is when Unemployment starts to rise, the government must invest more money back into the economy to create more jobs resulting in greater economic activity. The government can be seen to be doing this through the vast amount of Council house’s that were built.
It is all too easy for a business to remain with what has always worked in the past. It is important to constantly assess who their customers are and offer what will appeal to them. The political context of the recession has also decreased the amount of trade, we are told in the case study that ‘the business faced an increasingly threatening external environment as the economy moved into recession.’ Customers are becoming more concerned with the corporate social responsibility, this is possibly one of the reasons that certain coffee house chains were taking customers from Lodge Bistro, Costa Coffee for example make it very clear they support the developing world, they state on their website that ‘We're committed to looking after our coffee-growers. That's why in 2006, we set up the Costa Foundation.’ As ‘the role of business is primarily economic’ Preston, D., Fryer, M., Watson, G. (2012) P28, it is important to keep the stakeholders in the form of Joyce Lodge and other investors happy by continuing to make a profit. In order
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). Australian identity has shaped dramatically through the American influence rising in the 90’s and well into present times. To understand this change we have to analyse not only the impact it has had on Australian culture but also the impact on Australian businesses which are driven by the consumers of Australia. Looking at the Franchise sector, a $131 billion business with over 73000 franchise units currently operating we can see what type of business Australian consumers are driving. A massive opportunity then is available to capitalise on the strong influence of
Globalization in most cases is seen as a question to our selves as to what is going on in our world today. From where we were and to where we are and to where our future would lie. For that reason globalization has brought the world we know today to the position we all stand in. Globalization has caused our economy, income, and wage to deal with inequality. Although inequality has improved in many countries, it has also made this gap between rich and poor much greater in others.
Hybridity could erode ethnic groups to the point we no longer identify ourselves as different ethnicities: Having lived in Australia, for my entire existence I have chosen Melbourne to be my primary case study due to its extensively diverse culture, in which I have luckily experienced. Melbourne has an enormous rage of ethnic cultures. Melbourne’s current international status as a cultural melting pot has created a compelling case study regarding the dissolution of culture. Ostensibly, it’s seems that there is some potential for cultural dilution. The extent of this cultural dilution would probably take the form of a bell curve.
People on the other side of this argument claim that immigrants help by taking unwanted jobs with very little pay, and in doing that they are helping keep the prices of domestic goods down across the country. Can immigration be really called a problem? It is likely that most people would call immigration a major problem. Even though immigrants take the lowest of domestic jobs and it is agreed that too much money is being spent to thwart illegals from trying to come into the country, immigration ultimately helps the economy because immigrants take undesirable jobs and there is no statistical evidence that immigration is harming our country in any way. In fact the opposite is the truth; there is evidence that immigration helps the economy in boosting the amount of jobs and that wages are altered in a positive way for everybody who works legally.
Even if some changes are ever so minor, there are greater changes to behold. Examples being recent events such as the U.S. recession, and Egypt, which from the Egyptian revolution gave inspiration to the Libya protests that would cause a panic to increase gas prices outright. These incidents would give a further change of our daily lives by increasing costs of most services and consumer goods. This in conjunction with social and political affairs, will likewise influence an entire country’s opinion on subjects such as the Egypt and Libya revolutions. The impact of the opinions can lead to changes within government and how to deal with further occurrences of major political or economic upsets.
