Alternative dispute resolution mechanisms offer many advantages for Aboriginal people over traditional court proceedings. “Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities should be able to implement models in their own communities, which recognise traditional cultural values and traditional structures of decision making.” (Behrendt 1995, p.6) Behrendt also argues that alternative methods of dispute resolution should be developed that embody the cultural values of Indigenous people and are perceived as acceptable by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, these would be ideally and necessarily be developed by the Aboriginal communities themselves. “In Australia, Indigenous peoples recognise that real change in our situation requires a fundamental shift in the structures of power which will allow Indigenous people to regain control over their own lives.” (Poynton 1994, p.68) Dodson who is the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Social Justice Commissioner also argues “Genuine change will only occur when there is a genuine redistribution of
Before the World Wars, Australian society was grouped mainly into Christian denominations but migration has introduced many new religions into the culture. They brought with them new ideas, customs and cuisines, changing the Anglo-Saxon basis of Australian society which is evident to this day. Two-thirds of the workers of the SMS were immigrants from over 40 countries around the world. The Scheme has become a symbol of the alliance between its workers. Therefore, the revolution of all aspects of culture has assisted in the changing identity of
Students will further understand and learn the diverse cultures of Australia and their origins, such as Aboriginal and Torres Straits Islander cultures. When the First Fleet arrived in Sydney in 1788, there were estimated to be about 60 different nationalities among the crew and convicts. Since then, extensive immigration from countries and cultures from around the world have extended the cultural and linguistic diversity of Australia’s population making it one of the most diverse populations in the world today. We are proud to live in a solid, broad society in which the cultures, languages, and religions of millions of Australians have transformed our social and cultural landscape. Australian multiculturalism embraces the heritage of indigenous Australians, early European settlement, our Australian-grown customs and traditions and experiences of new migrants coming to this country; and promotes mutual respect and equality, aiming to enhance social structure and Australia’s capacity to survive both external and domestic tensions.
They might only comprise 10% of the population, but they perhaps comprise 90% of the imagery used to describe the Australian stereotype. True Blue? On being Australians shows that the larrikin image that Australia has been stuck with since the days of the convicts is still alive and well with not only men but women as well proudly calling themselves Bogan. There are definitely some positive attributes in the Bogan identity, but there are also some limitations. These limitations affect how other Australians are viewed when they try to engage with the international community.
Population growth and subsequent increases in economic activity are the catalyst for movement of people to common areas. In the case of Australian, towns & cities emerged as people emigrated from Europe; largely from the UK in the 18th and 19th centuries. Together in population growth, the growth in ideas and innovations lead to new industries and economics. From the time of colonisation, Sydney was a town with an economy based around the maritime industry. As it was located next to an ocean port, manufacturing and trade in commodities was central to its growth.
So when the Australian company called Foster’s which is the largest wine company in Australia offered them a great deal to buy Beringer Wine Estates for $1.5 billion, the Beringer accepted the deal. After reviewing the back ground above, we come to the key issue in this case: How to keep performing well after the “New World” arrived. When we mean the “New World” is actually means the challenge from the globalization. “From 2000-2002, several prominent American-based wineries and beverage conglomerates set up joint ventures with other “New World” wineries from Australia. The purpose of these joint ventures were to enable California wineries to increase market share; create synergy with distribution channels, marketing, and sales; diversify production sources and growing seasons; and reduce costs.

History assignment. Federation in Australia in 1901 was beneficial for the six colonies is an accurate statement for many reasons. Federation meant an all round safer and equal country, for reasons such as defence, independence, laws, and trade and business. By merging Australia’s colonies together under one government in Federation, Australia’s forces become stronger. Prior to Federation Australia’s defence forces consisted of 6 separate small armies running in different ways, these armies would operate in-cohesively if faced with danger.

My short-time internship experience in Bank of Nanjing gave me the chance to know about how the investment-banking department operates, and it interested me. However, the investment banking industry in China is still immature because of limited talents and low efficiency of resource allocation; few investment banks are actually making profits. I believe that if you want to learn, you have to learn from the best. Therefore I plan to stay in United States after graduation to work and gather experiences. Even though the Chinese market is not mature right now, yet nobody can deny that it has enormous potential and opportunities.
