...negative impacts come into being because of ‘Big Australia’. It impacts on environmental, social and economical issues in Australia. This essay will examine the influences of high population growth rate in Australia, and it will determine whether the measures should be taken by Australia government so that the population growth will be decreased. Large immigration in Australia has positive outcomes. Encouraging migrants can fill opening in the Australia job market. For example, there are lots of scarce jobs in Australia, such as male nurses and teachers. Encouraging migrants attracts lots of people who have enrich work experience of those scarce jobs to come to Australia, as a result of it, the jobs of male nurses and teachers can be enriched. For instance, skilled migrants can fill jobs as the reason that Negative outcomes also need to be considered with the large immigration. Firstly, there are not enough water resources for those migrants to drink. Australia is a country of lacking water seriously, if too much migrants immigrate to Australia, there would be not enough water afforded to Australian residents and migrants. Secondly, the houses for migrants to live are not enough. If Australia government build more houses to enable those migrants to live, the afforest area would be reduced. Therefore, too much people would destroy the Australia’s environment. In conclusion, Australia should not be promoting a “Big Australia” according to these factors. ◎简 介 The...

...reception of migration may be influenced by personal values and way of life of citizens, however it can also be seen to be hugely swayed by political leaders. This essay will demonstrate these points through explanation and the exploration of the thoughts of those, both anti- and pro- immigration with within Australia. It will highlight the assets which migration can provide Australia – economically and culturally and give reasons why anti-immigration policies would damage the society instead of enriching it. Reasons why immigration is seen in a negative light will also be addressed, including national identity loss, unemployment and negative economic effects. Over the last fifty years, Australia has encompassed a large-scale immigration policy predominantly “concerned with population building and importing human capital and skills,”(Jackubowicz 2006). Multiculturalism, strongly linked and interchangeably used with immigration came around as a term in the 1970’s and was initially strongly advocated politically. However in more recent years questions relating to whether or not multiculturalism should be encouraged have arisen, triggering strong debates and inconsistencies amongst Australian’s and particularly in the political sector. There are a range of anti-immigration groups that have existed or still exist in Australia, all aiming (or they aimed) to project their ideas publicly and take action so as to convert and convince Australians their views were for the better and rally...

...has been shaped by two disparate ideologies, the initial white Australia policy, and the current policy of multiculturalism. The white Australia policy comprised legislation designed to safeguard Australia as a nation reserved for white residents, whereas multiculturalism is a process that constructively integrates cultural diversity into the national identity. This essay argues that the white Australia policy has had a significant impact on Australian culture and continues to overshadow the success of multiculturalism. First, this essay explains the motivations and legislations that established the white Australia policy, and the subsequent effects on early Australian society. Next, it discusses the discarding of the white Australia policy and the implementation of multiculturalism. Finally, this essay assesses the impact of the white Australia policy on contemporary Australian culture. During the late 1800s there was public and political discussion as to Australia’s future as a white nation (Bulletin 1886). This was prompted by the frequent racial tension and sporadic violence between white settlers and Chinese immigrants. The 1901 parliamentary debates concerning immigration show that although a belief in white racial supremacy was predominant, commercial concerns and fears of invasion were also involved. For example, some members extolled the superiority of a ‘snow-white’ Australia (Commonwealth of Australia 1901 pp. 4626, 4648, 4666). Whereas, other members protested that...

...highest influx of refugees in Europe since the second world-war. To some people this crisis may seem a relatively new phenomenon, however in actual fact it has been ongoing for the past five years. The war in Syria commenced on the 15th of March 2011, as a result of the conflict between the Syrian government, led by the Al-Assad family and the pursuit of the Syrian people for democracy. In critically analysing the statement ‘Solving the Syrian Refugee Crisis’, a noticeable bias becomes directly apparent in the use of the word ‘solving’. Solving an issue refers to finding an answer to, explanation for, or a way of dealing with a problem. This would suggest there are approaches that could be taken to help the Syrian people. Therefore, this essay will discuss the evolution of the Syrian refugee crisis, current control measures in place, and possible suggestions which I feel would significantly help in resolving this crisis. Since March 2011, the Syrian civil war has inflicted great human casualty with over 240,000 people killed, 7.6 million people internally displaced and approximately half of the pre-war population in need of urgent assistance (Jonson, 2015). The Syrian civil war reached its pinnacle when the extremist terrorist group, ISIS used the civil unrest as an “opportunity to enter the country and create a totalitarian Islamic caliphate” (Agency, 2015). The arrival of this organisation brought terror on an extreme scale and Syrian people were subject to fatal war crimes...

...Karina Castillo Literature Comp II Professor Oujo the purpose of this essay is to explore several harmful but also positive effects that immigration has the economy of the U.S The Cold war had become a massive dominant influence on different aspects of the American society for much of the 20th century. This had many effects on society, both today and in the past. It expanded due to antagonist values between the United States, it represented capitalism and democracy. The Cold War was different from most wars in that it was as much of a promotion war as a war with military engagements. The Korean and Vietnam Wars are two examples of military intervention by the Americans in the name of stopping communist expansionism. However, these wars did not have the extra-long impact that the Cold War have on American domestic and foreign policy that the cultural, economic and political battles of the Cold War had. Now this leads into the cultural battles between the superpowers had as much, or more. This left more of an impact on the everyday lives of most American civilians. Not being an American civilian or citizen wasn’t an issue either. So is immigration a positive effect in North America? Without immigration, The United States would not be nearly as diverse as it is today. But illegal immigration is a tremendous drain on the resources of The United States. But we must find a way to humanely treat illegal immigrants today without allowing or encouraging a further disadvantage...

...“Australia is a Classless Society” Discuss. It is this ideal that has in fact attracted many migrants to Australia over the course of its history. This essay will discuss some of the theories and definitions of class, then examine how they relate to Australian society, and whether Australia does indeed have a class system, arguing that in many ways, it does. It will discuss people’s perception of classes and their position in them, mobility between classes, and the impact of class on health, education and crime. It will show that there is a direct correlation between class and the level of crime, the health of an individual and the level of education attained. At its federation in 1901 the new nation of Australia was founded on principles of equality, although as Belinda Probert points out in her lecture ‘Class in 2001’, (Probert, 2001) this equality did not extend to women, Aborigines or people from non Anglo races. This egalitarian belief was founded on the notion of a fair and decent wage, an ideal proposed by Justice Higgins of the Commonwealth Court of Conciliation and Arbitration in 1907, when he set the first minimum weekly wage. This wage 1 was to reflect the cost of living, the amount of money required by an average person for the basic necessities of life; food and water, housing and clothing. This was called the Harvester Judgment. What is class? It is a division in society of a group of people who all have a similar social and economic status. For Karl Marx this...

Due to globalisation, TNCs have set up subsidiaries that operate in under developed foreign countries like Asia. They operate in the areas of manufacturing of components for computers, assembly, contractors, suppliers, software, technical services, and retailers. As per the OECD ICT Industry Outlook, 2008. Total employment for the global electronics industry was estimated at 15 million workers worldwide. Revenues for the top 250 electronic firms were $3.8 trillion, and the top countries exporting ICT goods were the following nations; China, European Union, United States, Korea, Japan. The recorded fasted growing export countries are; Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, Thailand, Eastern Europe (EICC, 2008) . Due to deregulation of markets and the competition in the electronics industry, transnational corporations such as Apple, and HP have set up operations in developing countries in order to profit off of these developing nations. Many TNCs take advantage of such high profit, low wage labour markets...

...Cultural Diversity in Australia Paper by John Thompson, Collection Research, Documentation and Promotion, for the National Conservations and Preservation Strategy Public Forum, October 1996. Introduction This paper has been written in response to an invitation from the Conservation Working Party of the Heritage Collections Committee of the Cultural Ministers Council. Its purpose is to consider the implications of cultural diversity in Australia in a program which seeks to implement the National Conservation and Preservation Policy for Movable Cultural Heritage issued by the Heritage Collections Committee of the Cultural Ministers Council in September 1995. That document included ten policy statements intended to provide the framework for a proposed National Conservation Strategy which might pave the way for a concerted effort to improve the conservation status of heritage collections in Australia. In relation to cultural diversity, the statement of policy (Policy Statement 2) was expressed as follows: The Commonwealth, State, Territory and Local Governments acknowledge the diversity of cultures of the Australian people which should be reflected in the definition and identification of movable cultural heritage. Expressed in this way, the policy statement does little more than state the obvious that Australia is a culturally diverse community and that efforts, unspecified, should be made to ensure that justice is done to this demographic and social reality in the programs which...

Wood Rutgers University-Camden, USA Abstract: Caribbean cruise tourism provides a particularly illuminating vantage point for understanding the processes of globalization in the world today. After documenting the rapid expansion of this business, the paper explores three central manifestations of globalization at work in the Caribbean cruise industry: the restructuring of the industry in the face of global competition, capital mobility, and labor migration; new patterns of global ethnic recruitment and strati®cation, including their incorporation into the product marketed to tourists; and deterritorialization, cultural theming, and simulation. The paper asserts that this ``globalization at sea'' illustrates the contradictions, ambiguities, and unchartered course of contemporary globalization processes.
