...The Second World War was indeed one of the most important overseas conflict in which Australians participated in the entirety of the nation’s history. It is also the most important conflict for Australians in terms of social reforms, political reforms in particular Australia’s foreign policy and in terms of developing policies as well as military reforms. Australia was directly involved in the Second World War ever since Germany invaded Poland and this prompted Australia to wage war on Germany right away. This new war announcement propelled Australia into the Second World War without a mere hint of hindrance or any other sort of hesitation with the then Prime Minister, Robert Menzies announcing “it is my melancholy duty to inform you officially, that in consequence of a persistence by Germany in her invasion of Poland, Great Britain has declared war upon her and that, as a result, Australia is also at war.” Australians became directly involved with the British forces as well as the forces of the United States of America and fought in three theatres of war including the European frontier, the pacific Campaign and the North African campaign. Being a regular armed force of the Allies, Australia became sworn enemies of Japan, Germany and Italy as well as other...

...How Did Post World War 2 Migration Change Australia in Terms of Jobs? After World War 2, many immigrants came to seek refuge in Australia. People from all over the world, including Poland, Yugoslavia, Lithuania, Ukraine, Hungary, Italy, Bulgaria, Romania and the UK came half way across the world to Australia. Australia extremely benefitted from this immigration program as labour shortages were met, which ultimately created prosperity. Australia’s immigration program helped the population almost double to 13 million, from 7 million. Out of these 13, 3 million were migrants and refugees from different countries. The main reason for migrating to Australia was in the search of jobs. These people also help to protect Australia from external threats and to extend the countries prosperity. Although, before being allowed into the country, migrants were required to pass a dictation test in any European language. Arthur Caldwell, the Australian Minister for immigration in 1945 once said “Australia wants, and will welcome, new healthy citizens who are determined to become good Australians.” When the population nearly doubled Australia’s labour shortages were slimmed and these refugees contributed to the making of modern Australia. Once these people started working Australia’s economy dramatically increased....

...Only recently has the notion of being part of the world community come into focus in China. Many believe China’s introduction to the world stage commenced in 1972, when it replaced Taiwan as representative in the United Nations. Furthermore when Deng came into Power in 1980 and ended the Cultural Revolution, China was freed from its economic reforms. China’s leaders became convinced that large amounts of capital could be acquired from abroad to speed up the country’s modernization, a change in attitude that elicited an almost frenetic response from foreign bankers and entrepreneurs. Since then China has become a member of the United Nations Security Council, admission to the World Trade organization in 2001; selected to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games and in 2010 staged a successful Expo Shanghai, which was China’s world exposition that showcased the most technologically advanced metropolises. These were all considered significant steps in Chinas further integration into the global community. Since then Hong Kong and Taiwan have become China’s biggest partners in investment and trade. However Japan, the Unites States, Western Europe, Singapore and Australia have also joined the bandwagon with sizable partnerships with China. The main inhibitor in China’s efforts to participate in the world community is its dispute with Taiwan. Countries establishing diplomatic relations with China are forced to end relations with Taiwan. Since America pledged its support to Taiwan against...

...In most societies, wine can be found as a component of celebration or religious ceremony, but in today's world wine has been put into a new arena- a battlefield of tradition and innovation, where old world conservatives clash with new world revolutionaries. The difficulty of producers to achieve "branding" and to establish themselves in a modern, global market has caused the two conflicting worlds to adjust their practices. Wine-makers and new industry players alike find themselves challenged not only by each other but also by the ever-evolving market they find themselves in. In the following paper group ten collectively presents the research and case analysis of the article, “Global Wine War 2009: New World versus Old”, written by Christopher Bartlett. This paper will present the goals and constraints of the new world Australian wine industry breaking into the United States, along with our competitive analysis. We will show you the hurdles that this new world industry faces in a competitive environment and outline their strengths and weaknesses.

...Traditional Japanese Culture and its Influence in Australia. Abstract: This paper looks at traditional Japanese culture in its entirety, and how exactly certain traditional aspects have influenced societies within Australia. The purpose of this research was to not only discover how exactly Japanese culture is recognised within Australian society today; but also to identify how Australians have gravitated towards the culture in general, allowing for major aspects to become part of their everyday life. The start of this research began to look at past views of Japan in Australia (which covered the White Australia Policy, and attitudes during and after World War II), and contrasted this with Australians present day perspectives of Japan. The research then continued to look at traditional cultural aspects of Japan such as; Japanese dining and mannerisms, sport, religion and spirituality, and visual arts, and then continued to discuss exactly how these aspects have impacted and influenced Australia and its members of society. The findings of this research reached a conclusion that although Japan was once perceived extremely negative by Australians, its influence within the Australian wider community is not only undeniable, but immensely beneficial and constructive to society. Introduction The culture of Japan is a multi-layered and intricate system that has been developed and sustained for over thousands of years. The Japanese culture combines both ancient and contemporary...

It is one of the world’s most urbanised countries, with about 70 per cent of the population living in the 10 largest cities. Most of the population is concentrated along the eastern seaboard and the south-eastern corner of the continent.

Four out of 10 Australians are migrants or the first-generation children of migrants, half of them from non-English speaking backgrounds. In 1991-92, East Asia contributed 41 per cent of settler arrivals. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people totalled 265 378 at the last census, nearly 1.5 per cent of the population.
