1. On the cartoon. When we contrasting between the two cartoons, we believe that the cartoon that representing Australian National Flag invokes critical thinking. That arguing certain points and needs further investigation. Firstly, taking the notes of the sixth stars for example. We would argue the start that used to express “the six reasons the health system doesn’t work” is a little bit fallacious. On the certain point, it raises doubt to the reader on the given definition. On the other hand, we also argue that the illustration given by the artist was an expression to criticize the government. The flag used as a satire to address the issues that maybe arise in Australia. In conclusion, the points that we’ve provided considered to be relevant as critical thinking process. Because the cartoon triggered the reader to interpret the meaning, value, interest etc. behind the cartoon itself. 2. On the “Green Banana” reading. …show more content…
By definition, the author define learning as allowing discovery to take place in the process of learning itself.
The argument given by the author is one of the purpose of education is to widen possibilities for discovery and expand learning and the change for mutual acceptance and recognition of a wider world. To Support his argument, the author put the research on The Experiment in International Living as the evidence. The research was about a student that went into a foreign culture exposure. As the writer argue that the cultures of the world are full of unexpected with the “green banana”. That exposure give student such ability to discover the meaning and the value of the culture, and significantly it gives the ability for the student to understand the world
better. Based on the reading, the main point that the author tried to elaborate was to understand the world better, someone shouldn’t only see the world by his own perspective. But also learn how to accept the differences in the world. The strength of this reading is it invites us to appreciate and respect the differentiation in the world. And the weakness of this reading is the fact that not all students can travel or experience the other culture. It might be because of the social-economic status, political setting, or the location. We believe that the reading itself was intended to student, teacher and the authorities. If students read this text they will realize the importance of knowing other cultures, teachers will encourage their students to do it and authorities will create the opportunities for these students to get to know different cultures.
The 2014 Walkley Award winning documentary, "Cronulla Riots: the day that shocked the nation" reveals to us a whole new side of Aussie culture. No more she’ll be right, no more fair go and sadly no more fair dinkum. The doco proved to all of us (or is it just me?) that the Australian identity isn’t really what we believe it to be. After viewing this documentary
The old Negro was known as more of a myth than a man, because of the vindictive formula’s of who Negroes were allowed to be way back when. When it came to African Americans, there was always debate as to how they should be treated, because of the color of their skin. In addition to being condemned and silenced as if they had no voice. Commonly being enslaved whether it was physically or mentally the old Negro could not dispose of past, history has contributed to them socially. Furthermore, the old Negro never knew his worth he was known as a “creature of moral debate” treated like a non human figure in society eyes. In order to get ahead or outsmart the old Negro played the role of a trickster, because of their socially declination they played
...at these several events in our nation’s history have demoralised our reputation to other countries globally. To make us known as a better country to other nations, we’ve completely abolished the White Australia Policy, gave back the aborigines their freedoms and we were also the first country in the world to give women rights. Australia today in present day is now one of the most multicultural societies on Earth, and we definitely follow our values of mateship, acceptance and freedom.
The political side which emerges from the use of humor, irony, and attack against an unqualified and unskilled art community, particularly in the context of contemporary politics. The picture makes fun of the arrogance and presumption of the art critics as the author wants to show that art analysts cannot determine and judge the beauty, aesthetic, and meaning of a picture without the opinion of the cow.
Grief and loss often trigger a desire for a change of lifestyle or a reflection on one’s current lifestyle, goals, and living purpose. This experience of misery gives the opportunity for improvement of one’s life and an appreciation for the previously unnoticed aspects of life. In the novella Kitchen by Banana Yoshimoto, the protagonist Mikage recovers from the grief and pain of the death of her family members and adopts an appreciation for the kitchen. Recovering from the recent loss of her grandmother, Mikage is vulnerable and weak. Initially, she adopts a fondness for the kitchen’s ability to allow her to feel comfortable within society. Furthermore, Mikage appreciates the kitchen’s ability to foster her creativity through cooking and indulging
Through numerous poetic techniques Paterson has shown that the Australian diversity is as diverse as the country itself. The Australian identity concerns the way Australia is viewed by other people. There are a variety of different aspects that contribute to this identity of Australia which include historical icons. Paterson recognizes how lucky we are to live on a land notorious for its diverse landscape. He is signaling that we are missing out and we need to cherish the great land we were given.
...our in the development of Australian identity has been demonstrated through the ideas previously described. Our humour is very unique and is described as dry, anti-authoritarian, ironic, self-mocking and is able to stretch the boundaries of what is normally accepted by society. This humour plays an important part in the Australian Identity. Many events in Australia’s history have shaped our individual type of humour into what it is today such as the Anzacs at Gallipoli, early federation and settlement. Much of our humour has developed through times of great hardship such as the World Wars. Other countries see humour as a distinctive part of our identity. So it can now be seen that due to the overwhelming information explaining how and why humour is significant, that it can be realised that it played a very fundamental role in the development of Australian identity.
Humans who live in different places that have different geographical conditions create culture, and people in different geographical conditions have different lifestyle, different demand, and different daily activities. Humans’ basic requirement of life was fulfilled with the development of human societies, then the new demand and problems occurred. As time went on, human started to analyze orthodox things, and that was the “prototype” of culture. Cultures in the current human’s society have many disparities due to their unique living environment, but people cannot make the judgment of different cultures. The existence of culture led the developing of human’s society; any country in the world cannot survive without its traditional culture. People should work on the interchange and communication on diverse cultures, but not look down on some other cultures.
The thoughts expressed in this article can be related to a lot of events throughout history. The thesis of this article is that Western culture in itself is a unique and diverse culture, but it is not, nor will it ever be, the culture of the rest of the world. Two theories are introduced, the Coca-colonization theory and the modernization theory. However, the Coca-colonization theory is disreputated as the true meaning of culture revolves around religion, language, societal customs, and moral values.
To begin and the foremost point, the artist utilizes the modes of discourse. Starting off, to separate their premise of political ideology, the artist used Classification and division. The ideology is divided along the economic axis, and is classified using the means of production, notably the ownership thereof. Next, the artist uses Comparison and contrast to differentiate Capitalism and Communism, to highlight the cartoon’s purpose. In comparison, both
For people who know more than one language, it is easier to establish a new relationship because they can easily talk to different people having no fear of being not understood. Those people tend to be more sociable and tend to show more respect and trust to other participants of the communication process. People who grow multilingual are more cosmopolitan after they grow up. In addition, those people are more willing to discover new aspects of life, to challenge themselves, and to experience other cultures and what they have to offer to them. Multilingual people show the tendency to be aware of the value of other cultures, and they are open to the new development and to various kinds of innovations. The knowledge of a language helps them to develop intercultural sensibility, and they recognize the need to learn other cultures. Moreover, discovering other cultures, people read the literature written in respective language and learn traditions connected to the language, which result in developing “fundamental thinking patterns of the target culture” in addition to the ones of the native culture (Liu). Considering all those aspects of personality development, multilingualism brings numerous benefits to the people in terms of the communication and learning new cultures. With regard to this, establishing connections with people from different cultures results in the expansion of one’s world perception and cultural awareness. They contribute to the advantages that are present in other spheres of
short education and culture is correlated together. Education can influence culture or otherwise, vice versa. According to Vivekananda (2009) if there is a great culture, there is also high developed educational system behind it. There are evidences that demonstrate the benefits of making an educational environment that can be useful to and reflective to student realities, background, and culture (Kana’iaupuni, Ledward& Jensen, 2010)
Universities are the center of every country to give citizen education and the right to study in a democratic society. Many developed countries spend a lot of money on education is because they also consider only educated people can take care and responsibility on their country. With the right of education, many students, especially the one with financial issues, can go to school as same as everyone. By taking apart of the discrimination on the poor, education can make ones stronger and equip themselves with different kinds of skills in the universities. In some universities, like mine, global education is important for those who wants to develop their society. With studying globally in the university, students can learn that how global studies change our world, and therefore, students will take their responsibilities on develop their society.
Education is the significant instrument of empowerment: individual, society and nation. It has been given a place of great importance and provided by all civilized societies through centuries.
