I took the International Cultural Quiz on Australia. I have always wanted to visit Australia, but it’s always been the sites, that have made me want to visit. Just like many others, I want to see the Great Barrier Reef, go to the Outback, and maybe see a show at the Sydney Opera House. When taking the quiz, I did horrendous; I sometimes rush a little and should think a little more about the questions before I answered. For example, when asked when tea time is in Australia, you think of tea as a lunch thing, thus I said Two P.M. to Four P.M., beings that was the earliest choice to choose from, however, I learned that their tea time is in the early evening from Six P.M. to Eight P.M... I should have known better than to think that their …show more content…

I believe every type of company needs a marketing team. When I graduate, I hope to already have a year of interning under my belt, but I also hope to find a company that is supporting, and not degrading. For a job in marketing, I will need to be able to listen and communicate clearly, whether it is orally, or in writing. Moreover, have the capability to coordinate, plan, make decisions and a bit of persuasion. I will either have to wear my glasses, get contacts, or get Lasik, because I know my eyes are not as sharp as they should be for a job in …show more content…

However, I was reminded of the hideously large spiders that are produced there, I’m not sure I could handle living among them, but I will definitely visit one day. If I do happen to live there, then I will have to be rich enough to build an electric shocker on my land that would zap any insect that tried to come into my house. I should mention that I cannot show off my wealth in Australia at any time because it would make me look pompous. Australia seems like an amazing country/continent, and I believe I could fit in there. The laid back, but punctual culture is what draws me in the

    Australian indigenous culture is the world’s oldest surviving culture, dating back sixty-thousand years. Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders have been represented in a myriad of ways through various channels such as poetry, articles, and images, in both fiction and non-fiction. Over the years, they have been portrayed as inferior, oppressed, isolated, principled and admirable. Three such texts that portray them in these ways are poems Circles and Squares and Grade One Primary by Ali Cobby Eckermann, James Packer slams booing; joins three cheers for footballer and the accompanying visual text and Heywire article Family is the most important thing to an islander by Richard Barba.

  • Australian Screen Culture: The Evolution Of The Australian Screen Culture

    With the evolution over the past century of Australia’s screen culture, the industry through both its success and failures has fostered “An Australian film industry, [which] enables Australia to talk to itself, recognize itself and engage the attention of the world in doing so” (Dermody & Jacka, 1987, p 17). Three impactful films within Australian screen culture have been Muriel’s Wedding (House, Moorhouse & Hogan, 1994), Bra Boys (Abberton & DeSouza, 2007) and Samson and Delilah (Shelper & Thornton, 2009), which through their story, funding, release strategies and audience have become influential films for defining “Australian-ness” within Australian screen culture.

    Australia and Indonesia are fairly different countries although they have a few things in common. In 2008, the statistics convey that Australia holds 21 million people whilst Indonesia has a population of 227 million. Due to the fact that Australia has a late land mass compared to the other country, the population density of 3 people per square km. Juxtaposing this fact, Indonesia’s population density is 125 people per square km, which is a given since Indonesia is a very small country with a large population.

  • Relativity In Anthropology

    Clifford Geertz once said: “Cultural analysis is intrinsically incomplete. And, worse than that, the more deeply it goes the less complete it is.” I recently spent a short amount of time at a busy 5-way traffic circle near my residence. While sitting in one spot for about 25 minutes, I observed many people doing many different things (mainly driving). Observing the various people made me think of what their particular cultures may have been, and from there, I began thinking of culture in and of itself. What is culture? Culture is defined as: Ideas and behaviors that are learned and transmitted. Nongenetic means of adaptation (Park, 2008). Culture plays a vital role in anthropology. After all, anthropology is the holistic, scientific study of humankind (Park, 2008). One cannot study humans as a whole without studying and understanding their cultures as well.

    “Marketing managers typically have a bachelor’s degree in marketing or business administration; however, some employers may prefer a master’s degree, in addition to extensive experience in marketing, advertising, brand management, or sales” (Marketing Manager: Career Info & Requirements). It is not impossible to get a job with a bachelor’s degree but to stay on the safe side, a person should really get a master’s degree. It is always a great idea to be educated in other areas other than marketing that will help benefit you and your future job in marketing. Being a big talker would make this an easy job because a person who wants to become a marketing manager needs to have strong communication skills as well as presentation skills. Someone must be willing to go after what they want, be able to juggle many things at once especially while under a whole lot of pressure, and have a creative mind when it comes to having to make up things right on the spot. A marketing manager must be able to work well with people that they work with as well as working with new employees in training how to do the job and motivate them to do their best. Since most of marketing occurs on the internets nowadays, they will have to be well educated with computers, the internet, and budgeting of many kinds. Having extraordinary communications will also be a big factor in this field of business and will help you the most. If someone who is really shy wants to go into this field, they probably should not because being quiet while being a marketing manager is not going to help them at
