  • Comparing Australian Poems 'Life Cycle And Drifters'

    588 Words  | 2 Pages

    The concept of Distinctly Australian comes from the Australian culture and stereotypes surrounding our way of life. Australian culture has many faces and can present itself in many ways; two poems from Bruce Dawe that explore this idea are ‘Life Cycle’ and ‘Drifters’ which show varied aspects of Australian life, from the rigid structure and lifelong passion for sport in our nation to the constant upheaval and alienation that comes from drifting in and out of communities looking for work. Another view of distinctly Australian comes from the short story ‘Big World’ by Tim Winton which explores mateship and what that means within our society. These texts present the viewer with a powerful insight into Australian culture and also show them how their view of what is distinctly Australian varies depending on the

  • Ethnocentricity and Non-Aboriginal Australians

    1304 Words  | 3 Pages

    There is little said about aboriginal people in early Australian history books. What we do know is that the view of Non-Aboriginal people was very ethnocentric. The opinion was that Aboriginal was that they were savages and little regard was made for the fact that Aboriginal people had to live off this land that was now being used for agriculture. Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal relations during the nineteenth century consisted of violent disputes over the ownership of land, food and water. During this period Aboriginal children were taken from their families and used as a source of labour for European farmers. “The greatest advantage of young Aboriginal servants was that they came cheap and were never paid beyond the provision of variable quantities of food and clothing. As a result any European on or near the frontier, quite regardless of their own circumstances, could acquire and maintain a personal servant” (Arrufat 1930).

  • The Americanization of Food

    1403 Words  | 3 Pages

Furthermore, food was filled with psychological, cultural, religious, and emotional significance. During this period, a unique court tradition of cuisine and sophisticated table manners emerged to distinguish the social elite from the ordinary people. However, during the 19th century, the history of food slightly changed as it became a defining symbol of national identity. This period was characterized by the association of several dishes to particular countries and cultures (Mintz, par 1). For instance, American hamburger and tomato-based Italian spaghetti are cultural foods that were in...
