Migration
10 Pound Pom Scheme
European migrant and re-settlement scheme
Devised at the end of WWII
Its purpose was to boost the number of "white" workers
Focused on the UK
Did not reach its target numbers so it was expanded to include "orientals"
Asian Migration
Migrants were promised houses, employment and high income - majority did not find work
New problems and cultures developed
The end of the white Australia policy
A number of Asian nations contributed to the Perth suburbs
Cultural Hybridisation
Process of multiple cultures existing within an area and through time, converging into one "greater" shared culture
Within Australia we have seen the Hybridisation of "white" European cultures with many oriental and eastern cultures. This has coined the term "Multi-culturalism"
Anti-Migration
The movement or political ideology which is directly opposed to the migration of people either to or from their nation of origin
Globally this is focused on the movement of refugees and Asylum seekers
Groups opposed to Globalistaion
One Nation + Pauline Hansos
(some) Small business owners
Indigenous populations
Some refugees make dangerous sea voyages to get here and need to be stopped
This is the position of our Federal government today
Cultural Globalisation
Things that cross international borders
The Global Village
Standardization
Hybridization
The overwhelming dominance of multinational companies in the production of cultural goods creates a "convergence effect"
Trade - goods + services
Capital - money
People - immigrants, tourists, refugees
Communication
Culture
Ideas
All regions are in contact with one another through the mass media, instantaneous communication, intercontinental travel and highly integrated economic and political networks
Mix and match from different sources, old and new, local and global
Hybrids help negotiate change and continuity while helping individuals to establish identity and difference
