Western idea usually means an idea originally from and developed in the Western culture. A Western idea can concern various things, such as politics, philosophy, science, and art. Definition of the West is not simple. The West sometimes thought as European countries and their colonies, so for example, the United States, Canada, and Australia are also regarded as the West. Although Australia has a history that had an experience of colonisation by the British, Australia also has experienced its own development in and engagement with the world.…
Throughout history Australian politicians have been represented as people who marginalise social groups. This began with federation in 1901 with the oppression of pacific island workers called Kanakas and continued on with the increasingly racist and bigoted laws passed to marginalise Chinese, Italians and many other social groups through the early to mid 1900 's. It 's commonly accepted that Australian politicians pretend to ‘listen’ to what the people want for this nation then abandon those ideas and pass laws for their own personal agenda, instead of using the input of every day Australians, particularly in heated social, economic and environmental topics. In this essay I will be discussing how politicians have been represented over time…

I do agree with Marx that there is blind faith involved in many religions. While growing up a majority of people were instilled with the idea of going to church every weekend typically on a Sunday for service or Sunday school that by doing so it would save their souls. If the faithful truly internalize a system of religious rewards and punishments, their religion becomes a powerful means of controlling their beliefs, behavior, and what they teach their children. (Kottak p101)…
I believe that, Canada’s Immigration policy does support canada as a multicultural country by changing and tweaking the immigration policy/events as well as the refugee policy/events over the last 100 and some odd years. The Multicultural Policy with its events was a huge world changer because Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau declared that in 1971 Canada would adopt the Multicultural Policy of Canada, and would recognize the respect of its society and included the many different languages, customs, religions. In 1982 multiculturalism was recognized by The Canadian Multiculturalism Act was then the law was made by Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau.…
From 1788 (After Europeans discovered Australia), the white settlers gradually took Aboriginal people’s traditional lands. They defined aboriginals as a doomed race (due to their intelligence and way of living). Therefore, in the name of protection, lots of policy relating to removal of children had been created and impacted on the Australian native people and their society over time. Even until now in 2016, some of the scars still cannot recover, such as loss of cultural identity, loss of language, extinction of tribes and clans and the “Stolen Generation”. These policies include the protectionism policy, the assimilation policy and the integration policy.…
Approximately 300,000 immigrants have given up their loved ones, their careers, and their comfort to come to a great nation that offered them much more.

Proudly, Canada was the first country to establish the Canadian Multiculturalism Act in 1971, which calls for the preservation and enhancement of multiculturalism in Canada.…

Canada is home to a long-standing democracy. Canada had embraced its nationalistic moments at Vimy Ridge and the Somme. However, these periods created tensions, as many foreigners received internment. Although my response to racial profiling against certain individuals, regardless of race, religion etc. would be of strong disapproval, due to terrorist activities occurring from unsecured immigration, I would personally have mixed feelings.…
