public sFAIR?


As a nation, we are not only multi-cultural but we acknowledge all religions and accommodate to those religious needs. Australia is made up of different ethnic groups as a result of diaspora. Diaspora is when people move and take their culture with them; again this can be more simplified into a word commonly known as immigration.  To create a visual, I am going to revolve this specific blog around people from the Middle East moving into Australia.

Australia has had to adapt to welcome comfortably all nationalities, so much so that by having to adjust to make them feel comfortable the country has had to make sacrifices. ‘Globalisation is not simply a trend or a fad but is, rather, an international system; Globalisation has its own rules and logic that today directly or indirectly influence the politics, environment, geopolitics and economics of virtually every country in the world’ ( Hatchen & Scotton, 2002) .

For an example of how drastic Australia has had to accommodate our visitors and future residences, can be seen within our fun park in Queensland, Movie World, which has built a mosque so that Muslims are able to pray. By Catholics being the most dominant religion within Australia, why isn’t there a church within an Australian theme park?

The fashion of diaspora revolves around the evolution of public sphere, and the public sphere changes because of diaspora. Hatchen & Scotton (2002) claim ‘the rapid integration of the world’s economy has been facilitated by an information revolution driven by communication’. This communication has to do with the evolving change because of how the way the world evolves due to public sphere.
