Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Australians and Americans assume that they understand each other more thoroughly than they actually do. In this exploration of their similarities and differences, experienced cross-cultural trainers examine such things as attitudes toward equality, approaches to leadership, conversational styles, decision making, and risk taking. They conclude that the differences are substantial and the points of potential conflict, many. Thoughtful and specific guidelines for managing relationships more effectively are offered.

Book excerpt: The 'fair go' is a core Australian value. The idea that everyone should have the opportunity to improve their lot in life is a central element of Australia's social contact and a touchstone for assessing public policy. But what exactly does it mean? And does Australia live up to this ideal? The fair go is best understood in terms of opportunity rather than equality. Not only is the egalitarian principle of equal distribution only supported by a small minority of Australians, but no society can ensure that everyone starts from the same position. Instead of equalising everyone's starting points in life, a fair go gives individuals the opportunity to improve their position in society with the right combination of ambition and natural ability. Despite periodic claims that the fair go is under attack, rates of social mobility reveal that Australia is a fair go success story. Individuals from all backgrounds move into every socioeconomic stratum in large numbers. Approximately 17% of sons born into the wealthiest quintile drop to the poorest, while12% of sons born into the poorest quintile make it to the wealthiest. At the same time, almost 1 in 10 children of fathers with the highest status jobs end up with the lowest status jobs, and slightly more than 1 in 4 children of fathers with the lowest status jobs work their way into the highest status jobs. Australia also has some of the highest rates of earnings and educational mobility in the industrialised world. The earnings advantage wealthy fathers confer on their sons is well below most OECD countries. Equally, the children of parents who did not finish secondary schooling are more likely to attain tertiary education in Australia than in other industrialised countries, while having parents with a post-secondary education confers a relatively small educational advantage. The Australian ideal of a fair go is fact rather than fiction. By offering all individuals the opportunity to capitalise on their ambition and natural ability, Australia's dynamic and socially mobile society neither safeguards the position of the privileged nor frustrates the aspirations of the disadvantaged" -- From executive summary.

Download or read book Australia's 'war on terror' Discourse written by Kathleen Gleeson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too often, existing literature has conflated the discourses that enabled the 'War on Terror', ignoring the contextual specificities of the states that make up the ’Coalition of the Willing’. Australia's 'war on terror' Discourse fills this gap by providing a full and sustained critical analysis of Australian foreign policy discourse along with the theoretical synthesis for a specific model of critical discourse analysis of the subject. The language of then Prime Minister Howard is the primary focus of the book but attention is also paid to the language of key ministers, political opponents and other prominent actors. The voices of those who challenged the dominant discourse are also considered to shed light on the ways in which discourses can be destabilised. Kathleen Gleeson shows how Howard successfully invoked narratives of identity and sovereignty that resonated with his audience and promoted his reworked narrative of Australia whilst facing dissent from many actors who voiced their opposition most successfully when they capitalised on inconsistencies within the discourse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The value of work cannot be underestimated in today's world. Work is valuable because productive labour generates goods needed for survival, such as food and housing; goods needed for self-development, such as education and culture; and other material goods that people wish to have in order to live a fulfilling life. A job also generally inspires a sense of achievement, self-esteem and the esteem of others. People develop social relations at work, which can be very important for them. Work brings both material and non-material benefits. There is no doubt that work is a crucial good. Do we have a human right to this good? What is the content of the right? Does it impose a duty on governments to promote full employment? Does it entail an obligation to protect decent work? There is also a question about the right-holders. Do migrants have a right to work, for example? At the same time many people would rather not work. What kind of right is this, if many people do not want to have it? The chapters of this book address the uncertainty and controversy that surround the right to work both in theoretical scholarship and in policymaking. They discuss the philosophical underpinnings of the right to work, and its development in human rights law at national level (in jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, France and the United States) and international level (in the context of the United Nations, the European Social Charter, the International Labour Organization, theEuropean Convention on Human Rights and other legal orders).

Download or read book Race and Inequality written by Elaine Kennedy-Dubourdieu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do societies achieve cohesion in countries where the population is formed of different racial and ethnic groups? Although the debate continues, one constant is the agreement on the need for equality for all citizens of such societies. These egalitarian principles are believed by many to underpin a stable and just society. The question then arises of how best to achieve this equality? This book looks at the policy of affirmative action as it has evolved in different parts of the world: Australia, Canada, Great Britain, India, Northern Ireland, South Africa and the United States. The detailed juxtaposition of country case-studies allows readers to make comparisons and highlight disparities. Although affirmative action has operated in favour of various segments of the population, this book concentrates on the policy with regard to racial/ethnic groups. It explores the origin of the concept: where and how the policy emerged and what form it has taken, in order to open up the debate on this highly sensitive area of social policy.
