I’ve been given for school an assignment which requires us to gather information about the Australian Identity from any source and present it in a speech. So I’d like to ask everyone if they could please share their views on what they think the Australian Identity is.
I’ll provide more information if you don’t quite understand, just say so.
i guess gather information on what makes us Australian, probably our culture, way of living, night life. country and city life, sports that sorta stuff i guess.
I think most countries have an identity. It’s harder to pick one specific element for countries that are melting pots. Australia has many different ethnicities much like the U.S. When that happens it’s usually the major historical events and or pop-culture events that lead to the branding of an identity.
If you can get a copy of Bill Bryson’s book Notes From Down Under (or something like that), you’ll find a lot of good stuff in there about how people perceive the Australian nation and people.
