1. Definition of Australian Identity
index
"Trying to define national identity is like searching for the end of a rainbow." [6]It is not something we can find or a destination we can all get; it is something that develops through time and across generations. It is also a contentious topic that creates a sense of personal belonging. [6]
AUSTRALIAN IDENTITY
Mateship, a fair go, the Aussie battler, egalitarianism, and diversity are some popular terms used to describe Australia's identity, but do they still apply today?Australia's national identity, according to Monash University's Pro Vice-Chancellor, is "complicated and divided."
AUSTRALIAN IDENTITY
Professor Margaret Gardner, Vice-Chancellor of Monash University, says, "Our national identity, such as it is, is an unfurling and becoming type of identity.""It's shaped by what's gone before, how that's been incorporated, and the confluence of who makes us up now. It's also made up of the choices we make." [6]
[11]
