The majority of this space is used to produce fruits and vegetables. However, there is not enough room to farm large amounts of cattle such as cows, so their protein comes manly from fish and pork. The fish is easier to obtain since the continent is an island. Their diet has shaped their way of life because their traditional dishes often include spare ribs. Their environment shaped their culture through tradition.]]> 2018-05-09 16:56:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259368964 lizeth_preciado https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259374736 2018-05-09 17:10:18 UTC https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259374736 lizeth_preciado https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259375638   Oceania, located near Australia, contains thousands of islands in the Pacific Ocean. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are common, yet it has a high population density. As a result, the civilians crowd areas safest from volcanic eruptions. This has affected their daily life and provokes them to go fishing and surfing often, as a result they have a fish based diet. Their geographic environment shaped their living standards and in turn their personalities as fishing has become integrated into their daily activities.]]> 2018-05-09 17:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259375638 lizeth_preciado https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259380726 2018-05-09 17:23:15 UTC https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259380726 lizeth_preciado https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259381146   Australia is the only continent that is also a country. Not only that, but it is the world's largest island. More than 90% of the continent is too dry for towns, and is mostly habitable near beaches. Because of this, the people are crowded in coastal areas and isolated from the rest of the continents. Due to their location, they have a very unified cultural with similar traditions in different regions since they're so isolated. Their environment has shaped their way of life]]> 2018-05-09 17:24:07 UTC https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259381146 lizeth_preciado https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259390162   As Australia is a continent, a majority of their food is fish. Many people go to Australia just to fish, because their fish are healthy and many produced in farm fed locations. Most people live in small family farms or in fishing villages and rely heavily on the tourism influx Australia brings in. Tourists bring lots of money and live stable lives, while most of Australians have generally low living standards as farmers. Their lack of farmable land and economic revenue has affected the lives of Australians there.]]> 2018-05-09 17:42:02 UTC https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259390162 lizeth_preciado https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259393152 2018-05-09 17:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259393152 lizeth_preciado https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259393533 2018-05-09 17:49:28 UTC https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259393533 lizeth_preciado https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259393944   European influences have heavily impacted the daily lives of Australians. Ferdinand Magellan and Dutch navigators were the first Europeans to inhabit Australia, then followed British colonists. The British brought their foods, such as roast beef, plum pudding, lamb cops, and fruit cakes. The immigration into the country has heavily influenced their food and culture now.]]> 2018-05-09 17:50:23 UTC https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259393944 lizeth_preciado https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259398771   Because agriculture is so important to the Australian culture, there is a heavy aura of competitiveness sourrounding competitions that revolve around livestock. Annually, Australians have a sheep sheering competition. Sheep sheerers are held in high standards in the country and it is an honor to win. There is also a competition for camel racing that is much like the American Kentucky Derby, and in this way their environment has effected their personal identities.]]> 2018-05-09 18:01:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259398771 lizeth_preciado https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259492630   The many native peoples of Africa are forced to live off the land, trusting in Mother Nature to keep them safe. The Aborigines are a tribal group of nomadic hunters. This means they travel around Australia without one true home. They believe in Dream time, and practice interpretive dances. With so much of Australia left mostly underpopulated, native tribes are able to uphold their traditions and customs. While their way of life seems outlandish to some, the native people have found home in their Australian rural environment.]]> 2018-05-10 01:18:38 UTC https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259492630 lizeth_preciado https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259493514 2018-05-10 01:25:09 UTC https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259493514 lizeth_preciado https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259493642    Less than 10% of Australia cannot be farmed, yet agriculture continues to be an import part of the Australian way of life. Farmers there practice subsistence farming, where they only grow enough food to survive; no more, no less. They do this because they have developed an appreciation for the land, and rather than abuse it by farming every area possible, they care for the surrounding nature. Australia has one of the world's harshest environments, yet the people have taken their hardships and given back, showing their appreciation for what most people in urban areas do not comprehend.]]> 2018-05-10 01:26:08 UTC https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259493642 lizeth_preciado https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259494258 2018-05-10 01:30:42 UTC https://padlet.com/lizeth_preciado/cg4hn5z6bjmw/wish/259494258
