Colonization brought influences from the British, European, and Dutch. Geography also plays a role as Australia is a leading producer of wheat, sheep, cattle, fruits, and dairy products. For example, a popular snack in Australia are scones, who perhaps have British and Dutch influences. Popular Aussie foods also include things like biscuits and lamingtons which show the wheat that's widely cultivated. To conclude, Australian cuisine is impacted and shaped by different factors that make it a diverse range of foods. ]]> 2018-05-09 17:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kayla_garibay/h3737dgia1au/wish/259372251 kayla_garibay https://padlet.com/kayla_garibay/h3737dgia1au/wish/259372458 The outback makes up two-thirds of the continent of Australia. About 12,000 people live in it. This affects the people of Australia because it means that most of the population is concentrated around the coast, leading to crowded and busy urban cities. There is about 100 people per square mile around the coasts versus less than one person in the outback. All in all, the Outback does it's part in shaping Australia, by creating uneven population distribution. ]]> 2018-05-09 17:05:21 UTC https://padlet.com/kayla_garibay/h3737dgia1au/wish/259372458 kayla_garibay https://padlet.com/kayla_garibay/h3737dgia1au/wish/259372501 Like the Great Barrier Reef, the Australian economy is shaped by the geography of the continent. 70% of the country is desert, including the well-known "Outback". This affects the economy because Australians do not have as much land to be able to farm on as other nations do. Even so, they manage to farm on about 52% of the land. They are also major wheat producers because of this. In addition, the dry deserts also mean that the population density is very low in these areas and there is a significant difference between the urban areas and the desert areas. In conclusion, this is how Australia is impacted by it's geography. ]]> 2018-05-09 17:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kayla_garibay/h3737dgia1au/wish/259372501 kayla_garibay https://padlet.com/kayla_garibay/h3737dgia1au/wish/259372576 Many Australians enjoy going out and being active for entertainment. Sports make up a big factor in their free time such as Aussie-Rules Football (Example of diffusion!), Rugby, and Netball. They also enjoy going out for hikes, camping, and going to festivals. This shapes the people in Australia because it makes them more physically healthy. For example, only 63% of Australia is obese or overweight versus an average of 70% for the United States. All in all, the leisure-time activities contribute greatly to the health of Australians. ]]> 2018-05-09 17:05:41 UTC https://padlet.com/kayla_garibay/h3737dgia1au/wish/259372576 kayla_garibay https://padlet.com/kayla_garibay/h3737dgia1au/wish/259372658 In Australia, there is no official language. Even so, most Australians speak English. There is more than 200 spoken languages, and it contributes to the increasing diversity of the continent. I believe the various languages shape Australia in a negative way because it makes a language barrier between citizens. All in all, Australia is a diverse country and the languages it holds makes a neutral impact. ]]> 2018-05-09 17:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kayla_garibay/h3737dgia1au/wish/259372658 kayla_garibay https://padlet.com/kayla_garibay/h3737dgia1au/wish/259372694 The Great Barrier Reef also does it's part in contributing to what Australia is today. On average, the Reef attracts over 2 million tourists per year. Due to this, they make about $5-6 billion per year. The economy is greatly shaped by the Reef and it also helps increase population . This is how the Great Barrier Reef helps shape the environment in Australia. ]]> 2018-05-09 17:05:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kayla_garibay/h3737dgia1au/wish/259372694 kayla_garibay https://padlet.com/kayla_garibay/h3737dgia1au/wish/259373550 The culture in Australia is extremely diverse because of many influencing factors due to colonization and such. Almost 1 in 4 Australians are born outside of Australia. There is also many indigenous Australians that have lived on the continent for more than 50,000 years. These factors help create a diverse culture and society because they shape who they are and how they think and perceive things. All in all, Australia is one of the most diverse places on the planet because of this.]]> 2018-05-09 17:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kayla_garibay/h3737dgia1au/wish/259373550 kayla_garibay https://padlet.com/kayla_garibay/h3737dgia1au/wish/259373568 Religion shapes Australians in many ways. To begin, the main religion found in Australia is Christianity. In Christianity, the morals and rules are the foundations of the actual religion. Christians in Australia (Around 52.1% of the population) behave differently due to honoring the morals of the religion, and think differently because of the impact of the religion on their lives. Therefore, religion in Australia, specifically Christianity, can shape and mold the ways they act, behave, and think. ]]> 2018-05-09 17:08:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kayla_garibay/h3737dgia1au/wish/259373568
