Tv Show Persuasive Speech
Persuasive Speech
Hello. Today I’m going to explain how the representations of Australian Culture in TV are accurate. I have here with me three sources: The Castle, Kath & Kim and 48 shades. These all have a fairly accurate view on what it’s like in Australia (mostly Logan), although some skits are a little far fetched. In each show they have their own kind of representation, The castle represents the racism, Kath and Kim represent the bogan image and “48 shades” shows us the wild side of it all.

There are many things we could focus on in “The Castle” but I’d like to take a look at racism. Now, we know that there is in fact a foreigner there, but he doesn’t quite fit in. The characters in the movie aren’t racist to the foreigner know

Kath is an older woman who still attends TAFE to take a flower arrangement course, she doesn’t have a Job but she lives off the income of her live-in boyfriend (Kel). Kim is Kath’s daughter, and she is by far what we would call Bogan. Kim has no job, is extremely lazy and relies on her fiancée Brett for EVERYTHING. At one point in the series, Kim attempts to get pregnant (Taking many pregnancy tests that read “- -“which actually means positive BUT she thinks it means she’s not pregnant). Kath and Kim also mispronounce words and confuse their meanings, with a quote from Kim to support it “Are you a psycho or something?” She says this meaning “psychic”. When you think about it there are MANY Australians that are like this, you’re more likely to find them in cheaper areas or housing commissions. This is why Logan is filled with people like this, because it is a cheap area. In Logan we have many homes for housing commission and lots of people on the dole simply because of its cheapness. People in housing commissions and such are usually what we consider Bogan. You could also refer to a TVs. Show called “houseos” this show is all about people on the dole and people in housing commissions. Both of these accurately represent some of the people throughout

    I think one of the main messages about Australia conveyed in The castle is the fact that Australians are not terribly materialistic and in general are quite simplistic. They appreciate the simple positive things in life no matter how unimportant or visually unappealing they may be to others. Darryl Kerrigan views the world in a unique way. He looks at the humming…

    There are many different ways of living in our Multicultural Australian Society, but is there a right one? You could be either rich or poor, Catholic or Christian, skinny or fat, popular or unpopular, all of which are different ways of living. The poems which Komninos composes, the article written by Laura Demasi and the television show Big Brother, all explore the aspects of living in an Australian society and the affects they have on people.…

    Modern Australian culture has been influenced by many different countries. Many of the people who have come to Australia since 1945 were motivated by a commitment to family, or a desire to escape poverty, war or persecution. Great Britain colonized Australia with the purpose to explore new lands and alleviate the burden of over crowded prisons in Great Britain. People of the Asia Pacific Region immigrated to Australia because they were geographically close and it was largely due to the Gold Rush. During World War 2, many US Soldiers were stationed in Australia mainly for training and some for rest and recreation. Apart from their accents, the visiting soldiers brought lots of money, goods, clothes and music that had never been seen or heard in Australia. As there were so many soldiers, they were abundantly supplied with their luxuries and comforts from their home country. All of a sudden, Australia was introduced to American culture. Since then, and prior to the new media era, Australia has also been exposed to many varied and different American television shows eg The Brady Bunch, Get Smart,…

    The stereotypes or images of the typical ‘Aussie bloke’ (drinking hard, swearing, humour, anti- authoritarianism, slang, individuality and mateship) contradict the images of femininity, emotion and an ignorance of practical skills. A good example of this is the attempt Tick/Mitzi made to be masculine for his son with the iconic bush hat and outback clothes which actually disguises his real identity.…

    Australia is a unique and diverse country where among many people have strongly held beliefs, values and attitudes. Australians claim themselves to be a multicultural society. It is a nation that allows immigrants and ethnic minorities into the Australian life extremely fast. However, there are many stereotypes held about different minority and groups within the Australian society. Stereotypes are often generalized, durable and inaccurate, the problem with stereotyping is that, it becomes the principle of identifying characteristics for people from a particular culture or tribe. The stereotypical idea of “all Australians are white and love the beach” is injurious enough, and a stereotypical statement such as “all aboriginal people are dole…

    The Castle

    • 677 Words
    • 3 Pages

    I think the most central message about Australia being presented in his movie is to do with Family values. The Kerrigan's, are the perfect representation of the traditional Australian family. They are a family which eats dinner together at the same time every night, with Darryl, unfailingly complementing Sal on her cooking. They love each other and respect each other, and even though Wayne is in jail for armed robbery they are all as proud of him as each other. The film pokes a lot of fun at the Kerrigan's and Australians in general. But the typical Australian family with the pool room, patio & trading post on the kitchen table evoke something deeper in us than a quaint fondness. Although we spend a lot of the film laughing at them and their some what ignorant ways, we find by the end of the film that we have built a kind of bond with them. Despite their to some extent typical Australian foolishness we see that they are a family that is…

    Throughout history, time travel has been an imaginative dream of many. The British show Doctor Who brings those, and many other dreams to life. For most any who have seen the incredibly genius show Doctor Who, it is hoped, dreamt, and wished to be real. The episodes are filled with suspense, humor, terror, and raw emotion. Everyone should watch this blockbuster show because it is entertaining, emotional, engrossing, educational, and some episodes are even eerie.…

    20th Century Fox, I am writing to you to protest a cable show of yours I believe should be canceled. Your adult animated sitcom Family Guy, is a complete failure and I urge you to rethink running this show. Family Guy shows no sign of creativity and no sign of valuable content. It has no message and delivers a half an hour of obscenity. I will begin to explain in detail why I strongly believe you should cancel this show.…

    Australian Identity

    • 636 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Australians are perceived in text as, beer-drinking larrikins, people who use kangaroos as a transportation, crocodile wrestlers, lack in fashion, foster beers, desert, sparsely populated and bushmans and mateship. However these representations are not true. Stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing. National identity is a person's identity and sense of belonging to one state or to one nation, a feeling one shares with a group of people, regardless of one's citizenship status. Some examples of national identity in Australia are beer-drinking larrikins, country Folk, convicts, racists, bogen/ocker Australian slang for example g’day. I strongly believe that Australia does have a distinctive stereotype, however they are not perceived in text accurately in modern days in Australia. The three arguments will include movies such as: Crocodile Dundee, Muriels Wedding and Australia. These specific movies starr’s Australian actors of how they have a portrayal of Australian stereotypes.…

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…

    Fair Go Australia

    • 903 Words

    Australia and the people who live here have developed over time an identity of an egalitarian or fair nation. This perception by other countries and by Australian residents as a land of opportunity and a country who supports the culture of a "Fair Go" for everyone dominates. This egalitarian depiction of Australia has come about because of more than 200 hundred years of immigration since European settlement. Today one in every five Australians were born overseas and immigrated to Australia creating the cultural representation of an accepting, tolerant country where all people have an opportunity to get along and to achieve.…
