Question 2

Critically Analyse

Length and/or format: 2000 words

Purpose: Using a true story, a movie “They’re a Weird Mob”, critically analyse how attitudes and legislation has changed the landscape in Australia in terms of diversity, expectations and behaviour. It is hard to believe that many of the cultural norms in the video were ever acceptable and explained as typical Aussie culture. Discuss what has changed; what is unacceptable today; and why this is so.

Please ensure you reference Disc 1 and 2 available on UTube (Of the movie). There is an expectation of at least 10 business and academic references (no web pages) plus the videos, are required to support your analysis. Reference to legislation is essential.

PLEASE REFER TO ALL AUSTRALIAN LEGISLATIONS
