As the financial turmoil sweeps the world, Australia finally realized that Asia is the best ally for its future.
Melbourne's newspaper the Age had done a survey, asking which career were the most worthy of trust and which careers were the most untrustworthy. The result was that the most trusted professionals were doctors, nurses, colleges and universities and primary and secondary school teachers, while the least trusted was media (newspapers, radio and television journalist), real estate developers, and car dealers. The reason was very simple, the media is similar with merchandising, and they thrive only on the basis of money.
Since Australian education commercialized, international relations were an integral part of Australian educational institutions. It is of no exaggeration to say that, if there were no education internationalization with tens of thousands of overseas students to pay the high tuition fees, Australian universities would have shut down at least one-third. Although overseas students has been supporting the preserver of Australian higher education institutions since the middle 20th century, and even led to important dynamic development of Australian cities’ real estate and retail industry. However, these overseas students, especially students from Asia are always looked upon with prejudice. The media is always full of negative reports about international students, and international students in Australia suffered from unfair treatment from the mass media (Thomas, 2000).

    Throughout history Australia is dependent on it’s Great and Powerful friends such as America for security since the 1900’s up to present day. China is another Great and Powerful friend which Australia is dependent for economic prosperity. I agree to some extent that Australia should depend on its Great and Powerful friends such as America for security. It is because history shows that Australia will always ensure its security by depending on America to come to its aid.

    The conclusion of WWII didn’t mark the termination of wars and conflicts in a global perspective; as a result, Australia’s involvement in wars had perpetuated through various foreign conflicts and confrontation. From 1945 to mid 1970s, Australia’s perception of aid and support towards copious world powers, namely US and UK had resulted in our involvement in pivotal Asian conflicts from the northern sector to the Pacific war. However, was the driving force behind Australia’s military participation within the Asian region an initiative to please her constituent? Or was there an agenda for Australia’s government to please the major powers? In order to analyse this proposition, it is substantial to examine the role of Australia in major Asian conflicts…

    Since its discovery in 1770 and its colinisation in 1788, Australia has always had strong international ties with countries of great influence and power, especially with great britain as it was colonised by the british. It was towards the end of the second world war that we saw a shift in alliance; from Great Britain to The United States of America. In 1942 Japan was making its way down through Asia taking over small countries throughout it. Four days after the fall of Singapore, and the fall of the british fortress an attack was launched and Darwin was bombed by over 180 Japanese aircraft. Australia turned to its last resort, the US, for support. Austalia made a valuable ally to the US for its geographical position in south Asia, the perfect place to launch its attack on the japanese. The “line in the sand” was drawn in Papua New Guinea, in the legendary kokoda trail. After this battle, US-Australia ties have always been strong.…
