Chapter 33

Section 1

1. The Aborigines and Maori were the major indigenous groups of people in Australia and New Zealand.

2. In the more rural areas of Australia and New Zealand, people may have to communicate through radio or mail for teaching instructions and other things of that nature. Indigenous tribes suffer from mistreatment of the modern age and also from more mundane things, such as malnutrition and poverty.

Creative Writing: Europeans discovered Australia when exploring the South Pacific region, and in later years it became an island of convicts from overcrowded British prison. In the mid 1800s, the British started to forcibly remove the indigenous people from New Zealand and Australia, causing the native people to fight back, but lose in the long run.

Section 2

1. The everyday life of the people of Oceania reflects cultural diversity from the clothes that the people of those nations were to the sports that they play because it is all a mix of several different nations' way of going through life.

2. Through several conflicts with disease, cultural differences, territory battles, and the World Wars, the Europeans lead several adverse effects upon Oceania.

Creative Writing: As I floated along Papua New Guinea, I began to realize the vast cultural differences between them and Americans. With their innumerable amounts of ill educated citizens, their economy has plummeted, along with their standards of living. Even from the coast, I can see the effects of the poor economy, and yet I envy them. Without money being a constant threat in their lives, as they know that they are destitute, they are allowed to focus on other things, such as family and tradition.
