Oh America!
Our Australian culture is considered by the following statement:
an “emphasis on physical as opposed to
mental achievement, the concept of mateship, Australian idiom, language
and humor.” We have developed a youth culture where we talk like bogans, drink
ourselves stupid, party and enjoy the company of our mates. But when you study
carefully into the concept of the Australia culture, you realize the close or
EXACT depiction that our culture is derived from the country that influences
not only their own behavior but the rest of the world in relation to media…
Y’all know it as America. From what I see, or from my personal lifestyle, we draw
our behaviors and interactions from many shows that are firstly streamed in the
US and gradually make their way around the world. I am speaking particularly of
one show that I know a lot of youth watch, that myself, watch and greatly
relate to, it is one of MTV’s favs... Jersey Shore. Jersey Shore is best
described as ‘regionalism at its best.’ Guido’s and Guidette’s
working out, partying, using fowl language, fighting and brawling and using and
abusing people. Relating back to my opening statement,
our culture, nowadays, I believe has been influenced greatly by MTV shows like
Jersey Shore and other shows that incorporate American culture into it. I
notice our youth enjoy to party hard, drink til they are stupid and hook up
with ‘grenades’ and so on. America and its great ideas of reality lifestyle
shows greatly influence the culture of youth in Australia. Thank you America,
“you suck dick for skittles.”
