With the support of the ACT Office of Multicultural, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs (Community Service Directory – ACT Government) Original publication by Sara Khalidi 1997 Revised and Edited by Fiona McIlroy 2003 Revised and Edited by Hannah Neumayer 2012 Cultural Dictionary & Directory 2012 - Project of the Migrant and Refugee Settlement Services of the ACT Inc. 1 PREFACE TO THE CULTURAL DICTIONARY The wealth of cultural diversity in Australia is arguably one of its major assets. Acknowledgement of difference and acceptance of each person’s unique qualities, as well as their particular blend of cultural influences can assist people to grow in cultural richness and social strength. However more often than not, perceptions and attitudes are based on the limited understandings we currently hold, and we are all prone to prejudice. The key to cultural understanding lies in an open mind. Given the rise in expressions of racist attitudes in recent times, it is more important than ever to remember that general statements about cultural backgrounds can lead to stereotyping. Stereotyping often undervalues individuals and cultures, and can be based on mistaken assumptions. It must be noted that the brief and general descriptions of a culture or country, such as the snapshots in this Cultural Dictionary, should never be applied in a blanket way to any individual or group.

  • How Netanyahu's New Media Policy Is Influencing Israeli, American And
    International Relations and Diplomacy, August 2017, Vol. 5, No. 8, 501-510 D doi: 10.17265/2328-2134/2017.08.004 DAVID PUBLISHING How Netanyahu’s New Media Policy is Influencing Israeli, American and Global Politics Yaron Katz Holon Institute of Technology, Holon, Israel This paper analyzes how the Prime Minister of Israel, Binyamin Netanyahu, uses Israel’s technological superiority and innovative use of digital diplomacy to maintain a leading role in social media and an active and on-going impact on American politics. His global policy approach is based on the realization that we live in a world of technology, and since technology improves at a rapid rate, Israel should stand in the front of global change. His political and social media reign is unquestionable. He was elected the 10th most admired person in the United States, according to the “World’s Most Admired 2016” YouGov poll that gauged the popularity of famous people in 30 different countries. His personal Facebook page reached two million followers worldwide, more than half of them from the United States. As the research demonstrates, his popularity is the result of the ability to mobilize political skills with an effective media campaign. He derives his power directly from the public and engages that public in direct dialogue, bypassing the traditional media. This demonstrates a calculated and savvy use of new media platforms, as his accounts are able to motivate high rates of interaction and interest among followers and others who can view the posts. Keywords: social media, Israel, American politics, digital diplomacy Introduction In trying to examine how the Prime Minister of a small country has become one of the most popular leaders worldwide and is making an impact on Israeli, American and global politics, a few elements need to be taken under consideration.

    Joint Crisis: Israel-Palestine Conflict Chairs: Annie Lubin ‘19 and Thomas Teunissen ‘19 Rapporteurs: RJ Schechner ‘20 and Elizabeth Mulgrew De Laire ‘19 CAMUN 2018: Joint Crisis Page 1 of 13 Dear Delegates, Welcome to the Joint Crisis committees of CAMUN 2018! We are Thomas Teunissen and Annie Lubin and we will be your chairs in simulating the current day Israeli-Palestinian situation. We are both junior boarders here at CA and have been involved in Model UN since freshman year. We are really looking forward to meeting all of you, and seeing what you create over the course of our short yet meaningful committee sessions. The topic of Israel and Palestine is often discussed at Model UN conferences, but it's for good reason. The complex dual history, combined with the unending points of contention converge to create a seemingly impossible situation. However, we do believe that this is a crisis worth tackling, and who better to do so than all of you. We have prepared this topic guide to give you an overview of the history of the issue, and, due to the fact that this is a crisis, a summary of the current day situation and the political figures you will be representing in committee. Although we have given you this resource, do not let it be your only one. Succeeding in committee requires, first and foremost, an understanding of the topic and your character. Therefore, so that we can see the depth of your thinking as to make committee as enjoyable as possible, we require position papers from all delegates before we convene on March 31st.
