What are the characteristics of Australian national culture in the process of historical development?

Judging from the overall evolution of Australian national culture, there are at least the following characteristics:

First, develop along the road of nationalization. From the beginning, especially since the founding of New China, Australian culture has been developing along the road of nationalization. The so-called "nationalization" is Australian, which is in line with Australia's political and economic nationalization. In fact, without nationalization or Australization, it is difficult for Australia to talk about national independence and national prosperity.

Second, ask about diversified development. Australian culture is centered on British culture and indigenous culture, but in the decades after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it absorbed many other foreign cultures, such as those brought by immigrants from Eurasia, thus forming a new culture that pays attention to cultural integration, that is, integrated multiculturalism.

However, due to Australia's long-term implementation of the "White Australia Policy", this trend of diversification has been greatly hindered. Nevertheless, the diversification trend of Australian culture has been stubbornly manifested, especially after the abolition of the "White Australia Policy" in the 1970s. In the colonial era, Australian culture was essentially colonial culture. Because the only way to get rid of the influence and bondage of British culture is to absorb the essence of other national cultures to improve the quality of our own national culture, thus producing multiculturalism.

Third, it is highly imitative. Australian culture is completely different from other ancient cultures. For example, China culture, Indian culture, European culture and Islamic culture are relatively stable cultures formed through thousands of years of evolution, integration and tempering. They also absorb foreign cultures to enrich themselves and develop themselves, but rarely imitate them. However, Australian culture has not undergone such a long period of tempering, evolution and integration, and is in the youth growth period, which is basically a relatively unstable culture. This culture must also absorb a large number of foreign cultures to enrich and develop itself and gradually mature itself. From the perspective of cultural development, imitation has two sides: on the one hand, it is easy to mechanically copy without analysis; On the other hand, it will also make you boldly absorb the culture of other nationalities. This has two sides, and so does Australia's national culture.

Fourth, generally speaking, Australian culture obviously belongs to western culture. No matter from its subject matter and source, or from its tradition, style, temperament, form and technique, it belongs to European culture, which is a type with Canadian and American culture, but it is qualitatively different from eastern culture, but it is not European and American culture, but Australian culture.
