The impacts of globalisation and development policies on these societies will be considered, with special attention to indigenous minorities and rural communities. The impacts of social and environmental change as a result of the green revolution, population pressure, urbanisation, industrialisation, overfishing, deforestation and tourism will also be addressed.Please Note: All students studying at Murdoch University will need to complete the compulsory unit, Murdoch Academic Passport (MAP100), which only takes 2-3 hours to complete online.

Society, Culture and Ecology in Asia

Working with people often demands sophisticated skills and artfulness and this unit takes seriously the task of coming into a place, listening, learning, and working collaboratively. ART101 is designed to prepare you to “make a difference in the world” in ways that are responsible, creative, and thoughtful. It is designed to support you to continue preparing for life outside of university: in the labour market, in civic life, in families, and as volunteers in initiatives that seek to create sustainable futures for generations that follow.ART101 will support you to prepare for a modern labour market, particularly in industry areas associated with justice, creative work, fairness, cross-cultural dialogue, ecological sustainability, and responsible government, as well as being active citizens, and supporting healthy family relationships and social groups. The learning experiences of this unit also provide further insight into important practices for university and professional life, including writing, thinking, reading, viewing, research, and collaborative work.The unit introduces you to knowledge, ideas and practices that foster clear thinking, relational maturity, ethical strength, and cross-cultural competence. The unit draws on a variety of knowledge traditions, beginning with Noongar katitj (Noongar knowledge systems), particularly in relation to the Murdoch University campus. You will learn by “doing and experiencing” on campus and further afield, and if you are an external student, we bring these experiences to you in virtual ways, as well as giving you tasks and ideas for experiential learning where you are.Please Note: All students studying at Murdoch University will need to complete the compulsory unit, Murdoch Academic Passport (MAP100), which only takes 2-3 hours to complete online.
