HOW IS AUSTRALIA GLOBALLY CONNECTED:

Australia is globally connected because Australia is a multi-cultural country. People from all around the world come to Australia to live a better stronger or they might come to get away from wars ,disasters or the cruel treatment that they might have in other counties.

Another reason why I think Australia is globally connected is because of all of the inventions that have been made all around the world including Australia. All the inventions that are made go all around the world as do all types of food and other stock.

Australia is globally connected because of natural disasters that happen everywhere everyday. Australia and many countries help other countries during natural disasters by sending people to help, food, clean water and medical supplies to make life easier

Australia is globally connected because of other countries in extreme poverty. Australia helps other countries in extreme poverty by raising up money in different ways and fundraisers like mission month, salvos and others.

**__ How our everyday lives are globally connected? __**
 * Article 1: **
 * Most countries depend on other countries in one way or another.
 * Countries are connected through communications, sport and many events.
 * Australia is a multicultural country.
 * There are around 200 different nations on Earth.
 * We are all citizens of the world.

Most countries depend on other countries in one way or another. Whether it is for food, financial support or trade, we are becoming more globally connected. It is difficult for a country to exist in isolation. When something happens in one part of the world, it can often affect what happens in other parts of the world.

Australia affects and, in turn, is affected by people and events in other countries. Through migration, trade, foreign aid and even sporting events, Australia is connected to the rest of the world.

Australia is a multicultural country; the population is made up of people from all over the planet. This in itself makes Australia globally connected.

Australia is globally connected in our everyday lives because all countries depend on each other in some way. Because Australia is a multicultural country we have learned many different cultures and we get imported and we export foods and resources to other countries. If a natural disaster occurs the whole world takes notice and it affects us so we help. Sports from Australia and other countries are seen over TV or heard on the radios, so everybody knows what is going on in Australia. All these reasons make us connected with the world.

Introduction of Article
Sport is an important part of life for many Australians. Australia has sporting links with overseas countries on many different levels, from local clubs on exchange visits to other countries, and representative teams touring internationally, to competitors representing Australia in international events such as the Olympic Games or Commonwealth Games.

Every country has their sporting representatives and many of these athletes compete at home in their own country as well as overseas. Each sportsperson is a global link between their country and the countries they are competing in. Let's take a look at some of the sporting areas that connect us to the rest of the world.

Sport connects Australia to the world by interacting with other people from other countries.

People from other countries see national sport over television and they see Australia competing. When other countries see Australia on Tv they see us proud and us competing very well.

People that compete in sport interact with people from other countries so that connects us.

Tourism: Tourism connects us to the world because countries visits other countries A lot of tourists come to Australia because they have seen how wonderful Australia is through the media, internet and others. Through media and the internet people see that Australia is a wonderful place and they decide to visit particular places. This also shows that we are socially connected through communication. Tourist that come to Australia see everything and when they go back to their country they talk and tell other people about Australia. People only come to Australia if they see or if they hear good things about Australia and Australians only go to other countries if they hear good things about other countries. Response: Australia is globally connected through tourism because people from all around the world travel to other countries and tell others about that country.
