Sociology as a Science of Culture
In the first part of this paper the pioneering achievements of Thomas Kuhn in natural sciences and of Florian Znaniecki in social sciences are examined and compared. Attention is focused on the fundamental impact that the ideological positions adopted by each has exerted upon our understanding of the way their respective disciplines develop and affect the study of natural and cultural phenomena as distinct aspects of reality. The paper traces ele…

Border Crossing in 'Multicultural Australia
While political borders in the modern world are often attenuated, cultural borders between groups are reinforced through the resurgence of ethnic identity and the renaissance of cultural values which underpin it. Such developments need not be regarded as divisive, but as an opportunity for border crossing by individuals who augment their cultural valence through acquiring competence in and positive attitudes towards other cultures. Australia's mu…

Australia
Most countries exhibit some specific ecology of diversity (Muhlhausler, 1992), but Australia, as the only continent with a multi-ethnic population to be governed as a single political entity, merits particular attention. It may even be regarded as a laboratory for multiculturalism, because of the way it has managed its internal pluralism, especially in relation to the setdement of ethnically diverse immigrant groups. From a global perspective it …

Modernity and tradition
The first objective of this paper is to demonstrate the false dichotomy which is frequently drawn between the concepts of ‘modernity’ and ‘tradition’. Modernity is in fact a value‐laden term which has an implication of positive evaluation of virtually any innovation, as opposed to tradition which, within this context, acquires a negative connotation of backwardness and unthinking conservatism. Were these notions to be accepted, progress would be …

Cognitive Maps of Class and Ethnic Inequalities A Comparative Analysis
In a previous study, Bell and Robinson (1980) developed an Index of Perceived Inequality to investigate the cognitive maps of class and racial inequalities held by adults in England and the United States. This present study used the Index to examine the perceptions of inequalities of unemployed young adults. The sample included 355 20-year-old unemployed Australians from three groups that were labeled as Anglo Australian, English Australian, and …
Greek‐Australians
People of Greek ancestry have been part of Australia for over three generations, but their children are still often referred to as migrants rather than Greek‐Australians. The paper argues that Australians of different ethnic backgrounds and identities are not a threat to cohesion, as long as Australia develops overarching values that are shared by all Australians, such as parliamentary democracy, a modified free enterprise economy, the English la…

Social Systems in Multicultural Societies
In constructing a model of interaction among ethnic groups in multicultural societies we adopt a humanistic sociological perspective. This is the name given to that orientation in sociology which in Poland and the United States has been associated with the names of Florian Znaniecki, William I. Thomas and Robert M. MacIver. This school has emphasised the need ‘to accept human values and activities as facts, just as human agents themselves accept …

It is concerned to establish their patterns of linguistic usage, and the extent of their mastery of the standard form of Italian and the various Italian dialects. Evidence is also reviewed in relation to the claims that have been made for the emergence of a new linguistic form labelled as ‘Australitalian’. Data is presented from five different studies co…
