Identity.
Who we are, what we do. Our ideas, choices and values. Have you ever taken a step back and looked at yourself and thought “oh no I really am a true reflection of my parents!” Me either, but it wasn’t until I began to take a deeper look at language and culture that I discovered that I really am a mirror of my parents and my Italian culture.
There have been so many instances where you are faced…

Identity & Racism.
We live in a richly diverse world, where no single community is of one particular race, religion or culture. In 2018 the International Air Transport Association released its 62nd annual report on travel statistics for 2017. The report showed a record-breaking 4.1billion passengers flew on scheduled airline services during this year. This was shown to be more than 280million more than the…

Intervening through Hairdressing
For this assessment, I have chosen a topic that is socially relevant and reflective of what we have learnt during the semester. It is focused on developing a case study for corporate social responsibility and how this can be a powerful tool in combatting a global issue that my audience is likely aware of, but very removed from.

A Ping-Pong Affair
By understanding the presence and role of sport in different cultures, we learn why nations hold sport close to their hearts and why they are seen as a part of their national identity.
To understand culture, and our own cultural experiences, we often turn to Asia. The Earth’s largest and most populous continent, enriched with diversity and culture. Digital Asia open’s the doors to a variety of…

Paddle Back in Time
Table tennis made its first impression as a “parlour game” in that it was open to anyone who was able to access a table, paddle and ball. The name “Ping-Pong” was first coined by the English firm J. Jaques and Son at the end of the 1800s, and later trademarked in the US by gaming company the Parker Brothers.

The Experience.
While some may consider table tennis a “lesser sport”, it is not for the faint-hearted. It is a sport of focus, skill, endurance and consistency.
On September 1st2018, the world saw another year of the Asian Games but in particular the Men’s Table Tennis Finals. Perfect timing for this digital artefact, right? The final’s was a showcase of China’s best male table tennis talent, Fan Zhendong vs. J…

Diplomacy
“Sport and politics often collide, and leaders have increased their efforts to harness the role of sport in furthering their national interests. But sporting competitions have been taking place between nation states in conflict for millennia.”

Commonly throughout history we have seen sport used as a diplomatic tool to bring countries together. Probably the most prolific example of this is…

Game Over.
Ping-Pong has reached far beyond my expectations.
It is a sport characterised by Asian culture, and is a reflection of a disciplined society. While now in the 21stcentury it may no longer stand as China’s leading sport, it is still one that is deeply linked to its history.

After my viewing of the 2018 Asia Games Men’s finals, I believe that my eyes have truly been opened when…

Uncovering China’s agenda for Ping-Pong
Table Tennis is not for the faint-hearted, it is a sport of endurance, stamina and utter focus.
Sports presents itself in all forms and sizes, as an individual of the Western World I was not always aware of the extent of ping-pong. In Australia, I associate ping-pong with the legendary game of Beer Pong and a casual muck around with…

A sport for every nation.
A sport for every nation.
The world of sport is much larger than what society understand. Sport provides not only a source of health and fitness, rather sport has created unity in communities, it has broadened inter-cultural communication and brought into effect the realities of globalisation. Sport can be named as a ‘peacetime’ event, occasions such as the Olympic Gameshave bought peace amongst countries in the modern…

Is It Really Equality?
Is It Really Equality?
On the surface, Nike’s Equalitycampaign presents all the elements to successfully adhere to a social justice intervention. Its motto, activists and ambitions urge consumers to break the barrier and welcome equality of race, gender, religion, so on. Although, there has been speculation surrounding Nike’s choice of advertising and a question of what goes on behind the scenes at Headquarters.…

Akira
Usually I wouldn’t openly express my profound interest in all things cyber, dystopian and futuristic. But it seems BCM320 is making me do just that.
Our screening of Akira, made my geeky senses tingle and I became invested.
Akira is a Japanese anime movie set in 1988. It is a film that explores the Japanese government dropping an atomic bomb on Tokyo after ESP experiments on children go ‘awry‘.…

Live tweeting is a difficult skill set, one that is only mastered over the course of the semester. However, lucky for me BCM325 prepared me for the big league.
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend our first seminar back. Jet lag with a side of exhaustion from the first days back at work can really wear down a girls immune system. But the show goes on, and lucky for me the internet makes life a…

Wearable Technology
Cybernetics has reformed the relationship between man and machine. It has allowed us outperform human ability and has given the push to become more efficient and sustainable.
