Cultural diversity and social needs
Australia is a land of cultural diversity in that it hosts a myriad of ethnicities and people of various cultures and countries. Statistics show that out of the 24,899,744 people living in Australia in 2018, 10.7% are non-citizen residents (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2018). This shows that Australia is a welcoming country that accepts people of foreign descent. While residents from various countries reside her
e, there is prevalent debate about whether the social needs of the resident population are being met.
Social needs
All humans have social needs much like their essential needs. Social needs of an individual can be said to be his need for belonging and a feeling of familiarity and recognition by the people around him. The social needs of an individual are prevalent at different levels throughout his/her life (McLeod, 2007).
Human beings are essentially social in nature. Social interaction and recognition are important to them and hence lack of social well-being can be detrimental as well. Interaction and wellness on a societal level tends to satisfy and fulfil the social needs of a human as well as leads him to further his aspirations in life.
When the social needs of an individual are fulfilled, he/she is better able to solve his/her problems and develop in his/her life and career. This happens because of the societal and cultural support they find in their surroundings. When social needs are satisfied, psychological problems such as stress, anxiety and depression are also removed (McLeod, 2007).
So, social needs can be considered to be the third most vital need after food and security to human beings. Society plays an important role in the fulfilment of social needs of an individual. When an individual lives in his land amongst his people and close to his family, social needs are automatically fulfilled. However, when he/she resides abroad or in a place where he is culturally a minority, social needs are starved to some extent.
Australia and the resident community
As mentioned earlier, Australia has a diverse resident community. People from different backgrounds, ethnicities, religions and cultures settle in Australia. Many reasons account for this settlement. Among the various reasons are education, employment, improved standard of living, immigration and refuge-seeking from war-torn countries.
Since people of so many different cultures live in Australia, it is highly likely that they face some form of social difficulty. While the government provides for several social services to assist the new comers as well as residents, these services are often either not used or simply ignored. Several reasons can be assessed for this including lack of trust, sceptic attitude and lack of awareness.
Indian Muslim community
There are a lot of Indians in Australia who have mainly migrated for educational and job purposes. Most of these are followers of the Hindu religion though. There are plenty of Muslims in Australia too. However, the dominant Muslim community in Australia is Arab or Pakistani. So the percentage of Indians who are Muslims in Australia would be very low since Muslims themselves are a minority in India. In such a case it would be hard to find a settlement of Indian Muslims in the form of a community in Australia. So upon analysis, Indian Muslims in Australia would be one of the greater minorities overall (Kabir, 2004).
It is natural thus, for Indian Muslims to feel a larger sense of isolation and face greater challenges overall during their stay in Australia.
Interviewing an Indian Muslim
In order to further understand the challenges and social needs of Indian Muslims, I conducted an interview with my neighbour, Arifa Syed for this assignment. Arifa Syed is an Indian Muslim who settled in Australia about 10 years ago. She has stayed here since with her family of five including 2 brothers, mother and father. Arifa is different, in that culturally she hails from an Indian family. She is also religiously different in that she is a Muslim. Both these aspects are enough to create a kind of barrier between her and the Australian society.
From the interview I could conclude that even though Arifa has made herself at home here, she still feels a little marginalized. She did not recount any single incident of discrimination but she mentions that in general people become a little hesitant and uncomfortable since she wears hijab. She mentions missing her homeland since she had many close friends there and she can’t get...
