Discover Your Neighbors!Asia-Pacific Culture Expo 2010 Congratulations! You have successfully designed a fantastic and colourful exhibition of the Asia-Pacific Culture. It was a wonderful celebration as you all worked very hard to complete this successful exhibition. 'Discover your Neighbours!' has allowed you to engage and embrace the diverse cultures from the five spectacular countries; New Zealand, Japan, Micronesia, China and Chile.
Going back to the key questions on the page of Introduction - 'What creates a culture? What makes a culture different from others?', 'Discover Your Neighbours!' has given you the broad knowledge and understanding by now. As you have found out, a culture comprises many ingredients of governance, history, people, religions, customs, lifestyle and so forth. Each of the elements is a product of people's fundamental beliefs and values in a community, a society and a country. Therefore, a culture cannot be the same as others but distinct and diverse.
Despite significant differences in cultures you have also seen similarities and links between other countries and Australia. It is hoped that you are more aware of diverse values and beliefs which result in cultural diversity within Australia, in the Asia-pacific region and in the world. We hope that you now respect and appreciate the complexity of the cultures and that you look at and understand people, objects and events around you in different perspectives.
