CCHY N Level Prelim Exam (2019) Social Studies (Sec 4NA) p 3 of 6 How successful is New Zealand in achieving harmony in its diverse society? BACKGROUND INFORMATION Read this carefully. It may help you to answer some of the questions. New Zealand is one of the most diverse countries in the world with a strong emphasis on multiculturalism and social integration. The majority of New Zealand’s population is made up of Pakeha people who are of European descent, followed by those from the indigenous Maori, the Asians and those from the Pacific Islands. With people from such diverse backgrounds living in the country, New Zealand is well-known for its strong social integration. However, there were also instances of discrimination in the country, not only between citizens but also with the immigrants. On 15 March 2019, two mosques in the city of Christchurch in New Zealand were attacked, and 51 people were killed. The gunman, who broadcasted the live footage of the attack on Facebook, is an Australian who expressed admiration for other violent white extremists and his intention was to incite violence against Muslims. The country’s Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern condemned the gunman's acts, calling it a terror attack and called for efforts to combat the issue of racism and religious intolerance in New Zealand. She has also called for changes in the immigration policies to ensure that immigrants are able to better adapt in New Zealand. Study the following sources below to find out if New Zealand is successful in achieving harmony in its diverse society. Source A: A picture published by a cartoonist, on New Zealanders’ reaction to the attacks on the mosques in 2019. This was published on Twitter, a social media platform on 16 March 2019. * Aroha = love, affection, sympathy * Whanau = family, community who live together in the same area/ country

CCHY N Level Prelim Exam (2019) Social Studies (Sec 4NA) p 4 of 6 Source B : An excerpt from an interview with a New Zealander woman, Courtney Linwood, on her reaction to the mosque attacks in March 2019. This was published on Newsweek, a news website on 21 March 2019. The incident that happened in our country last week truly broke my heart. I have chosen to wear a headscarf today in support for the Muslim community. This week a young woman was abused on a train for being Muslim and wearing a headscarf. This happened aft er 50 people had been killed in Christchurch. I’m wearing a headscarf today for her, and for the families and friends of those killed in Christchurch a week ago. Our Muslim community deserves to see that we love and support them. No one should feel fear or shame for what they wear or who they are. I don't want them to feel scared. This is their home and they are like us, just normal people trying to live their lives. The attacker, his supporters and their extreme ideologies do not belong here. Source C: An extract from an article by a Senior Lecturer of University of Otago, John Shaver, on religious intolerance in New Zealand. This was published on The South China Morning Post, a news website on 18 March 2019. Intolerance towards Muslims in New Zealand is all the more distressing because it is wholly unjustified. Muslims have lived peacefully in New Zealand for over 100 years, equating to about one per cent of the population. This means that for many New Zealand ers, they only find out about Muslims from other sources and not the Muslims themselves. Such s econd-hand information is notoriously inaccurate. The largest source of second -hand information about Muslims in New Zealand is the news media. However, even this trusted source of information is biased. It treats Islam as rigid and focused largely on the use of violence. Source D: An excerpt from a commentary published on an online media website on 18 June 2019. The author is a researcher sharing his experiences as a Maori minority in New Zealand. On my first day here, a neighbour rang to report that a large Maori guy just came out of the campus housing. Without checking the rental list, the security guards barged into our house and bombarded us with questions. On the second day, someone at the Recreation Centre refused to believe I was a staff with the University. Months later, a long -serving Maori colleague experienced the same thing. There was also an instance where I received a n anonymous hate note in the internal work mail and after investigations, the handwriting later matched to a retired Pakeha colleague. Even after ten years here, I sometimes feel wary and cautious of the new people I meet at work or in my personal life.

This was published on 19 June 2019 on a media website. We’re building an inclusive society that welcomes and supports families and people seeking refuge when they cannot return to their own country. We welcome refugees as new citizens who contribute so much to our culture, economy and society. I appreciate all commun
