Elise - here are a few questions I thought of after reading your topic description and essential question. I'll probably have more as I think about your topic.
How have geography and the various landforms (or lack thereof) influenced the development of the cultures of both Australia and the United States?
How much influence does England and the British monarchy have on the Australian way of life?
What type of survival adaptations have the animals and the Aboriginies made in order to live in the harsh environment of Australia?
Why do you think the Australians are more ecology-minded" than the Americans?
How has the emphasis of different aspects of the economy influenced the development cultural and personal values in both countries?
Just a start, I'll probably have more as we get into this.
Bryan - Here are a few questions I thought of as I read your topic description and essential question. I'll probably come up with more questions as I think about your topic. so, in the meantime - here goes:
How do the climate, geography, and natural resources factor into Swedish art?
Where is the market for Swedish art mainly found?
What events, historical, cultural, or religious have influenced the Swedish design forms?
What impact does the art community have on the Swedish economy?
How do the Swedes balance environmentalism and the use of natural resources with the demand for materials used in their artwork?
Bryan,
What is the market for Swedish design? Who does it appeal to?
Has Swedish design become market driven? How is uniqueness and creativity still encouraged?

Okay - since sickmutt has asked ALL the Australian questions in the world, I'm going to ask about the one comment that I always heard about Australian - Why are there more women than men in Australia? Is it really true? What are the statistics? Is this a paradise destination for men? Or is it the other way around - there are more men than women? Hmmmmm...
Bryan
What's the story behind Ikea stores here in the USA? Do the furniture they sell reflect traditional Scandinavian design or are they knock offs - you know the WalMart or Target of Sweden? Is Ikea Swedish owned and operated?
