TASK

back to top

You are to write an 800 word reflection in two parts. This reflection will establish your baseline knowledge as you progress through the subject.


Part A (500 words):






You can complete this after doing the learning activities from Topic 1 & 2






Using your required reading from Module 1, Topic 1 'Reflecting on a Way of Being: Anchor Principles of Cultural Competence' (Russell, 2020), reflect on your own positioning using the following prompts:



  • What do you know / not know about Indigenous Australian peoples and communities?

  • Where and/or from whom did that knowledge come?

  • What do you know / not know about Australian culture and history?

  • Can you identify any limitations to what you know?

  • Drawing on your reflection on the previous questions, consider which ‘anchor principles’ (Social Justice, Knowing Self, Re-storying, Action) you most identify with. How do these principles relate to your understanding of your own positioning?


Part B (300 words):


You can complete this during Topic 3


Locate a media article which relates to Indigenous peoples, knowledges or cultures and which aligns with your current interests or understandings– provide a linkto the article as your heading (some articles will be provided in the subject site as examples).No other sources are required for Part B.


The media is an example of a powerful institution which shapes our knowledge. Incorporate these prompt questions into a synthesised reflection:



  • Thinking about your knowledge of Australian history, does the author provide all the information required to understand the issue being discussed? What information is missing?

  • Is there a presumption that readers already hold views about Indigenous peoples? What are the taken-for-granted assumptions?

  • What would a reader infer about the relationship between Indigenous peoples and non-Indigenous peoples based on the text of the article? How are Indigenous and non-Indigenous people positioned in the article? (e.g., is there a social or cultural norm evident? Are Indigenous peoples constructed as different to or divergent from the norm?)

  • Is there an Indigenous viewpoint included in the article? If yes, how does the author use Indigenous perspectives to support or contradict the main message? If no, how could this influence a readers' perception of Indigenous people and of the main message in the article?

1     As per my knowledge aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are i
ndigenous peoples of Australia who have lived there for thousands of years. They are not a group, but rather a collection of thousands of communities, each with its own dialect, background, and cultural practices, which come together to form a single entity (Wright et al., 2019). The health and well-being of Aboriginal people who live in big cities differs from that of Aboriginal people who live in the Torres Strait region.
"People who live in the Torres Strait are distinct from those who live in those areas or in rural parts of Alice Springs." Indigenous peoples and indigenous peoples are so named because they were the first people to reside on their territory before immigrants arrived from other lands. They are, by definition, a diverse group of individuals representing a cultural diversity and races. Those who descended from people who were already living in a nation or environmental condition before immigrants came, but who were subsequently controlled by migrants via conquering, colonization, resettlement, or other ways.
2     From what I understand, Australians are open-minded and well-known for being open-minded. Australians think that anyone has the right to a fair opportunity at life. In the case of provision of health services, this is expressed in publically sponsored ubiquitous assistance. As stated by Jaakkola, Juntunen & Näkkäläjärvi (2018), Australia is not as physically hierarchical as Britain, and it is very cosmopolitan, since it is home to the majority of the world's faiths. It is unfair to measure Australian culture to any other culture since it is a one-of-a-kind combination of many different elements.
In its most basic form, Australian culture is a Western civilization that was initially drawn from Britain, but it has also been impacted by...
