ESSSAY TOPIC

Looking back the at the history European settlement in Australia, many Aboriginal and Torres strait islander people were wary of white legislation and their social welfare, discuss 1 or 2 legislation as how it affected them, also how it can be seen in today’s very modern society (Chenoweth & McAuliffe 2015, p.268)!

Introductions:

The topic which I will be discussing for this assessment is specially about, Stolen Generation, their land rights and how its effected them mentally. If we look back at Australia’s history for Aboriginal people and Torres Islander people, their human rights record is worst in history (Graf, C 2013).

The white mentality approach behind this ruling was that 1 culture is greater than the other culture in every aspect (the social science journal). As the results of this legislation it leads to as many people as one hundred thousand were taken away from their indigenous families but especially young children from year 1910 to 1970s detained or given to white family (The stolen Generation 2008).

Those people were discarded in a lot of ways such as being taken away from their whole family, knowing that that were never gone see their relatives maybe ever, taking their culture away from them also forced to adopt in new ways of life style plus there was no one to help or understand them (Wilfrid, P, Kerrie, R & Carol, F, 2001). Additional to this (Journal of Traumatic Stress) says this lead many of them to suffer in lots of way, such as emotionally, spiritually and physically for the rest of their lives. As it can be seen in today’s society that all policies at those times were against and forced upon aboriginal people.

According to white settlement in 1834 Australia was a waste and free country no one had any rights to it. Many killed of aboriginal individuals as result of a conflict and forced to remove from their own homes and land as equal as being homeless (Wilfrid et al. 2001).
