Reflection on my own attitude and impact on Aboriginal ad Torres Strait
Islander on my nursing practices
Introduction
This reflective essay depicts my learning assessment of contemporary Indigenous
persons among Australians. The task, reports the experiences i learnt from my
practicum and appreciating the role of diverse people and engaging in understanding
and appreciating divergent cultures. This reflective task, offers insights into
experiences I learnt and gained through the practice session. This reflection is
facilitated using Gibbs reflective cycle.
Description
The Indigenous persons in Australia bring into focus the role of cultural difference
and peaceful coexistence among different groups. A critical aspect to think of when
Indigenous persons come into mind is that the Torres and Islanders have been. These
two groups are very diverse in terms of socio-economic terms. The roles I played
during the class activity exercises were crucial to me in that, I learned the need to
respect views and feeling s of different persons in my environment, (Gibbs, 1988).
Tasks engaged in class
Engaging on Thursday Island game with my colleagues enable me to appreciate how
diverse knowledge and skills can be harnessed together to effect unison voice and
power. The game illustrated how teamwork activity is essential for learning and
promoting cohesion. Playing was essential in facilitating the different groups of users
into one focus and play well.
During the babakiueria exercise, we engaged in learning how the invasions felt on the
native land. The role reversal display in the activity showed how the Aboriginal
Australians invaded and colonizes the land of bakekuria. The game depicts the
Aboriginal Australian invasion of the new land and chasing away the inhabitants and
occupying the land. The inhabitants had started stereotyping the European Australian
activities and this depicted negative picture and deep heart feelings open the gaming
process.

Reflective Learning 3
Cahoots quiz offered me an opportunity to engage in the learning process with my
colleagues. This learning tool is a game-based learning platform which allows the
leaner’s to learn and play. The Kahoots was played in a group setting, where we were
tasked with answering questions posted on the individual devices while the questions
are displayed at the shared screed. This game engaged us in answering questions
bringing us together, creating a campfire moment, and thus offering to play more.
Feelings
Reflecting on the tasks and activities of this assessment, my understanding of the
Indigenous persons was vague and often looked down upon them. My perceptions in
mind across the other Indigenous persons were evident in my mind. I always believed
that the Islanders were poor and miserable’s persons who were not able to fight for
themselves.
Evaluations
My assessment for the Indigenous persons often portrayed lack of respect and
disguise for them. I always believed deeply on myths and stories surrounding this
special group. An aspect of disrespect for this special category was eminent in mind.
My judgments were based on hearsay and just believing myths regarding their socio-
economic lives were. The Indigenous people are often marginalized and the key
resources don’t reach get adequate attention as to the general persons.
Undertaking the three tasks above, it has given me an opportunity to be better
equipped me in understanding and learning better from my colleagues. Respect for
diversity and learning more from the diverse culture and different personalities play a
crucial role to me during my practice. Respecting my workmates of diverse
background is essential in enhancing collaboration and better outcomes, (Wilding,
2008).
Analysis
My overall analysis of Indigenous peoples and the learning tasks undertake, infirm a
critical basis for me in undertaking a positive perception approach with regard to this
category of people, (Peterson & Chapman, 2013). This group of persons is always
