CULTURAL AWARENESS AND CULTURAL SAFETYTask1.1.Cultural awareness is the process of recognizing and accepting other peoples’ culturalidentities. Cultural awareness makes people respect the cultural diversity and people withdifferent cultural tradition, beliefs and values (Pokhilko, 2016). This enables someone toexperience other culture from the perspective of other. In the globalized era, culturalawareness helps to connect with each other and develop a free and open environment byovercoming cultural challenges. 2.Cultural safety ensures the safety of the people of certain environment where they do notexperience any challenges, conflicts or assault because of their cultural identity. Culturalsafety becomes real when the meaning, knowledge, experience and learning is sharedwith dignity among individuals within the community (Humanrights.gov.au, 2017).Cultural safety acts beyond the cultural awareness channelizing the negative changestowards positivity. 3.The aboriginals inhabited Australia for thousands of years before the colonists inhabitedthe land. During his voyage James Cooks declared the land as Terra Nullius or “no one’sland” in the eighteenth century (Hudec, 2013). The history war related to real causes isstill going on; however few reasons can be considered. Firstly some believe that theexistence of the aboriginals were unknown to them at that time. Secondly some believethe claim was deliberate. The land of uncivilized people of primitive society was includedin the term they used to claim the land which was “desert and uncultivated”. 4.The aboriginal identity was lost because of many initiatives taken up by the settlers ofthat period.

The cultural misunderstandings resulted in violentconflicts between the settlers and the aboriginals. The colonists’ firepower made theaboriginals lose most of the fights. 5.The families of Australian aboriginals are extended and not nuclear like modern dayfamilies. Family and kinship are the key drivers that bind the aboriginals together(Malinowski, 2015). There are several clans consisting father, mother, uncle, brother,sister, aunt and other cousins. The clan’s wellbeing is supported by the psychological andemotional support of the members. The kinship holds the responsibilities that the clanmember follows. 6.Because millions of the aboriginal people were killed and lost their identities thesurviving members often feel lonely and low self esteem. They lost their identity andbecame the labors or servants, so they got poor education which affected their futuregeneration (Bell, 2014). They also face legal problems, related to official documentationsto prove their identity. They struggle to trust anyone easily and their search for ownidentity is still going on. 7.1ProtocolRespecting the engagement’s cultural form is important.Generalisation of communities and place is a serious breach oftradition for the aboriginals, so the workers have to be carefulwhile dealing with those. The aboriginal women also have theirown protocols related to the well being of their families andchildren. 2Personal KnowledgeThe sense of trust and equity must be developed through sharinginformation and understanding their culture (Wilson et al.,2016). The world view that the aboriginals hold is based on therelationship among tribes, family and community. The personalknowledge of place and space is layered. 3PartnershipPartnership can be informal or formal. Through partnership they
