Introduction
My take on culture, health and sexuality is pretty simple. It is set and determined
by the indigenous community. The song I have written is based on the aborigines of
Australia and their take on history, sex and sexuality.Indeed, there has been significant
events in which the Australian indigenous people have had a confrontation with reality.
For example, there has been an upcoming debate in which duo citizenship will mean for
Australian and indigenous identity.

The burden of history
The aboriginal culture has been associated with a lot of practices that has been
centered on a dreamtime belief. Traditions have been emphasized in practice. The
culture of Australian aborigines is exhibited by language groupings and divisions of
tribe. In my song, the art has existed for many years and ranges from watercolor
landscapes and ancient rock art. Country music is the contemporary aborigine music
that has been developed (Bristow, 2014). Some of the practices that have been initiated
by the aborigines include the Bora which is an initiation in which the young men pass
through a birth right to become men. Others include a corroboree which is a ceremonial
meeting which involves the aboriginal people. The aborigines also had a smoking
ceremony in which a cleansing ritual was performed for special occasions. Other
practices by the aborigine culture includes fire stick farming which was a practice of
burning patches of vegetarian to facilitate hunting. The walkabouts refers to a belief that

is commonly held in adolescent ages of an aborigine. However due to due citizenship
the culture will be eroded in the future (Ghosh, C., 2018). Duo citizenship means that an
Australian citizen by birth may get another citizenship from any other country that he
wishes to reside.
In today's world, the presence of new information and communication technologies is
already common, which promise to "develop and modernize" humanity. The indigenous
peoples of Latin America are not exempt from these promises, despite the
marginalization and abandonment in which they live (Sandall, R., 2018).
I think Australia is more than kangaroos, koalas, beaches and people surfing.
That sounds pretty obvious, but there is one aspect of Australia that is not as popular:
its indigenous communities. I suspect that the fault was not only my ignorance, but the
lack of recognition of the indigenous people within the same country. Before being
colonized by the British, in Australia there were thousands (between 375 thousand - 700
thousand) of indigenous people, between aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders, divided
into hundreds of clans. It is estimated that when the Europeans arrived in 1788,
approximately 700 languages were spoken (Hunter, N.D., 2017). Duo citizenship
opened the world of aborigines and Australians therefore leading to erosion of cultures
and values. Like any other civilization, time catches up with peoples cultures. Aborigines
have still been denied full citizenship.
Although duo citizenship is a plus to postmodern Australia, it remains a cultural
diluting factor as many cultures are brought in to Australia. Examples include;

The current process of transforming the world stage has three major aspects: the
economic one, which defines access to things, politics, which defines the relations of
power, and the ideological-cultural, occupied with meaning and meaning.
In Australia there has been a long road to recognition and reconciliation with
indigenous communities. It was only in 1967 when, after a referendum, it was decided
to count them in the census as part of the population. Social movements, indigenous
groups, trade unions and other groups and organizations around the world are looking
for ways to counteract this power and implement a true democracy. One of the most
important ways is precisely through the use of new technologies (Liebenberg, and
Wood, 2015). The analysis criteria of all the websites found for my research, as well as
the specific analyzes conducted on the five selected websites, are based on the
concepts of Representation and Self-representation, Democracy, Indigenous
Development and Indigenous Peoples.
