Effects of colonization on indigenous people in Australia
The colonization of Australia had a devastating impact on the
indigenous consumers who have lived in this place of thousands of years. It
is observed that around 20,000 aboriginal consumers were killed because of
colonial violence at the time of this era of the Australian past. The social
and economic impacts are also linked with colonization on indigenous
consumers because of the lack of opportunities, poor nutrition and
inadequate education. A recent study identified that between 1788 and
1900, the indigenous population in Australia was decreased by 90% because
of major three factors including the introduction of new health disorders,
setter acquisition of lands and direct and violence-related conflict with the
colonizers in Australia.
It is observed that the increment in the health diseases is a major
impact of colonization on indigenous consumers where the consumers were
suffered from smallpox, measles and influenza in the last few years.
Paradies, (2016) identified that many immediate consequences of
colonization problem were increased the rate of influenza kind of disease
that spread the settlement frontier and also defeated numbers of indigenous
associations. A recent study provided by Governor Phillip observed that
smallpox affected thousands of consumers in Sydney and most of indigenous
were killed because of this health disease. Because of the colonization,
more than 56% of indigenous women in Australia were suffered from sexual
harassment and abuse and also produced venereal disorder in epidemic
possessions. It is identified that dispossession is another key factor that has
occurred due to colonization and indigenous consumers also faced violence-
related problems.
The extension of British settlements, involving the foundation of
provinces in Van Diemen's Land, Adelaide, Moreton Bay and Port Phillip,
brought about challenge over land and assets, and rapidly lead to savagery.
