Nursing - Assignment Sample PDF_1
1NURSING Born and brought up in a major city of Australia, I had limited knowledge and contactwith Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander heritage and culture. My knowledge and viewpointsabout this section of the Australian population developed in the recent past when I was exposed totheir culture and lifestyle during my higher studies. As a child, I had never taken much interest tolearn more about the cultures and traditions of diverse ethnic groups. However, I took theopportunity to engage myself in learning more about indigenous populations when I enrolled inthe nursing course. I believe that this section of the population has always been looked down to asthe downtrodden and underprivileged. I also strongly opine that the culture and traditions of theindividuals belonging to this section of the population have been long neglected, and still are notreceiving their deserving values. At this moment, I would like to mention that while my personalviews of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been shaped by literature and the massmedia, the role of my personal history in this regard is also to be mentioned. My personal views of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have been chieflyguided by my knowledge acquired from vast literature as well as the media. The Australianmedia, especially the mainstream media had frequently been distorting their reporting of theculture and customs of aboriginal people in the recent years. I have noticed that most media havepainted a picture in the eyes of the public that shows aboriginal people to be the subjugated andoppressed lot. Most media in Australia highlight aboriginal people to be candidates for ignoranttreatment and down putting. The mass media has gone to the considerable extent to includestereotypes in the journalism they put forward (Dreher et al., 2016). Coming across theinformative pieces spread through such media, I had developed the notion that aboriginals justifystereotyping and discrimination based on their social and economic status. At this point in time, Ineed to admit that I had been unintentionally judging indigenous people. Stoneham et al., (2014)
