[Solved] Strengths of Australian Aboriginal

Strengths of Australian Aboriginal

This paper explores some of the characteristics of traditional Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander1 cultural
practices that contribute to effective family functioning, and how these practices can have positive effects
on children and communities. The approach is to gather the views of Aboriginal families and compare these
perspectives with supporting evidence drawn from the literature. The findings suggest that, provided the
necessary social conditions are in place, culture can be a protective force for children, families and communities.

Key messages

Aboriginal kinship relations reflect a complex and dynamic system that is not captured by existing non-
Indigenous definitions of family.
„„ Emerging evidence supports some of the strengths of traditional Aboriginal culture in family functioning
and raising children, yet conventional academic wisdom can be incompatible with traditional Aboriginal
knowledge systems.
„„ The strengths of Aboriginal cultural traditions, as they apply to family life and raising children, revolve
around four interrelated themes, including:
–– Theme 1: A collective community focus on child rearing helps children—The values of interdependence,
group cohesion and community loyalty are key features of Aboriginal family and community life, where
raising children is considered to be a shared responsibility of all community members.
–– Theme 2: Children need the freedom to explore and experience the world—Aboriginal communities
offer their children every opportunity to explore the world around them, to help them develop the
necessary skills to successfully negotiate their pathways to adulthood.
–– Theme 3: Elderly family members are important to family functioning—The elderly are highly respected
for their contributions to family life in Aboriginal communities, particularly in helping children to
understand the practical aspects of life and society.
–– Theme 4: Spirituality helps families cope with challenges—Families and communities who engage in
spiritual practices benefit from a greater sense of identity, and individuals are more likely to connect
with, support and help protect one another.

My order went 3 hours late and I also went mad. Then the customer support team calmed me down and offered me a flat discount of 50%. However, I did get my order and chilled out as the work was exactly what I requested. Next time I would place my order a bit sooner to save any trouble.
