SDP linking examples Flashcards
What examples link with the SDP; ‘inclusion and exclusion of Aboriginals in relation to access to education’ (inclusion - 3), (exclusion - 2)
Inclusion: Government funding ATSI students to go to high school and university. Further scholarships by universities such as UNSW and USYD offering pathways for people of Aboriginal descent. Inclusion of ATSI perspectives into the curriculum.
Exclusion: An attempt to educate Aboriginals in the ‘Western ways’ through taking them from their homes and giving them to European families in the past have resulted in the exclusion of Aboriginals. This is because they have problems with their socialisation which limit their ability to maintain relationships, have a good education etc.
The exclusion in the stolen generation is depicted when they did not have good access to education because they were treated essentially as slaves and put in bad conditions
What examples link with the SDP; ‘inclusion and exclusion of Aboriginals in relation to access to housing’. (Inclusion: 2) (Exclusion: 3)
Inclusion: Formation of social and affordable housing for Aboriginals by the government through the DCJ (department of communities and justice). Aboriginal Housing Office was created to make sure that Aboriginals have access to cheap, quality housing.
Exclusion: Aboriginals are faced with racial discrimination when attempting to get rents for housing. This can be largely due to preconceived ideas of distrust in Aboriginals due to the belief that they may be doing sketchy activities in the houses. They are also excluded in the fact that they are not earning enough to keep up with the inflationary rental prices because of their prior exclusion with the employment SVR. The places that they go to are also quite crowded and unsanitary in rural areas such the situation on Elcho Island
What examples link with the SDP; ‘inclusion and exclusion of Aboriginals in relation to access to employment’ (inclusion - 1) (exclusion - 1)
Inclusion: Government preventing discrimination in workplace due to gender, age, culture etc. Fair Work Act 2009 prevents discrimination due to those things.
Exclusion: Discrimination associated with Aboriginals despite various attempts at including them in employment opportunities. This idea is especially relevant due to negative perceptions of Aboriginals as not trustworthy and probably just using their money to buy drugs and alcohol.
What examples link with the SDP; ‘inclusion and exclusion of Aboriginals in relation to access to healthcare’ (Inclusion; 2) (Exclusion; 2)
Inclusion; Employing Aboriginal nurses and doctors to treat Aboriginals to improve the number of people having access to healthcare (culturally safe). Improving access to healthcare in rural areas (through community initiatives) such as the Tangentyere Aged and Community Services.
Exclusion; Aboriginal’s past experiences with the government has limited their access to healthcare. Because of the distrust of the existing healthcare system, many don’t want to go even if they are sick, leading to worsening healthcare. This idea is also reflected with vaccinations where Aboriginals are reluctant to take vaccinations because of past history with needles, which may have been used to abuse them
What examples link with the SDP; ‘inclusion and exclusion of Aboriginals in relation to access to the justice system’
Inclusion; Clean Slate Without Prejudice improving the interactions of Aboriginals with the Justice System through examples such as mentoring. There is also a good relationship between the justice system and Aboriginals in Redfern due to this program. The Justice System is now also more fair with Aboriginals
Exclusion; Stolen Generation had negative interactions with the justice system as they are more likely to become incarcerated and caught doing crimes. They are also more likely to be doing violent things and be in a violent relationship (thus bringing them to court). This is because the usage of illicit substances, and the idea that taking away from the family and brought into a culture which doesn’t accept aboriginals led to not being able to maintain good relationships. .

What examples link with the SDP; ‘influences on individual’s perception of others’
Personal Experience (i.e. Trent from the show ‘First Contact’ worked as a law enforcement officer, and thus had negative connotations with ATSI peoples)
Not having enough contact with (i.e. Marcus from the show ‘First Contact’ hasn’t had much contact with ATSI peoples, and thus rely on what other people say)
Villainization by the media
What examples link with the SDP; ‘How attitudes of group members towards other groups influence their behaviour towards those groups, including stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination’
(in other words, how does prejudice and discrimination affect behaviours towards Aboriginal people)
Through stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination affects behaviours towards Aboriginal people through preventing them from having access to SVRs. This can be seen in the example where house owners are less likely to rent out their houses to Aboriginal people due to prejudice. Furthermore, this is seen where employers don’t want to hire Aboriginals out of preconceived ideas, thus partly leading to the statistic where only 50% of ATSI peoples are taking part in the economy. Thus, leading to social exclusion
If having preconceived ideas, you will only look at the negative sides of an argument as opposed to positive, thus leading to a continual cycle of negative ideas towards Aboriginal people.
