Over module one you have reflected on your knowledge and understanding about yourself in relation to the construction of ideas about collective Australian culture, including of Indigenous Australians. In this task you will critique two examples from the Media to investigate how ideas about Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians are reproduced and reinforced institutionally. You will choose two articles to analyse. Article 1: Aboriginal Activism in 1930-40s Article 2: Victoria says 'no' to changing Anzac Day Article 3: First Fleet good for Aboriginals [sic] You must provide a separate critique of 400 words for each article. Use the following guide questions to assist you to focus each critique but do not respond to each question individually. You must provide a synthesised response which considers your own pre-existing knowledge and cultural competence. 1. Thinking about your knowledge of Australian history, does the author provide all the information required to understand the issue being discussed? What information is missing? 2. Is there a presumption that readers already hold views about Indigenous peoples? What are the taken-for-granted assumptions? 3. What would a reader infer about the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples based on the text of the article? How are Indigenous and non-Indigenous people positioned in the article? 4. Is there an Indigenous viewpoint included in the article? If yes, how does the author use Indigenous perspectives to support or contradict the main message? If no, how could this influence a readers' perception of Indigenous people and of the main message in the article? 5. How might Indigenous and non-Indigenous readers interpret the ideas expressed? This task does not require you to express your opinion on the points made in the articles. You must critique the article to identify the main ideas that are evident and then analyse the sub-text - ‘reading-between-the lines’ – to investigate the impact of the message in reinforcing ideas about Australian culture and Indigenous peoples and issues. Rationale back to top This assessment task will assess the following learning outcome/s: · be able to investigate, compare and reflect on standpoint to explain Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples' historical positioning. · be able to describe, analyse and theorise individual and collective standpoint in relation to Indigenous peoples' experiences of Australian history. This task extends on Task 1 to work toward meeting the following IKC101 Learning Outcomes: LO1: Be able to investigate, compare and reflect on standpoint to explain Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples’ historical positioning; LO2: Be able to describe, analyse, and theorise individual and collective standpoint in relation to Indigenous peoples' experience of Australian history. In Task 1 you focussed on the reflection of your own knowledge and the influences on how you came to know things about Indigenous Australians. If you are Indigenous, or have connections with an Indigenous community or group, you will have access to more social knowledge than those who are not Indigenous or do not have such associations. Task 2 requires you to apply your self-reflection to the critique of two media articles. If you lack knowledge about a topic or issue institutions like the media may more easily persuade you to adopt a particular perspective. There is also knowledge that we take-for-granted because powerful institutions like schools, churches, government, the media (and social media) reinforce them.

Reading Description Disclaimer: (This reference information is provided as a guide only, and may not conform to the required referencing standards for your subject) Introduction to cultural competence Introduction Cultural competence is essential if we are to work effectively with people from diverse cultural backgrounds.Western psychologists (and most Australian psychologists today are from a Western cultural background) are reasonably culturally competent when they work with Western clients or communities, since they share aspects of the same culture and therefore 'know' the culture of the Western client. However, many Western psychologists have a poor understanding of non-Western cultures. This may result in misunderstanding. miscommunication and reduced effectiveness of treatment and intervention. If a non-Western potential client, who may need psychological intervention, feels that a Western practitioner or therapist does not understand them or is not sensitive to their cultural differences, they may be deterred from attending an initial appointment or, if they have managed to come once, they may not come again. In extreme cases, a practitioner who is culturally incompetent may do more harm than good. People are culturally diverse in a large range of attributes, including ethnicity, socioeconomic background, gender, sexual orientation, and level of physical or intellectual ability. (Culture
