This lecture was a real eye opener form
me, I’d never really had much contact with anyone aboriginal that was more than
a few years older than me and I was very interesting to see how his view of
Australian culture was a lot more negative. I hadn’t really considered how
great the impact of white culture being force upon aboriginal people, when I
think about these events like the stolen generation and mistreatment of the
aboriginal people it seems like it happened hundreds of years ago because it
wasn’t in my lifetime just like when I think about the world wars. It was
interesting to see that the emotional effects are still with people alive
today. Because we are so focused on the present and future it is so easy to
forget the past.
