Apology to Aboriginals

It would take a lot of convincing for the British to apologize to the Australians. I would start by talking about the stolen generation where the British stole the Australian children and separated families, the raising the children in the British culture, they did this for around 50 years, just because of their skin color and that they wanted to breed the native looks out of the children. Also, I would definitely talk about all the destruction that the British have caused to the Australian land and how the land has totally changed from its natural look, into a totally different look with villages and farms and cities. The smallpox also wiped out a lot of the race and is something that should be considered. All these reasons help me prove my point and can be used as a great argument on why they should receive an apology.

Colonization-Ethnocentricity

The ethnocentricity of the British caused lots of horrible problems which created conflict between the two races. This was because the British brought their own culture since they thought it was much better than the Australian culture since they believed that they were more civilized.Then, the British forced the Australians to adjust to their new surroundings which caused conflict between the two races.One example is when they brought their own animals such as rabbits to the land which later on overpopulated the land.Another example is how they kidnapped Bennelong and treated him very nicely in order make him love the British culture and get used to it, and the British brought Bennelong to England which was all an act of showing that they conquered the land. But then it turned out to be bad because the Aboriginals wanted payback for kidnapping Bennelong, and that turned out to cause some conflict between them. All these reasons show what the British doesn't want the Australians and the Australians don't want them.

Rabbit Proof Fence in Australia

Molly is characterized as a hero because she demonstrates the courage and mental power to stay strong and look after herself and sister and cousin even though she has been taken away from her mother. She tries her best to fit into the surrounding environment but it's very hard for her since she's very used to the aboriginal life, and finds it difficult to get used to the British culture all of a sudden. Molly realizes that she will not be able to fit into this culture and decides that she should run away to her mother, even though she's 1200 miles away, this shows Molly's hero-like mind and strong will.
