Engineering Innovation and Ethicsof Aboriginal People in Australia

Question: Discuss about the Engineering Innovation and Ethics in Australia. Answer: The history of aboriginal people in Australia has faced the violent Rampage and bloodshed over the past century. The aboriginals has been treated with hatred and been out casted by Australians being racist towards them as well as showing unkindness. The original people have been excluded from getting pensions, employments, cast their vote, enter at banks and post offices as well as enlistment within the arm forces and maternity allowance. The white Australian policy tried to dominate the original people in Australia through incorporating British forces and killing the aboriginals. However in 1904 the Western Australian aborigines Act was passed that provided aboriginals right for being reserved candidates. Later in 1909 aboriginal Children's are removed from the families as well as practices of being domestic servants. In 1912 Maternity allowance was introduced but did not include the aboriginal people of Australia. In 1814 approximately 500 to 400 aboriginal children were removed fr om their families. In 1918 the originals were not permitted to drink or possess any kind of alcohol as well as methylated spirits as well as they were not allowed to marry a non aboriginal person. In 1828 the originals for refused to provided with Legal Aid by the Federal government however in 1934 the aboriginal act was passed that made them have access to the similar right such as the whites (Chen, 2015). In 1938 however the originals protested against inequality disposition injustice of land as well as protection in properties. During World War II the aboriginal peoples also not being recognized as citizen created two military units that served the arm forces, soldiers, sailors and airman. Braunstein et al. (2014) stated that as a result of the 1937 conference Queens the legislation was passed for allowing aboriginal people to have same compensation as a worker. In 1943 the aboriginals was introduced with exemption certificate that allowed them to Mary, drink alcohol and move freely as well as send their children to public schools. The Commonwealth citizenship as well as the act of nationality for the first time including aboriginal people in Australia was created in 1948. The Commonwealth electoral Act was passed in 1962 that enabled them to vote in Western Australia Queensland. Going to the Northern territory in 1967 referendum of Commonwealth approximately more than 90% of the vot es forecasting for empowering the Commonwealth in legislate for all the aboriginal people. Finally the Aborigines Advisory Council was set up that established National aboriginal Sports Foundation for helping sports activities and financing. In 1976 the Victoria new aboriginal child care agency was established that received 40% reduction as well as increased child home (Friesen, 2016). For the aboriginals the government in 2004 started using shared responsibility agreements in which roles and responsibilities of the government as well as the aboriginal communities was considered as in relation for particular activity within a project. In 2006 the sacrifice and service aboriginal servicemen was recognized. In 2010, Australian based logical Social Justice was inaugurated with its president Julian Moore. In 2015 the first about regional women was elected to Queensland parliament. According to Giroux (2015), on 18 January 2017 Kane Wyatt was appointed the minister for indigenous health as well as aged care that made him the first aboriginal Federal minister indigenous land use agreements. On 3rd April 2017 the first female aboriginal and Torres strait islander social justice Commissioner Australian Human Rights Commission was elected. The history of the broader Torres strait islander people of Australia will definitely enable me as an engineer to communicate with them with more respect and value as the aboriginals were treated with extreme bondage, suffered tremendous oppression and tyranny from the White government. I believe that they needed to be treated with adequate care, attention and sense of respect. Further the current Australian government recognizing the Torres Strait islander people as rightful citizen of Australia having their own rights as well as constitutional power. I need to understand the various kinds of rights and regulations of Australia that are already implemented on these workers such as the labor law and other relevant regulations. As the aboriginals were subjected to Extreme racism and oppression in the early century, I believe that as an engineer they should be approached with adequate kindness and gratitude. We should be extremely cautious not to harm their cultural and traditional beliefs. As an engineer the general background of the Indigenous people stories including their belief system, security family in family structure relationship, interconnectedness with native language in identity impact of historical process on an entity. Koch (2016) commented that individual responses as well as community to colonizing the broad characteristics of the communities of contemporaneous people should be understood that will help to promote and create awareness of the indigenous people. Contemporary issues such as poverty housing and unemployment that the communication effectiveness helps in communicating effectively with indigenous clients will ensure avoiding stereotyping, operational judgment about the any communities. The science and nature of information, engineering, mathematics technology and environmental profession should be critically examined (Halth.qld.gov.au, 2017). In the current western dominant society the aboriginal and Torres strait islander people are marginalized and are often considered as socially disadvantaged minority group compared to other Australian. Hence as an engineer I should understand the cultural belief, values and moral influence maintaining international behaviors with the Torres Strait islander people as well as the Aborigines of Australia (Watts, 2014). The personal communication skill that I will be using to communicate with the indigenous people is that I will place high sense and values in building and maintaining the relationship before taking a business approach. I will introduce myself to them in a normal family manner also asking them to share their stories regarding their self, share a common topic of interest. As most of the aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people do not speak English and they have been speaking English in different dialects of aboriginal English, I will try to overcome the language barrier by avoiding complex words and jargons (Myth, 2013). I would also always use words that are easily understandable by them using diagrams, models, images and DVDs to share my ideas and thoughts with them. I will be extremely cautious during communication so any kind of gestures, languages or sign of dominance to them. I will consider I am not getting flexible consultation times as well as explain taking time without wasting. I will try to use much for non verbal communication that conveys definite meanings as well as easy for their understanding (Striley, 2014). If the aboriginal people understands me easily, it will also make it easier to convey my messages and thought processes to them with less efforts. I will make sure that adequate personal space is provided to them as well as gift from me so that they are not feeling uncomfortable or threatened by my presence. I will try to make them comfortable by gaining much of the rapport with them and thus touch them with their permission for explaining with much more than enthusiasm and compassion. According to Pocock (2014), among Aborigines of Australia silence during the conversation is highly valued. A silent pause is used for enhancing listening. Silent should not be misinterpreted as understanding, lack of urgent constant agreements. Rather sign and body language together is considered to be respectful as it makes clarification regarding the discussion as well as the understanding. I will also ensure that I will not make eye contact with the aboriginal people as it is considered disrespecti ng act in aboriginals. I will try to observe and learn through the aboriginals body languages as well as use title such as uncle and aunty for showing respect for someone older than me. I will try to indirectly question name which is the most preferred opera singer about journals as the people have a tendency to accept and theory agree to each and every questions without understanding it. I will try to build up rapport explaining them the draught conclusion and explaining the reasons for the decision. Finally I will be much more informal in my approach trying not to hurt their feelings and cultural belief during conversation. As an engineer I will also try to convey my messages clearly and simply as possible so as to avoid complicacy of misunderstanding. References Chen, S. H. (2015).
