This is because the aboriginal people are in a position to tell what they feel is good for them, and this is an important decolonization strategy. In comparison to the past, where the aboriginal people did not have such a chance, this can instill positive attitudes concerning the efforts of the social workers in solving some of the problems (Hart, Sinclair, & Bruyere, 2009)
Therefore, in an attempt to reduce the social problems they faced, the aboriginal people taken part in habits such as alcoholism, violence, and suicide. The aboriginal youth remain the most affected, mainly because of the development of suicidal thoughts, which have driven them to commit suicide (Kirmayer, & Valaskakis, 2009)
The males' aboriginal people are more affected than the females, but the females attempt suicide more often than the males. Although the statistics exist, there is still little information concerning aboriginal suicide, its causes and working interventions (LeMaster et
Therefore, using the risk factors it will be possible to develop an effective suicide prevention approach. Some of the risk factors include alcohol use, social isolation, male gender, violence victimization and perpetration (May et al
Therefore, any intervention should aim at changing the youth's perception of suicide. Research suggests that the socio-economic status of the people plays a contributory role in the high incidences of suicide (Mignone, 2005)
This is a decolonization strategy, which will give them a chance to air their views on the problem of suicide. In addition, it is vital to appreciate the people by keeping their culture strong, allow them to live on their ancestral lands, engage them in community empowerment, and allow them to practice their traditional laws will be working decolonization strategies (Thira, 2014)
The challenges people in a given society going through vary, and may include healthcare issues, or psychological issues. In this context, social work is relevant in the issue of suicide primarily because suicide is a habitual problem resulting from a variety of issues, such as mental problems (Turner, 2005)
"Luther believed that each individual has the right to reach God through Scripture with responsibility to God alone. It is not necessary for a priest to mediate" (Fairchild 2013)
While Western philosophy "endeavoured in a scientific, free and unprejudiced spirit to answer the problem in a rational way" the aborigines emphasized a more spiritual understanding of existence (Stanner 1968: 34). The very cosmos itself is seen as alive (Rose 1987: 260)
500 words per question (total of 1500 words) Examine the ways in which Aboriginal religion has influenced the beliefs and practices of indigenous people beyond traditional movements. Aboriginal religion and culture conceives of time and space in a fundamentally different manner than traditional Western culture (Stanner 1968: 33)
The government of Canada needs to develop policies in combating homelessness, reduce income gaps, and improve its healthcare facilities. Do the "Indian Act" and another factor discriminate against Inuit people? In the application of the Indian Act, persons of the Inuit races are not party (Canada, 2014: 4)
Some of these citizens live in deplorable housing; adult male population smokes more than their Canadian counterparts do. They smoke and participate in more risky behaviors (Hanselmann
This means that the population enjoys better healthcare services and affords education. However, for Inuit, Low-income rates and unemployment rates have led to homelessness in Canadian cities (Hwang, 2001: 4)
The Inuit community is descendants of the Thule culture. They arrived in Canada in the 13th century, and they had no contact with the Europeans for a century (Lepage, 2009: 22-24)
This incidence leads persons of Aboriginal descent having low self-esteem. Discrimination exists in the healthcare, criminal justice, housing, employment, and education (Mccaskil, 2012: 3-15)
Lone parents are at a higher risk of poverty and less likely engaging in activities that build capital. Such eventuality affects their healthcare needs (Shah, Gunraj & Hux, and 2003: 3)
Persons with low-income rates may not enjoy better healthcare services. Low-income levels on the Aboriginal people of Canada have led to an increase in substance abuse, stress, social ills, poor dieting, and hygiene (Wilson & Macdonald, 2010: 7-12)
However, the system still faces challenges from infant mortality rates, tuberculosis, and other diseases. Moreover, there has been a decline in the incidences of other infectious diseases, but an increase in injuries and diabetes (Young2003: 2)
(Battiste, 2002) There are educators and researchers of both aboriginal descent and non-Aboriginal descent who feel that poor academic performance of the students is because of the ignorance or the reduced sensitive that is shown by the teacher and other class mates. (Agbo, 2001) Seeing how the number of Aboriginal and Torres Stated Islander enrollments in colleges and universities has been increasing, there has been more interest given to their growth and progress
On the other hand, research states that it is the school system and not the aboriginal culture that must be altered. (Battiste, 2002) There are educators and researchers of both aboriginal descent and non-Aboriginal descent who feel that poor academic performance of the students is because of the ignorance or the reduced sensitive that is shown by the teacher and other class mates
