Apology

After taking over Australia and controlling over the aboriginal for so many years, I think is time for the White Australians to realize their mistakes. The aboriginal were innocent and happy when they were living in Australia until the British arrived. They successfully took over Australia and started planning about eliminating the First Australians, which was where the conflicts and tragedies occurred. First of all, the White Australians started reducing the aboriginal by basically kidnapping the half-caste away and sent them to a camp. This was a very terrible idea because they separated the children from their parents. The White Australians did not consider about the awfulness of breaking a family apart. All they knew was that the aboriginal had to become like the White Australian, and they never thought about the feelings that the aboriginal had. They did not know or care about how much impact they had done to the parents of the lost generation. In other words, the White Australians never treated the aboriginal nicely and kindly although they thought they were helping the aboriginal. Furthermore, forcing the lost generation to learn the British life had destroyed the original culture of the First Australians. They taught the aboriginal's kids English and forced them to live in a whole new life. Thus, when the lost generation grew up, the aboriginal's culture will be forgotten and lost forever. Do you think this is fair to the First Australians who lived in Australia before them? Do you think separating the aboriginal's children from their parents and culture is an honorable act? Therefore, realize your mistakes now and fixed them before it is too late, and a formal apology to the aboriginal will be appropriate.

  1. Your paragraph is well written and explained well why the white Australians should apology. I like the questions that you have asked, it makes me to think more about the Aboriginals perspective. This helped me to understand more about the Australians.
