Indigenous View Points

Question: Evaluate the extent in which aboriginal people are deprived from the government guideline and other human rights protocols. Answer: Introduction The purpose of this study is to evaluate the extent in which aboriginal people are deprived from the governmental guideline and other human rights protocols. This study consists of a vast literature regarding the people of Bagot community, which is a city of Darwin. The introductory section of this study consists of the background regarding whether government of Australia has taken proactive approach for providing proper human rights facility or not (Attorneys, 2010). Moreover, this section consists of the overall background regarding the aboriginals of Bagot community (Day, 2012). In the second section, it describes regarding the ethics protocol in order to access indigenous knowledge. Government of Australia has different legal guidelines for protecting people from different aspects such as intellectual property and human rights (Australia Human Right Commission, 2016). However, the aboriginal group of Bagot community has been deprived from these legal protocols and frameworks. The refore, this study will also emphasize on the issues faced by the aboriginals while protecting their intellectual properties. Background of Bagot Community The people of Bagot community are the backward class of the society. This particular community is not much civilized like the international communities and seems to be the most marginal and vulnerable community in the world (IAITPTF, 2012). Moreover, this community is not able to take advantages from the governmental legislations and polices of human rights. Therefore, people from civilized communities in Australia discriminate them and deprive from the other facilities such as medical attention (Salam, 2016). When it comes to the human rights facilities, this community is not able to gain positive outcome. Apart from that, protection of intellectual property is not valid for this particular community, which is the major issue faced by aboriginal people (Shah, 2008). Rationale for an ethics Protocol There are different issues faced by the aboriginal people in Bagot community such as discrimination, economic globalization, climate change, conflict areas, human rights violation, loss of land, poverty, bio-cultural diversity and other social issues (Brimblecombe et al., 2013). Following is the discussion regarding how aboriginal people are facing issues from the social and legal perspectives (Cusack, de Crespigny Wilson, 2013). The reason behind legislations implemented by the government is to protect the aboriginal people from unexpected social discrimination. The government is aimed to protect the cultural knowledge for which intellectual property right has been implemented by the government. Apart from that, the following discussion focuses on ethical perspectives, which should be considered for providing them a better community. Discrimination: Due to emerging trend of colonization, people spited in different communities in different geographical locations. Therefore, different group of people relies on different cultural aspects (Hayman Armstrong, 2014). From the beginning of civilization, people are trying to develop themselves. However, some communities are unable to achieve the same and gradually developed themselves at a low rate in respects of the other communities (Lord Alderdice, 2014). In case of the aboriginal people of Bagot, these people are not that much civilized in respect of the urban people of Australia. Thus, urban people of Australia sometimes discriminate the aboriginal community, which is the most important cause of not getting civilized (Molloy Grootjans, 2014). The aboriginal people are not allowed to vote and therefore, consumerism is not belongs to them. Moreover, this group is also not allowed to take advantages of the public services such as health, water, education (Parker, 2014 ). In order to reduce negative impact of discrimination, government of Australia has initiated different social campaign. In this manner, government of Australia addresses the human rights issue of aboriginal people of Bagot community. When it comes to the cultural aspects of the aboriginal people, the education system of Australia prevents the aboriginal people to learn about their traditional language (Royer, 2014). The dominant society of Australia discriminate this group of people and this is the major issue, which prevents them to maintain their traditional culture. Economic Globalization: The change in global economy tends the global organizations to extract natural resources from the aboriginals territories (Swannell, 2014). These activities of global organizations affect the well-being of the rural people. Moreover, the organizations are continuously acquiring aboriginals territories for expanding in global market (Zander, Petheram Garnett, 2013). This issue affects the existence of aboriginal people in Australia and therefore certain measures needs to be taken in order to prevent negative impact of this issue. Climate Change: The developed community of the society is directly responsible for changing the environment. In current era, use of technological equipments has increased and therefore, many industrial organizations are damaging the environment (Attorneys, 2010). On the other hand, the aboriginal society of Australia does not have any contribution in this environmental change. However, they face the bitter consequences of environment change such as flood, draught, earthquake and many more (Day, 2012). The Australian aboriginal people generally leave in suburb are of the country. Therefore, the chance of getting affected by the natural disaster is very high. On the other hand, government of Australia has implemented different policies for reducing industrial emission (IAITPTF, 2012). According to this policy planting corps and trees is the responsibility of some industrial organization, which is again a major threat to the aboriginal people (Salam, 2016). Conflict areas: Conflict in terms of globalization and political reasons is one of the common issues faced by the indigenous people (Shah, 2008). In case of Australian indigenous people, the community often gets involved in confliction with the global organizations and political organizations (Brimblecombe et al., 2013). Moreover, this community is not allowed to get the minimum rights, which tends the group to participate in violent conflicts. Loss of land: As indigenous people are not legal citizen of Australia, they do not have legal rights on their land. The international organizations of Australian market are targeting the land for expanding business (Cusack, de Crespigny Wilson, 2013). Therefore, existence of indigenous people is now under threat. The reason behind why organizations target these locations is high availability of resources. Therefore, the aboriginal community is running out of natural resources and migrating to the urban location for maintaining stable earning. The above issues shows that the government of Australia needs to incorporate some ethical protocols. In this manner, government of Australia will be able to reduce the issues faced by the indigenous people of community (Hayman Armstrong, 2014). While in case of legal framework, it is not possible to implement huge change (Lord Alderdice, 2014). However, incorporating ethical decision-making process will be effective for reducing risk factors for the rural community. Addressing issues of human rights, cultural rights and intellectual property rights Government of Australia has implemented different legislations for protecting the indigenous people. In order to protect human rights of indigenous, the government of Australia has implemented Aboriginal Protection Act in 1869. According to this legislation, the government of Australia is solely responsible for monitoring the social activities for providing protection to the rural people (Molloy Grootjans 2014). According to the human right protection, every human being should have proper access to the health care and other public services (Parker, 2014). Therefore, government of Australia has implemented Aboriginal Protection and Restrictions of the sale of opium Act in 1897. Moreover, the government has implemented Aboriginal Lands Act in 1970 for providing authentication for acquiring the land they leave (Royer, 2014). In this manner, the indigenous people can be able to survive and they will be able to maintain their tradition. In order to maintain this heritage society, the gov ernment has initiated National Parks and Wildlife Act in 1974. The aboriginal people of Australia are mostly affected by the global acceptance, because they often face issues regarding discrimination (Swannell, 2014). Therefore, the government of Australia has also implemented ethical protocols for improving the social environment of the country. Communication with the aboriginals is not that healthy and therefore, certain issues remain unchanged. However, the government has taken a proactive approach for increasing communication with the aboriginal society (Zander, Petheram Garnett, 2013). The recent change in social tread tends the aboriginal people to migrate in urban areas for searching work in order to survive. Government through not have any legal framework for allowing the people to participate in socially recognized profession (Day, 2012). In order to reduce negative impact of discrimination, government of Australia has initiated different social campaign. In this manner, government of Australia addresses the human rights issue of aboriginal people of Bagot community (IAITPTF, 2012). In order to improve this aspect even better, government of Australia has implemented Indigenous Advancement Strategy. This approach helps the aboriginal people to gain access to the public services along with education and job (Salam, 20 16). Apart from that, government has provided high provision to the aboriginal people to gain safety from the legal framework. According to this policy, organizations of domestic and international market are not allowed to acquire land of the aboriginal people (Shah, 2008). Therefore, it can be said that government has taken proactive approach for protecting the aboriginal people. However, the policies are not maintained by the local residence of Australia. The local residence of Australia use to dominate the aboriginal society, which prevents their development (Brimblecombe et al., 2013). The government has also taken proactive approach for maintaining the cultural behavior of the aboriginal people. In order to achieve this objective, government has not only implemented legislations, but also has implemented various ethical protocols (Cusack, de Crespigny Wilson, 2013). Cultural right refers to the tradition of social community. In case of aboriginal people, they are traditionally divided into two separate groups depending on gender. The changing trend of economical environment tends the aboriginal people to migrate in urban areas for earning currency (Hayman Armstrong, 2014). On the other hand, the female community is responsible for household responsibilities. The recent issue of aboriginal people prevents them to maintain their traditional culture along with the language. Therefore, government of Australia has provided them the provision of continue their cultural activities (Molloy Grootjans, 2014). It is the right of human being to maintain their cultural behavior long with the activities and linguistic behavior. Moreover, government has implemented different campaign in different locations for increasing awareness regarding aboriginal culture (Parker, 2014). In this manner, it is possible to spread social awareness to the people of urban are as. Therefore, it can be said that the government has taken positive approach for improving cultural aspect of the people (Royer, 2014). Apart from that, government has implemented policies regarding financial guidance to the aboriginal people. As this particular group is not that much civilized. It is obvious that people in this community are not aware regarding financial measures. Increasing awareness regarding this aspect allows aboriginal people to survive it his changing global economy (Swannell, 2014). According to the human rights policy, every human should have access to the public services such as education, health care and other necessary services (Zander, Petheram Garnett, 2013). Empowering the aboriginal society is the aim of these policies and therefore, it can be evident that the government needs to increase awareness among aboriginal and civilized people in order to gain positive outcome (Attorneys, 2010). The aboriginal society of Australia is deprived from the emer ging improvement. This particular society is not able to access the technological innovation (Day, 2012). Therefore, it is being difficult for this society to migrate to the urban area for improving their life style. On the other hand, government of Australia has implemented different policies for maintaining the cultural aspects of the aboriginal people. The term intellectual property rights refers to the process of providing minimum right of preventing intellectual property. In case of the aboriginal people, they are not allowed to take patent of their cultural activities such as tribal dance. However, it is the right of any social group to protect their intellectual property (IAITPTF, 2012). Indigenous Intellectual Property is a legal team, which monitors the ability of people for protecting their intellectual property such as cultural knowledge. The World Intellectual Property Organization is solely responsible for promoting the good practice of protecting cultural knowledge of the aboriginal people. Most of the time, cultural knowledge of the aboriginal people is not protected due to lack of knowledge. The people of rural location are not aware about the legal prospects and therefore, the cultural knowledge is not protected in many urban societies (Salam, 2016). Moreover, cultural property includes different traditional elements such as design, artifacts, historical sites, performing arts and artwork. The reason behind promoting protection of intellectual property helps the aboriginal people to maintain economical stability (Shah, 2008). Tourists can visit the aboriginal territories for amusement purpose, which can improve economical condition of people. Though, government of Australia has implemented ethical protocols for increasing awareness regarding protection of intellectual property (Brimblecombe et al., 2013). Many organizations are conducting social campaign for protecting the aboriginal society of Australia. In case of Bagot community, people of this location are now days recognized for their creative works. Apart from that, the cultural knowledge of these people is acknowledged by many countries. The international human right law shows that every community should have the right to protect their intellectual property and therefore, Australian government has taken proactive approach for addressing this issue (Cusack, de Crespigny Wilson, 2013). In order to address this issue, the government has conducted many social campaign in which the awareness regarding intellectual knowledge has been increased among the aboriginal society (Hayman Armstrong, 2014). The purpose behind increasing awareness regarding intellectual property protection is to provide financial stability to the aboriginal society. Apart from that, some of the countries have shown huge respect to their traditional culture (Lord Alderdice, 2014). However, the aboriginal community is partially unaware regarding their ability of protecting the intellectual property (Brimblecombe et al., 2013). Therefore, it is sometimes gets di fficult for the government to reduce negative impact of this issue. Conclusion While concluding, it can be said that aboriginal people of Australia faces different issues regarding their human, cultural and intellectual property right. The study shows that maintaining traditional lifestyle is being a difficult factor for the Australian indigenous. The major reason behind this issue is economical globalization, which prevents the aboriginal people to survive. The global business environment influences the organizations to incorporate innovative technologies to their business activities. Therefore, some organization has increasingly participating in environmental protection by reducing carbon emission. However, the sustainable practices are limited to their environmental report. Therefore, it affects the overall environmental quality and increasing chance of different natural disasters. It affects the well-being of the aboriginal people, despite the fact that they are not responsible for the environmental change. When it comes to the cultural right of the aborigi nal community, the government has implemented different policies in which government monitors the human right provision for the aboriginal people. Moreover, this study shows that Government of Australia has taken a proactive approach for increasing awareness regarding the importance of cultural knowledge. This study further includes many legislations of government for protecting intellectual property of aboriginal people. References Attorneys, C.A.
