Reflective Social Work Essay
Assignment 3 - Outline
I have worked with the aboriginal community for a few years and would like to learn more. I felt that doing research and a paper with regards to Aboriginal people would be relevant and a great learning opportunity to write a paper with regards to this topic. Please see below a rough outline that I thought I would look at with regards to writing a paper. I’m not sure if this was exactly what you were looking for.
Historical Influcences on First Nations
Epistology - challenging me to look at how knowledge is and has been constructed and which knowledge has been and continues to be privileged
Structural and Cultural coloization by Euro-Western Society (p. 31)
Systematic distruction of Aboriginal history, language, identity, traditions, spirituality
Goal to assimilate
Residential school system

Current Challenges

Impact of Colonialism
Advantages of rights, benefits that are implicity granted to groups of people who reflect a site of dominance (p22 unit 2)
Formal and informal power structures (p.29)
How social social influences what I know
Resilance
Bell Hooks discusses the importance of how students and educators need to create a “learning space that can be both life sustaining and mind-expanding: where we all work together to support one another.
Arney Mindell also talks that “the well-being of our communities depends upon representation from all community members. Deep democracy also looks at the ways in which communities engage with regards to power, inclusion, and marinality.
Will discuss about resilence - theory - protective factors (connection to community / connection to spirituality)
I will then discuss
