Hi all,
Thank you to all those who voted on my Blog. After much consideration I have decided to research the stereotypes that Australians hold about aboriginals or indigenous Australians. There is one stereotype in particular that i have stumbled across quite a lot throughout my research which is the stereotypes that all aboriginals are "drunks on the dole".
I should have a concept map up soon and hopefully a draft essay will follow shortly after, but at this stage i am looking for any suggestions or comments you may have regarding this harsh and very negative stereotype.
Look forward to hearing from you

I wonder if there are at least dual stereotypes, e.g., "drunks, lazy, on the dole, etc." and the "hunting, fishing, corroboree, primitive, etc." traditional stereotype?
Hi Emma,
I completely agree that there is the drunk and on the dole stereotype of Aborginal people. I use to live in a community with a high Aboriginal population and the few Aborginals that were seen drunk in public created a disorted image. I think people take in what they immediately see (ie. one Aboriginal drunk in a park) and miss for example, the Aboriginals at school and the families at home. People are unable to view each individual case of a non-drunk employed Aboriginal, however this does not make the stereotype correct.
What an interesting read! Being a university student is not a walk in the park especially when it involves writing an essay. Having to write an essay paper within a given dateline is extremely stressful. Fortunately, there is a site that offers Psychology essay help in Australia. Hopefully, it will help you to complete your essay with ease. Good luck!
