In your opinion what is the most important thing Aboriginal people could learn from our Western society? |
| Alexander Kaye from USA |
Education and the understanding of how other cultures think and operate are very powerful tools. Teaching others the value of one's own culture may be necessary for survival. |
| Andrew from Australia |
Better social communication. |
| Antti Kässi from Finland |
Can't really pick one |
| Brent Groover from USA |
That there are many cultural differences in the West ~ incredible diversity and most of it good. |

It's tough because I know almost nothing about the relationship between Aboriginal people and their relationship with Western society. Maybe just something like the above - how Western society relates to the stories of how things have changed in the last few centuries. |

Not much...we really haven't done anything of great importance that could be considered a good exemple.Sure there has been industrialisation invention the increase in all corners of economy and even culture but at what cost we have lost so so much and have forgotten how to live in touch and with respect for the land. After all we live on this tiny blue grain of sand in the Universe and all we do is destroy it. |

Perhaps some technological things but I don't think too much of western society is a good thing. |
| Gerry from South Africa |
In my honest opinion I do not think that they could/would have to learn much from Western society. Before western type of civilisation they were living fine. |

Can't think of anything at the moment. Many of the problems that they face were brought upon them by outside influences - drugs alcohol. One thing might be protection of their heritage by protecting their intellectual and artistic rights. |

Honestly nothing. aborigines have been around much longer than "civilized" societies and have been just fine. you beliefs medicine music everything is centuries old and beautiful. if ANYthing maybe they could learn politics only because they are so engraved in today's society that nobody can ignore them. |

Not to be intimidated by our technology. It is good when used properly only. |
