*** WORD COUNT MATTERS***
Explanation / Answer
1. Factors that put cultural groups in risk are:
Social capital is scattered in Aboriginal communities facing a chronic state of crisis. As observed in Canada, history matters. Traumatic events such as the period of the Residential Schools, often concurrent with forced permanent settlement, the loss of hunting and traditional lands and, the loss of traditional survival means, have broken the social cohesion. Central means of identity such as rituals and religion were destroyed. The traditional leaders were replaced by missionaries and bureaucrats. In other words “collective trauma razes to the ground existing associational ties and at the same time, it inhibits individual capacity to recreate viable and productive social ties.
2. The concept of resilience is very important among the population because it inspires hope in the face of harsh adversity. The concept of resilience is similar to a personality factor that has been gradually replaced by the notion of trajectory of adaptation. Many authors who have recently agree that resilience is a long process of interactions between an individual and his or her environment to face adversity, and lead to the emergence of moral strength and a sense of optimism. There is good evidence that individual factors play a role in the construction of resilience such as genes, personality traits and intelligence.
Resilience has returned to the traditional culture of the past as a fundamental path to healing. This movement contributed to promoting the revival of ancient or borrowed rituals in order, for instance, to prevent youth suicide attempts and alcoholism.
3. Research conducted in Aboriginal communities is considered as disrespectful, lacking benefit to the community and exploiting Aboriginal sacred knowledge.Other Aboriginals discussed about non-Aboriginal researchers; researchers that abide by the guidelines and good practices set forth by the Canadian government.
There are many ethical issues in the study of the Canadian Aboriginals.
a. Obtaining free and informed consent from the relevant authorities.
b. Negotiating responsibilities before seeking free and informed consent.
c. Political issues: People with the political background does not encourage to conduct the studies.
