Talk:Motivation and emotion/Book/2015/Stolen Generations and emotion

Comments

Hi! I did a minor edit by changing the format of your title - Hope that was OK! Also, your topic sounds really interesting, can't wait to read the final product. --U3082322 (discuss • contribs) 22:08, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, topic looks good so far! One suggestion I have is that you could use 'Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples' and 'Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander' instead of Aboriginals/Aboriginal respectively. It recognizes Torres Strait Islander people too, which is important! Even if you choose not to use that the whole way through, I think it would be good at the beginning as a minimum (then clarify that you will be referring to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people as 'Aboriginal' for the remainder of the chapter). That's what a lot of academic literature seems to do, and is what my Indigenous Studies teachers have requested in the past. Hope that helps!

Another thing! I found this interesting TED Talk on how child neglect and abuse can effect brain development, and physical health later in life. It's not Indigenous specific, but it's easily generalized to your topic. Might be a good external link? https://www.ted.com/talks/nadine_burke_harris_how_childhood_trauma_affects_health_across_a_lifetime U3036889 (discuss • contribs) 01:58, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi! This is a very interesting topic! I've noticed that you do not have any theories listed in your table of contents, and are instead exploring the emotions experienced by the Stolen Generation and other cultural factors. It would be highly beneficial for you to include at least 2 theories in your chapter (theory = 30% of your marks). Some theories you could include would be those used for adoptees and trauma survivors, and how these theories help those of the stolen generation to deal with their past. Best of luck! --U3081677 (discuss • contribs) 04:05, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I thought you might be interested in adding some information of transgenerational trauma in your book chapter. It is when trauma is transferred through generation after generation. There is a lot of research on this topic in regards to the effect that Aboriginal history has on Aboriginal people today, even though they did not personally live through those times.

Heading casing

FYI, the convention on Wikiversity is for lower-cased headings. For example, use: ==Cats and dogs== rather than ==Cats and Dogs== -- Jtneill - Talk - c 03:21, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
