Example introduction:
Background: Colonisation has impacted profoundly on indigenous communities worldwide and this essay examines and details some of those impacts.
Roadmap: Initially, the concept of colonisation will be explained, including the forces that were driving colonisation and the usual ways it was achieved. At a general level, the ideologies underpinning the colonisers’ interactions with indigenous peoples will also be described. A comparison will then be made between the experiences of colonisation for the Aboriginal peoples of Australia and the experiences of colonisation for Torres Strait Islander peoples. In particular, the issue of dispossession from land and/or culture will be analysed, as well the influence of Christianity.
Argument: As a result, it will be argued that Christianity was generally an oppressive force for Aboriginal peoples, whereas for Torres Strait Islanders, Christianity was easily integrated with traditional beliefs.
