Every person around the world is influenced by globalization, though to varying degrees, and it causes changes in cultural identities especially for young people. For indigenous youth, the effects of globalization are seen in the complexity and diversity of their cultural identities. The best way to overcome negative impacts is by strengthening indigenous cultures and education. Developing a strong cultural identity involves embracing indigenous beliefs and practices, and fostering positive self-identity for indigenous students as both indigenous people and as students. Schools should include indigenous studies and perspectives in their curriculum to support positive self-efficacy and connection to school and society for indigenous students.

Conclusion

Every single young individual in every single region of the world are influenced by globalisation;
almost all of them are conscious, although to differing levels, of a global culture that is real and is
beyond their local culture. The crucial psychological after-effect of globalization is that it causes
changes in identities and these identity problems have long been observed as crucial to the growth of
young adolescents (Arnett 2002). The changes of globalisation are fairly obvious in the complexity
and diversity of cultural identity enhancements in Indigenous adolescents and youth. Reinforcing
young Indigenous people culturally and educationally is the best effectual and helpful means to
overcome the adverse effects the cultural Globalization. Developing a cultural identity encompasses
embracing the beliefs and practices of Indigenous cultural communities (Jensen 2003) and cultivating
a positive self-identity for Indigenous students’ means that they need to develop positive conceptions
of the multiple dimensions of themselves, particularly as Indigenous Australians and as students.
Therefore, the suggestion is that while most Indigenous students have great self-efficacy viewpoints
about their capabilities, more consideration require in-order to support them to improve deeper self-
efficacy beliefs about their abilities. Research identifies that school culture is imperative in creating a
setting where Aboriginal culture is not only recognized but commemorated (Purdie et.al. 2000). When
young individuals have positive perceptions of themselves both as Indigenous people and as
students, connection and commitment to school and society, and effective school performance will be
more likely to occur than when there are unnecessary conflicts or pressures between the different
aspects of self (Purdie et.al. 2000). This means that every school should include Aboriginal studies in
their curriculum and should teach Aboriginal perspectives irrespective of the number of Aboriginal
students. Learning about Indigenous cultures allow students to accept the past as it is; place
responsibility to those who committed the crimes; take responsibility to learn about it and be informed;
develop empathy for the pain and trauma most Aboriginal people have been through and still carry
today; open our minds and hearts to reach out, be curious, willing to hear their side; and extend our
hands in reconciliation as we realize we are all responsible for shaping and living our future.
Generating a positive sensitivity towards Indigenous Australians would certainly benefit to build a
civilization we all would be proud to be a part of.
