British's ethnocentric view of the First Australians end it up with extreme conflict.

The contention that occurred between the British and the aboriginals of Australia were primarily caused by ethnocentric perception between different cultures. The colonists from British and the First Australians are distinguished as two disparate communities that have comparison in lifestyles and cultural values. This comparison originated conflicts which influenced by the British ethnocentric view on the aboriginals. Eventually it caused unnecessary violence, death and warfare between two cultures.

Arising conflicts between aboriginals and British was started from the first confrontation. The aboriginal greeted them as friends and amused them excitements such as dancing. They were more than welcome to be close to each other. It was the first constructive meeting. However, at this point, natives were viewed as savages and as barbarians by British colonists. The first intuition of British to colonize the first Australians was they were artless and clumsy. Shelters, goods and their outfits were fundamentally unlike from British. These settlers believed that only untamed animals would live and behave this way the First Australians are surviving. Following western culture, British thought that it is common thing to colonize or seize other’s land would make their commonwealth stronger. Hence, the leader of British colonists, Phillip, determined to invade aboriginal culture. The British replaced all the native’s crops in to new breeding crops such as potatoes or corn. Damaging indigenous tribe’s food sources and fitting in with their new foods from their homeland, definitely shows how British disregarded the First Australian’s cultivations. They believed educated and polished people would eat and do what they were supposed to under any circumstances.

Actual conflict by British’s ethnocentric manner was the war declared by native’s wrath. The First Australians was enraged how British destroyed their land and nature without thinking of the real owner of this territory. The First Australians had no choice, but to go against the British in order to get back their resources and their lands which they rely on. However, this makes the conflict more intensify. British is being defensive from the natives, and natives were being offensive to get their property back. As a result, they both desires to fight against each other, a war declared. In British perspective, once they got threatened by the First Australians, they’re aiming for putting native’s unsophisticated race in to demolition. British carried out their ungentle manners such as massacring all the natives including children and women in order to eradicate whole lineage of aboriginal.   

The contention that occurred between the British and the aboriginals of Australia were primarily caused by ethnocentric views between different cultures. The British’s ethnocentric views and their actual actions has verified damages the communication between two different cultures, which led to disgrace of being un-gentle. For general, this ethnocentrism would be judged with impartial which can’t be neutral whether British or the First Australians is right. One’s ethnocentrism caused massive pain to one another, and concluded with causing extreme conflict. Ethnocentrism is iniquitous.
