Intercultural understanding

In this subject, students extend and apply their intercultural understanding capability by, for example:

• considering the different beliefs and values of a range of groups across cultures and nations
• developing an understanding of how successful legal systems reflect these beliefs and values, and reflecting on the extent to which the Australian legal system achieves this imperative
• investigating and analysing the purpose of law and their impact on different peoples
• understanding that culture frames perspectives on justice, rights, and responsibilities
• considering the history of the Australian legal system and its impact on society
• considering contemporary influences on the Australian legal system and the resulting impact on society
• developing an understanding of the influence of international law on local communities
• acknowledging and applying understanding of cultures, narratives, and achievements as told by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
• understanding law and lore and what this means for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
• evaluating the success or otherwise of changes in law.
