Gs2- IR- Rights of indigenous people
Gs4- Ethics- How small gestures can shape attitudes and send global level messages?
Why is this news important?
⚠️NOTE : The United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) was adopted by the General Assembly on Thursday, 13 September 2007, by a majority of 144 states in favour, 4 votes against (Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United States)
BUT The Australian Government announced its support for the Declaration in 2009
SO this is a great symbolic gesture

✅Gs-4 : Ethics : Attitude- The power of a habit- This is helpful in answering questions on professional ethics
🔴Often Excellence is considered as the highest value of professional ethos.
🎖People who advocate and practice excellence become successful because of their desire, people generally go for what they like, so how much someone wants something is up to him or her.
🔴It is the obsession that pushes them to pursue excellence aided by a strong character that gets them the results they crave for- This comes from doing a thing out of habit- which again is because of our obsession to do it
