Perth Aborigines are not seen in churches because many of them have been made to feel they are alie s.

In Geraldton, Bishop Hickey says some Abor"gines have stopped going to Mass because of unfriendly messages and overtly hostile comments by many church people.

The Perth Aboriginal Counci

says in a letter for A riginal Sunday: "Often we exp rience peo le loo ing down on us; al ing o us; long way away from us a to avoid touching us at the sign of peace.

ODD "The looks we get without anything being said make us fe I

uneasy.

'There is oo little support and too much opposition to jusfce for Aborigines amo gst catholic people.

I was a stranger and you made me welcome; naked and you clothed me; sick and you visited me, in prison and you came to see me.

Aborigines are the most criminal race in the world. o sane person would accept that statement. Nor would anyone agree that Northern Territory citizens are 10 times more criminal than those of Canberra. Yet statisics suggest at a poor Abo "gine from the Territory, if co victed of a cri e, wou d ave at least a 1000 per ce t more cha ce of being jailed than someo e in court e sewhere in the country.

Professiona Richard Harding, the Director of the Australian Institute of Crimino ogy, said in March this year: Aboriginal Australians are the most imprisoned indigenous people in the free world ... the results of a census of jails in June, 1985 were 'staggering' . . . the national rate of imprisonment among 18 to 24-year-old Aborigines were more than five per cent, comp red with a rate ofjust over half of one per cent for the Australian population as a whole. What an abomination this is. We cannot believe that Aborigines, as well as being the most imprisoned ethnic group in the free world, are /so the most wiclced. n Western Australia today Abo · i co prise around a third of the dutt male prison t ey are more population.

In an age of TV communications, the world grows smaller. The afflicted people in Ethiopia seem doser; a war in Asia does not seem far away.

The TV viewer's understanding of the world and of his or her place in it is somewhat altered.

This week we continue our exploration of issues in

media awareness, examining television and movies, and their impact on people today.

Cindy Uebhart, NC's media reporter, notes that the TV cameras seem to be everywhere, allowing viewers to watch the unfolding dramas as they occur in real people's lives.

This can have advantages

and disadvantages. But the immediacy of so many images is part of television's uniqueness.

Katharine Bird, associate editor of the NC Religious Education Package, discusses current films and TV programs that introduce viewers to other cultures. The writer says she likes to hope that this

kind of programming not only will contnbute to making the world seem smaller, but that it will help shape a world of greater unity and interdependence.

Dolores Leckey, executive director of the US bishops' Laity Secretariat, writes from an educator's point of view about the power of

tele;siotJ as an educational faro. No doubt about it, tele;siotJ does inform peOfe. But to change peote's behaviour in lastJg ways - a key conem of the educator the,ewer must be taken intoVJnsideration in 5P&al ways, she thinks.

M1t.ecl<ey suggests that the iewer cannot be

considered incidental if truly educational television is to succeed.

And Father John Caste/at writes of the communications world in biblical days. Contrary to what some people may think, he said, people in biblical times had considerable reading material

The whole • • universe 1s shrinking rapidly...

The mysterlou5 world of India, the andent, rich culture of Japan, the fa5dnatlng sapofRmsla- all are brought within reach of the average person for the price of a movie ticket or the twlsl of a lV switch.

Two recent blockbuster media events, the movie "A Paasage to Jndla"andthe 14-wedt lV Sttin 1'heJewel In the Crown", offered

Ben Kingsley. in the title role of the award-winning film ""Glllldhr. portrayed one of the great men of peace of this century. The film hBVe sparlced interest in another film, ··passage to India··. and• telewsions series. "7he Jewel in the crown". which. like ""Gandhr. offer«J intriguing glimpses into life and culture in India little known to many Westerners. Television II/Id movies offer graphic evidence on a regular basis that the world is shrinking and that its people are growing increasingly interdependent.

Katharine Bird Intriguing glimpses Into Indian Ille and culture along with lush views of a country Uttle known to many Westemen.

Both the movie and the lV Sttin explored the natuff of the rela· tlooshlp between the Brlthh, the mlnorlty but nillng class, and the people of lndla, the majority but ruled race. The fictional accounts provided vlc,vcn further u.ns.et·
