The aspect of racism is clearly shown between the Aboriginals and white settlers when Aboriginals for the first time stole Thornhill and later put his corn crops in flames. In response Thornhill launch an attack with conflict shot at one of the aboriginals. At Saggity's property William is invited and when he arrives he meets Saggity carrying a spear near his chest. The aspect of racism comes to display when some of the settlers organized to launch an attack on the aboriginals.
In terms of health, this exposes a serious danger to the health sector or health conditions of the two groups in two ways. The first one is psychological and health wise in general. Talking of the health complications. The residents suffered from infectious diseases or communicable diseases which are transmitted from one party to another either indirectly or directly with the infected individual via unclean or contaminated water or food. Such disease was spread via air when an infected individual sneezes or coughs and the next individual takes in the air that include the germs.
Infectious diseases can be caused by parasites such as malaria, bacteria like tuberculosis, fungi like tines, and viruses such as HIV. The best way to deal with these diseases involves improvement in environment and personal hygiene, antibiotics for bacterial infections, and improvement of vaccines have largely reduced the effect of infectious diseases on people.

Still, in the health sector, there is more concerned about health increment programs, improved cultural competence in terms of the service provider, and speedy identification of health risks before they become worse.
