Initiation
  • Initiation brings young people into the adult community.
  • Young men and women participated in separate ceremonies.
  • PUBERTY INITIATION:
    • The initiated person learns sacred stories and traditions of the group
    • The initiated person is taught the cultural values of the group
I did a quick search and found this ^^^ on some SOR syllabus site http://mrachmar.com/sor11/aboriginalspirituality.html and thats why I think that it is (A) for question 4

Why would it be 'A'? Continuation of law is not Religion. Perhaps if it were a legal studies exam?

B is right as a matter of default.

Oh, it said continuation of the current Australian legal system, did it?

Can you read?
Note the sarcasm...

Does it specify any particular law? No. Therefore it could be interpreted as Aboriginal Law. Which is the way that I, and most others who selected A, interpreted the question.

lol LAW has been referred by ABORIGINAL PEOPLE as a description for their faith which is the dreaming...the DREAMING is the LAW as it embodies all things! those who see it as merely part of a legal system need to stop looking at things so narrowly!

Well I put B, but now I'm not 100% sure.

But still, it's only 1 mark, not tooo much to worry about either way.
