Prompt: Pop culture has recently become dominated by cultural appropriation, defined as “the adoption of elements of one culture by members of a different cultural group, especially if the adoption is of an oppressed people’s cultural elements by members of the dominant culture” (Yasmim). Critics call out celebrities from Kylie Jenner to Madonna for perpetuating the phenomenon, maintaining that appropriation encourages racist tendencies. Can a culture be stolen? When does cultural appreciation become cultural appropriation? Can cultural appropriation become racism? ****Write a paragraph argument response that effectively defends, qualifies, or refutes this statement:“To appropriate one’s culture is not to embrace it, but to mimic it. It’s making a fashion of someone else’s heritage and religion.” You are to then RESPOND to one classmate. Your response should be very respectful and critical in nature. Your job is to evaluate their position, the quality and variety of evidence that they provide, and if their commentary supports the evidence and is sophisticatedly woven in with the evidence.
