Cultural Appropriation and Elements of Culture
The podcast delves into the concept of cultural appropriation and the integrity of cultural elements. While cultures seem distinct, they have always learned from each other. For example, pasta is often associated with Italy, but it originated from China and made its way to Europe. Similarly, tribal cultures have had their elements misappropriated by others without earning or representing the culture, causing discomfort for the indigenous people. The podcast highlights the appropriateness of bringing elements from one culture to another, given proper acknowledgement and authority from the originating culture.
