Topic: Cultural Appropriation

Most simply, the “borrowing” of elements from one culture by another; this can be as benign as appreciative cultural-exchange when admired elements are adopted, transformed, or fused into new things (which might be inevitable wherever there is free artistic expression) or as negative as disrespectful misrepresentation or exploitation if the original contexts or wishes of the “owners” are violated, or even as outright theft if their approval is not obtained.
