POINT of this assignment: We will learn MORE about cultural appropriation through your own examples and discussions of it, and by comparing Hatala Matthes' view of it to the definitions and examples we've already covered.
Your explanation and view of Hatala Matthes' explanation of when cultural appropriation is morally objectionable and/or how it is harmful (in his paragraph 2 ), and perhaps how this point is different from/similar to/better than/etc. any of the others we've looked at (e.g. hooks, Cambridge, Oxford, etc.)--can involve examples but doesn't have to; or
Your explanation and view of Loretta' Todd's definition of cultural appropriation (Hatala Matthes paragraph 4), and perhaps how it's different from/similar to/better than/etc. any of the other views we've looked at (e.g. hooks, Cambridge, Oxford, etc.)--can involve examples, but doesn't have to; or
An example of cultural appropriation that supports Hatala Matthes' view (that even though Nicki Minaj is a member of an oppressed group “Chun-Li” is still cultural appropriation), and a short explanation of why you think your example is similar to Minaj's “Chun-Li” in Hatala Matthes' view; or
An example that disagrees with Hatala Matthes' view, and a short explanation of why you think your example, of something that seems to be cultural appropriation between two oppressed groups, is actually not cultural appropriation--this can but doesn't have to be an example of cultural appreciation, collaboration, etc.
