Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
Abstract
The Cambridge Dictionary defines cultural appropriation as "the act of taking or using things from a culture that is not your own, especially without showing that you understand or respect this culture." It is sometimes referred to as cultural misappropriation, and also defined as taking intellectual property, traditional knowledge, cultural expressions, or artifacts from a culture other than one's own, without permission. Supporters of cultural appropriation see it as the only realistic way of developing, spreading and integrating cultures, while critics see it as a means through which dominant cultures "borrow" from the cultures of minority groups.
