Check Your Understanding

Use the cultural appropriation and cultural appreciation continuum, along with their definitions below to support your thinking about how to move beyond using cultural symbols in isolation and instead help students develop a respectful understanding of the traditions behind them. 

  • Cultural Appropriation: the uninformed use of cultural elements without permission or acknowledgement, leading to disrespect and stereotypes. 
  • Cultural Appreciation: respectful, informed engagement with cultural elements, often with input or approval from the culture's members. 

Check your understanding with a short quiz that includes real-world examples.
