Cultural appropriation is one
of the primary social issues affecting society. While some view this act as
disrespect and exploitation, others view it as a natural process that
significantly contributes to history. These converging views have led to
various chaotic debates that have often left those undertaking this act at the
mercy of societal harassment and criticism. However, Frum's article "Every
Culture Appropriates" highlights cultural appropriation's complexity and
multifaceted nature, showcasing its significance. Therefore, this article
utilizes shared values, historical context, false dilemma, and hasty
generalization fallacy to present arguments on the biased critique of this
appropriation that mitigates its complexity and contribution of the critique to
the misrepresentation of cultural practices.
