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.
