1. Have your presentation worked on a lot-will be due 3/14
Presentation Must Include-
Organization of your NGO or project including: misión statement, what you hope to achieve and why it is important (include in-text citations), how your project will help the issue you chose and how it relates to the Sustainable Development Goal you selected, group leadership roles, organizational structure or flow chart, rough draft timeline of when you want to hit milestones in your project and when it will be completed, a SMART Goals analysis, and an outline of what the final project will look like.
Please have this down on a project planning paper to be turned in. You will also want to prepare a short, three minute "pitch" for your group to convince them that they should select each project.
For the presentation itself, you must bring some sort of visual aid. Please make a poster (not a Prezi- we will save those for the final projects). We will share these posters with our groups.
2. Read one of thesearticles and comment: https://everydayfeminism.com/2015/06/cultural-appropriation-wrong/ OR https://www.alternet.org/culture/cultural-appropriation-pho-lionel-shriver-jamie-oliver-marc-jacobs OR https://www.theguardian.com/books/2016/sep/15/we-need-to-talk-about-cultural-appropriation-why-lionel-shrivers-speech-touched-a-nerve
3. Find (a famous person) or interview a person you know that does good work. Tell us a Little bit about their personal history. How has this person been effective? Who is this person? Why are they (or were they) an effective advocate? What are their main achievements? What was their main achievemet in life or what are they working on now? What was their impact.
Make a small (8 x 11, Printer Paper) Poster about this and prepare a presentation (1 minute) elevator pitch to share with your classmates. We will do a gallery walk in class and present next week.

I read the one of everydayfeminist and what I understood is that cultural appropiation is to take things form someone else's culture whenever this culture is being marginalized or something similar. But that's kind of unfair as I cannot wear a traditional Senegal dress but can they wear a flamenco dress? I just think that you shouldn't take, do, wear things from other cultures because even if you do it with a good intention people will never know
ReplyDeleteI choosed https://everydayfeminism.com/2015/06/cultural-appropriation-wrong/: cultural exchange (the shearing of culture and cultural aprotiaton are very different from each other, as well as assimilation (people adapt to the culture they are living in) and cultural appropriation. But the context in which cultural exchange and assimilation are done can modify the situation, and if it is cultural appropriation or not.

I chose https://www.alternet.org/culture/cultural-appropriation-pho-lionel-shriver-jamie-oliver-marc-jacobs and I am beginning to understand Cultural Appropriation better, but as Irene Aruej said, I think sometimes it's unfair, and you'll never know the intentions someone has. What happens with artists that like other cultures? Even though I don't completely understand, I believe that if a discriminated group tells me it's offended by me (as a white woman) doing something, I should stop doing it, as I want to help.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand the rest of the homework very well. What is for the 7th and what is for the 14th of March? What do we do on a paper and what do we do on the blog? And what kind of visual aid?

ReplyDeleteI have learned about this article what Cultural Appropriation is and that you can make things without hurting anyone and suddenly you find that a costume can be cultural appropriation or you can hurt someone without knowing it. Sometimes before wearing something that is not from your country or traditional from it you have to think how is that going to hurt or ofense other people as cultural appropriation is when you take to your own some aspects that don't belong to your culture.

ReplyDeleteI think that cultural appropriation can be harmful to societies. Wearing a garment or dancing typical things of the place are those that are most noticeable but there are more that are not noticed so much and that they are in front of us. What would be the solution? The solution would be not to identify a place by its clothes but to understand that place. For ejample, If you’re going to write from someone else’s perspective, it’s important to avoid stereotypes.

I chose everydayfemism. I think that cultural appropriation is when you take something from a marginalized culture without knowing the origin. For many cultures there are certain things that have key meanings. If you just wear something because you like it, you can offend other people, as you are an ignorant from the real meaning of that piece of cuture You need to respect and support the society from which you are taking things from. If you don´t respect them and if you don´t even know the origin or the meaning of the piece you are wearing, then, that´s cultural appropriation.
