Culture should not be appropriated because doing so would be extremely disrespectful to its creators. A culture is made up of customs, arts, people, beliefs, and achievements of a particular nation. To take it as your own would be a huge disgraceful move upon the generations of people who established it. Traditions belong to the people of certain cultures plus there is a difference between homage, appreciation, and appropriation. People can create art of a culture and still be publicly respectful to it. It is okay to learn about and be exposed to several different cultures. Appreciation comes from admiration, respect and curiosity while appropriation comes from malice and racism. It is best to learn to be kind and respectful to other people’s cultures.
