A prime example of this is when Angelina Jolie visited Pakistan she learnt about

The Dichotomy of Cultural Appropriation | Womanist Musings Wednesday‚ September 12‚ 2012 Cultural appropriation is the ultimate dichotomy.

The oppressors strip these people of their rights‚ their dignity‚ and often‚ their culture. At the same time‚ this isn’t good enough for the conquerors. The culture that these people have created and the fruits of their labor are

An appropriation is a text that is appropriated or remade by a composer and presented in a new way. Appropriation is defined as the means to change a text for a particular purpose or for a type of people. It is about taking the essence of a text and changing it for another use. The two texts that I will be analysing are Shakepeare’s Romeo and Juliet and Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo and Juliet 1996 film adaption.
