Introduction

Culture
In this theme we are looking at Culture.
Maybe you are wondering what this is going to be about? Will this be about films and books? Well, no. There are so many issues connected to culture and we’ve chosen some that we hope you maybe haven’t yet considered.

What are you going to do?
So we start off with cultural appropriation. It was big in the news a couple of years ago, and still makes headlines. We look at that and you’ll be asked to give your opinion.
Then with that in mind we move to what is culture? If it’s more than just visiting a museum on a Sunday afternoon, or a Native American headdress, well what is it?
Then we look at a couple of examples of modern day culture.
We look at conspiracy theories and who believes them (maybe you do, and that’s fine!)
and we look then at an art form that in recent years has become very popular: getting a tattoo.

So a varied and broad ranch of topics all under the multi-coloured umbrella of culture.

What about you?
What do you think does culture mean? Does it mean the same thing to everyone?
Are there different meanings of the word, and if so, what are they?
