For the social dimension of the PESTEL Journal, I chose a CBC news article dealing with the problem of cultural appropriation, more specifically in regards to Native Americans.
Cultural appropriation can be defined as “using something of someone else’s without permission”. There have been many recent additions to the issue of modern civilization taking another culture or religion items and reclaiming the original meaning of it, such as portraying them as a fashion statement. The article emphasises on Native American cultural items being used in an unfavorable way that misrepresents the original meaning. Many designers and professionals have been using traditional garments that is viewed as insensitive by the Native American community.
