1. Do you think that the examples in the slideshow of Black women relaxing and straightening their hair to look "more professional" are an example of cultural imperialism where western and white culture has been forced on black people, or do you think it is a natural blending or sharing of culture? Why? 2. Do you think that the examples in the slideshow of customs in Japanese business culture are an example of cultural imperialism where Western culture has been forced on Japanese businesspeople, or do you think it is a natural blending and sharing of culture? Why?
3. Do you think cultures who have been accused of cultural imperialism (for example, American culture spreading through music and television) should do something differently? Why or why not? If you agree that dominant cultures should do something differently, explain one of your ideas on how powerful cultures could share their artifacts in a better way.
