So, we just learned about Diwali – a popular festivity celebrated by Indian people around the world! We learned about 2 Hindu deities, Rama and Sita, and the demon Ravana who abducted Sita.<\/p>\n

But it seems as though many people are not aware of Hindu Gods and Goddesses. Why do I say that? Well the notorious Cardi B has committed the ultimate blunder. Remember how I said that there are several Gods and Goddesses in the Hindu religion? Well there is a Goddess named Durga. She symbolises positive energy, especially a powerful feminine energy that is used to combat negative forces. (Meaning she is a powerful Goddess – a powerful woman who wields a lot of strength and valour.) She protects her devotees from evil and demons. Durga is the goddess in the two pictures below.<\/p>\n

Now that we know a little about Durga, we can get back to Cardi B. Last week she modelled \/ advertised for Reebok shoes and clearly looked like… none other than Durga. This is also known as a little thing called Cultural Appropriation. What is cultural appropriation? Cultural appropriation is when a culture (or person\/group) take another culture or religious elements \/ ‘thing’s,’ like: ideas, icons, symbols, artifacts, images, art, behaviour, music, styles, rituals, etc. are taken from a culture (and generally misused).<\/p>\n

Please answer the following questions below. Your post should be roughly 15-20 sentences.<\/p>\n

1.So what do you think about what you saw?<\/p>\n

2. Do you think that Cardi B is genuine in her apology or is it because she received so much backlash because of it? Who do you think is at fault for this- Reebok? Cardi ? The advertising teams?<\/p>\n

3. How is this advertisement a form of cultural appropriation?<\/p>\n

4. Given what has been happening in society today with BLM and other racist\/prejudiced events being discussed, do you think that celebrities should pay more attention to what they put out in the world as they can be role models?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
