Cultural Appropriation Consideration
From Good Radio Shows, Inc. | Part of the Peace Talks Radio: Weekly Hour Long Episodes series | 59:00
On this edition of PEACE TALKS RADIO, we’ll explore the challenges surrounding conflicts around cultural appropriation. Cultural appropriation involves adopting elements from a culture or identity that’s not your own in a way that may be harmful, stereotypical, or exploitative. The lines are harder to draw between cultural appropriation and appreciation. The world is a global village and cultures are constantly interacting, borrowing, remixing, and evolving. However, in case of appropriation there usually is a one-way transfer, in terms of pleasure, or income and opportunity— sometimes irking the other side. So how do we learn about and enjoy other cultures without appropriating them? When are we truly simply showing appreciation of something tied deeply to another culture? Correspondent Yamini Ranjan explores multiple examples of cultural appropriation with three guests who offer insights on how we can find peace & joy when we are interacting with traditions that don’t come from our own lived experience and heritage.

What do you think of when you think of abusive relationships? Probably adults, married, right? We often overlook the age group that is perhaps most susceptible and underprepared to handle domestic abuse—teens. According to iloverespect.org, only 33% of teens in abusive relationships tell someone about it. At an age when they are only beginning to find out about dating and about, really, themselves, teens can get caught like a deer in the headlight when faced with abuse. That is why taking this problem head-on we need to equip teenagers with the adequate knowledge and emotional skills at an early age.
On this edition of Peace Talks Radio, we go in-depth to understand the psychology of abuse and break-up violence, the precedence set by media about relationships, and the programs that can help alleviate the problem. Yamini Ranjan talks with three experts including Dr. Malcolm Astley, a father and educator who lost his daughter to break-up violence, Jessica Teperow, Director of Prevention programs at REACH MA, and Nicole Daley, the Director of the Division of Violence and Injury Prevention at the MA Department of Public Health.
