Cultural dominance, cultural imperialism-> convince people their music should shift. > been talking about a lot recently, not talked about in asia appropriation -ex.

This removal from the original context disempowers those who feel ownership of the original culture . However, when the culture that is being appropriated is more powerful than the appropriators culture, this tends to be called assimilation and is usually a desirable outcome from the perspective of the source culture. Racialization -attitudes towards race perpetrated by the korean media. Reason-korea is a pretty isolated society until quite recently. Foreign culture-> 40,000 foreigners living in korea, now 2 million. Because of foreigners: they can tell the world about what"s happening in korea.
