You believe in dismantling colonial structures and empowering indigenous communities to achieve social, political, and economic equality.
Decolonization is a political ideology that emerged in the 20th century, primarily after World War II, as a response to the historical process of colonization. It refers to the undoing of colonialism, where a nation establishes and maintains its domination over dependent territories. The ideology of decolonization emphasizes the need for colonized societies to liberate themselves from the economic, political, and social control of colonial powers and regain their independence.
The history of decolonization is deeply intertwined with the history of imperialism and colonialism. The proc…

What does 'cultural identity' mean to you, and why might it be important to preserve it?
@9JGVW3P4mos4MO
Cultural identity is history and thus should be preserved and respected. If we don't the world will just become one homogenous blend with nothing to hold on to and a lot of people will lose their own identities and their sense of self for a more emotionless and less tasteful world.
@9JGVBRT4mos4MO
Cultural identity is what makes Americans American, It could be important to preserve cultural identity because in a mixing pot of cultures the American culture could be wiped away
Cultural identity of the US will change and shift as is natural
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Imagine if cultural exchange flowed equally between all nations; what positive outcomes might result from that balance?
@9HTM6TB5mos5MO

How might your life be different if your ancestors had been colonized?
@9HFTFFF6mos6MO
I might have different opinions on the value of tradition and continuity of the status quo
I feel like I would have been more connected to my roots and my heritage than I am right now.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Do you think decolonization can influence modern art and literature, and in what ways?
@9J48LTJPeace and Freedom 5mos5MO
Shifting Perspectives: Decolonization often challenges dominant narratives and perspectives that have been shaped by colonial powers. This can lead to a reevaluation of historical events, cultural representations, and power dynamics. In art and literature, decolonization can inspire artists and writers to explore alternative viewpoints, give voice to marginalized communities, and challenge traditional artistic and literary canons.
Cultural Revitalization: Decolonization involves reconnecting with and celebrating indigenous cultures and traditions that may have been suppressed during colonial… Read more
@9J48SK45mos5MO
Decolonization can influence modern art and literature in that it can force people and nations to create new things for themselves. It allows for growth and uniqueness in personal art.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
When you think of freedom, how do you see it being affected by historical colonization?
@9HTWRKY5mos5MO
It makes everyone guilty of their ancestors actions, by apologizing too much.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Have you ever felt a strong connection to a place your ancestors were from and what did that feel like?
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
What does the term 'ownership' mean to you in the context of history and cultural artifacts?
Ownership should be given to those who the cultural artifacts originally belonged to.
@9JCWGVZ4mos4MO
To me it means owning property, and slaves used to be considered "property."
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How important is it for indigenous communities to have representation in government and other decision-making bodies?
@9HRRC3Y5mos5MO
My opinion is stay as is. The native populations in the US are US CITIZENS both in the USA and in their tribal communities and reservations, therfore they can run for office and VOTE the same as any other US citizen
@9HRRBS35mos5MO
very; it's not about equality, it's equity. a good place to start can be to stop misrepresenting/whitewashing radical poc revoltionaries.

How can the process of reflecting on one's own cultural biases lead to more respectful intercultural interactions?
@9KTS4TJWomen’s Equality3mos3MO
When we take the time to reflect on our own cultural biases, it helps us to become more aware of our preconceived notions and assumptions about other cultures.
@9KTRYZ5Progressive3mos3MO
By reflecting on our own cultural biases we can then learn to understand why we have then as well as learning to not have them which will then lead to interactions that are unbiased.

How does food tell the story of a culture and have you had an experience where a meal deeply connected you to a heritage?
@9KMPR98 3mos3MO
Yes food is culture. I grew up with southern food and yes, it is a part of my heritage.
@9KMPDZ53mos3MO
food tells the story of culture, through memories and hardships people bonded through food, i am polish so my family bonded over dinner with pierogi, but russians forced a lot of their culture on us when they colonized us and forced us into the eastern bloc
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How would you explain the importance of diversity to someone who doesn't see its value?
@9JL2RYN4mos4MO
I think that diversity allows individuals to experience new cultures and ideas and ways of think from different cultures and backgrounds. I believe having diversity allows for a better space in general.
@9JL22464mos4MO
It's important to have diversity because people have different backgrounds and different cultures and the way they live could be different too. By mixing people with different backgrounds, ethnicity, and cultures make other people respect one another and have an open mind to others ideas.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How might current events reflect past colonial structures, and what can we learn from these patterns?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
In what ways can museums and cultural institutions evolve to better reflect a post-colonial narrative?
@9J46CW75mos5MO
They should give back cultural artifacts from other countries.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
In what ways does colonialism still affect the distribution of resources globally, and how does that impact you?
@9J468XS5mos5MO
it does impact every facet of society but I don't need to hear about it everyday
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
What personal experiences have highlighted the importance of cultural preservation for you?

@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How would you describe the impact of your country's history on your own personal identity?
@9LGDM8D2mos2MO
Everybody was colonizing back then but we are still stuck in the past.
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
What are some ways that indigenous philosophies and worldviews could reshape modern society's approach to sustainability?
@9L62YF52mos2MO
Indigenous worldviews place way more emphasis on nature and the importance of it. This could help curb the environmental damage of industry. Also, indigenous peoples should have their land back.
