Culture is important no matter which culture it is. Canadian culture, Inuit culture, Jewish culture, or Muslim culture, no matter who's culture it is it must be remembered and respected. As long as people remember and respect others cultures i feel that people should be able to be a part of any culture or none if they so please. Personally as an Inuit, Canadian, Jew i take pride in my cultures. i like country foods, Inuit art and story's, i also like maple syrup, toques, and bagels and lox. i don't think that cultures need protection from media influence i think that people need to stop doing stupid things in the name of their culture. A perfect example of this is the Shafia murder trial. Muslims are persecuted based on the actions of extremists and radicals, cultures don't need to be protected from media they need to be protected from idiots. While being proud of a culture is one thing it's the actions of the few that shape the options of many.
This latest blog entry, in particular, is very thoughtful and interesting. Keep writing!
