Critical Commentary#1- Western Theories

Western Theories is already part of the world's culture.

Domination is already part of one's culture. It shapes the identity of the one being involved. Actions may not look like domination but one form of it is othering. Those western ideas that was injected to us was the one overpowering our kind. It will always be the concept of  superiors and inferiors. Domination might lead into two ways, the people who are being dominated might resist or somewhat accept the idea. Popular culture and "high art" is gave the people to express themselves by not physcically telling the audience but making the audience think critically. For me, popular culture is the simple one. It does not make me think critically like "high art" does. I appreciate "High art" because I am a 90s kid who appreciate old songs more than the newly released song. I find "high art" more meaningful than popular culture. Both popular culture and "high art" helps people to reflect about themselves and things around them.
