The Culture Game

A game of social acceptance amongst piers, primarily played by middle aged mothers. The game involves; Performing activities simply to brag about them to other mothers, trying to create a false image of a perfect family to the outside world and pretending to care about certain socially acceptable things.

An example of a mother playing "The Culture Game" is when she drags her family to a museum, that she has no interest in, only to brag about it to her friends and tell them how "insightful" and "refreshing" it was. Another example is when a mother forces her children to attend a gathering even if the children have no connection to the people who will be at the gathering, simply to uphold the image of the perfect family.

The Culture Game comes from a place of longing for social acceptance and fear of rejection. The middle aged mothers are scared of being honest and truthful with their piers, scared to admit fault, disinterest and show weakness, which results in them dragging their families through the mud to keep up the facade.

"Yeah, she doesn't even like wine, but I guess her pride is more important than her taste.."

Cultural Appropriation

A social construction by sociologists involving an unenforceable non-legally binding property right that doesn't actually exist which infringes on a person's right to extract facts from the public domain in the creation of their own intellectual property.
By creating a work of art, which is your property, which uses the language I natively speak, you are engaging in cultural appropriation, even though you can't copyright a natural language or dialect.
