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.

Quar Culture

The recent, emerging and growing (mostly virtual) culture enervated out of the safety precautions and societal changes resulting from the SARS-COV2/COvID-19/coronavirus pandemic . Examples of this culture include the exponential increase in Zoom communications, WFH (Work From Home) experiences, quarantining (as recommended by the CDC for 14 consecutive days after possible exposure to a person with COVID-19 or anyone outside of the household you live with who may be an asymptomatic carrier able to infect you. Tik-Tok and virtual/in-person hybrid schooling and masking up, staying 6 feet apart, etc... these are all parts of Quar Culture. It is out of this Quar Culture that our future zeitgeist will emerge, but forever with the foundational influence of this world-changing pandemic.

Everything we do is for a purpose. We are trying to show examples of what a leader looks like. Also some slogans for “Changing the Culture “ are I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, in style we trust, in hoop we trust, and in sneakers we trust.

Changing the culture is a aspect of the way we live.
