	Artifact Reflection
		Teachers cannot be visitors to cultures anymore; they need to find specific and symbolic meaning in all the cultures within their classroom.
		Children’s knowledge of a culture should not be limited to those holidays, and celebrations that receive notoriety, but should encompass a tolerance and understanding that will enable them to look past differences to find the similarities of man.
		Since cultural diversity is not a typical topic in standards the teacher needs to decide what personate information relates to the standards and incorporates them into her/his lesson plans.

	REFLECTIONS ON THE MODERN FOLK PROCESS — Katherine Macdonald — April 25 2005
		It is a culture that "assumes that cultural value originates from the original contributions of individual authors" (40) — it is a mode of thinking that, like the previous realizations of legitimacy issues, may be inescapable.
		In other words, by feeding into our culture’s legitimacy issues, the author of a reversion can be said to be upholding and supporting the same system that previously led to his or her feelings of illegitimacy in the first place.
		Artifacts from other sets are also utilized, whether known or unknown, but for a product to be part of the reclamation set it must exceed the copyright limitations of an artifact — in other words, products which violate fair use laws, or products that use artifacts without permission from the copyright owners.

	Review 3
		The central tenet of cultural analysis is that no text can be understood wrenched from its organic environment; the text must be juxtaposed to the primordial culture which generates and sustains it and to the culture of the critic who strives to understand the text.
		Cultural studies censors the methodology of conventional literary criticism, which refuses to reflect upon its own situatedness in the present and thus refuses to participate in a dialogue between the ideologies of the present and the ideologies that produced the viewed object.
		As a result of cultural studies' privileging objects which had been ignored traditionally by the established university and academic departments, cultural studies is perceived as championing the rights and dignity of the Other (female, gay, non-white, low culture, environmental, etc.) and as promulgating a political agenda of recognition and empowerment.
