According to uslegal.com, cultural rights are human rights that guarantee people and communities the freedom to access and participate in the culture of their choice. Cultural rights are the rights that are vested in groups of people in relation to their art and culture. It means the right to preserve and develop one’s cultural identity, as well as the right to protect endangered cultures. The USA don't look like their best advocates, with Disney, Pixar & co. Cultural imperialism (though one might argue about the cultural qualification) seems as destructive toward indigenous cultures as deforestation. It certainly takes advantage of fashion, conformism, and ignorance.
And, after all, what is a fashion? From the artistic point of view, it is usually a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months (Oscar Wilde).
Wouldn't you like to show your kids some fresh, tender, clever, stories with no by-products?
Have a look...
