Rich Task - Taking Culture



We have been looking at heritage over the past term, and looking at the fertile question; My heritage, their heritage, our heritage - whose future?

In many instances in the world, one culture can dominate and take over another culture. In some cases in history people have been forced into a culture different than their own, such as Australia's 'Stolen Generation' and even when the Europeans first arrived in New Zealand a lot of them aimed to change the Maori into 'civilised' people by forcing their religions and beliefs onto the Maori.

My question to you is;


Is it right for one culture to be taken over by another?


I look forward to reading your thoughtful comments and please remember to justify your ideas.
