The reading is about the east and the west specifically the Orient and the Western. The Orient is the
western view on east culture such as fashion and food and how westerners have come to
commercialize eastern culture making it a trend in the west. In doing so, traditional eastern culture
has been booming on social media and people are starting to participate because it is trending
ignoring its traditional cultural values. One can argue that by doing so that it undermines the
eastern culture and is offensive. Others can argue that in doing so, it makes eastern culture apparent
and alive if it currently dying out. Whether or not it is appropriate to do so depends on the
perspective and situation, but popular culture constantly changing. If indo-chic is popular now then it
may not be another day.
