Appropriation

     Appropriation is when you take something for your own use without the permission of the owner. It can be seen as "cultural" appropriation in the news and media, but can have many different implications. In art, appropriation can be seen as pre-existing objects being used in a very unedited state. However, this could be seen as a form of plagiarism, as these pre-existing objects can be copyrighted or have trademarks. I think that for it to be plagiarism it has to be on a certain level and be the most uncut way of taking from something that has already been made.
