Answer to Question 1

Answer: The ideal answer will include:
1. Expressive culture often is related to power relationslocal, regional, or global. Two examples include:
2. Tall buildings such as Duomo in Florence, Italy, and Dubai Tower make statements of power and grandeur.
3. Another example is the palaces and other lavish buildings rulers often inhabit.
4. Another example could be from a context where democratic or egalitarian ideals are professed. A modest display, such as the often-repeated fact that Abraham Lincoln grew up in a log cabin, could communicate that ideal.
5. Museums from colonial contexts often present elements of local culture as novelties or examples of primitivism.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The ideal answer will include:
1. Tourism has many and complex effects on culture.
2. It can help to preserve cultural traditions and also to distort them for the sake of tourist consumers.
3. The hula in Hawai'i is an example of both effects. Thanks to tourist interest, hula has been preserved. But because of tourist preferences for short performances and certain styles, earlier forms of hula have been distorted for tourist consumption.
