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.
