Complete with a one-third model of the Eiffel Tower, the town is an exact replica of a i9th-century French city — one of many miniature European look-alikes residing within China's country lines. Architecture is not the only thing China has been borrowing from other countries. Technology is another big industry that gets remade over and over with Chinese replicates, something companies like Apple haven't been too happy about. While in the United States our initial reactions are shock and appall — since we prize uniqueness and creativity over all things when it comes to design — China looks at it a little differently. To the Chinese, imitation is really the sincerest form of flattery. Not only that, but the challenge of recreating something presents SAVANNAH TURK Ao-E Editor a different trial that could lead to discoveries of better ways to go about making or doing something. While in the United States one would be scorned for making a duplicate, in China the craftsmanship is appreciated and rewarded. Perhaps reinventing the wheel isn't such a bad idea after all. In journalism, copycats pervade the industry. For example, there is plagiarism, which can cross the line of intellectual property truly belonging to the creator. But there is also imitation as flattery. There are writers we read again and again, not just because their subject matter is interesting, but also because we hope to emulate their style, their know-how and their format. There are newspapers and magazines we follow to be inspired — to not only imitate, but also improve upon. The idea of imitation as flattery and inspiration is terribly underrated in the United States' culture. It's something that should not be looked down upon as stealing or a lack of creativity. It should be common practice that gives creators — especially students — a unique challenge rarely explored in our individualistic and proud culture. Imitation is not just reproducing replicas of someone else's work — it's looking at a piece of work through their eyes. It's solving a problem using the tools in the toolbox of those you admire. All around us the ability to problem solve is diminishing as young people fail to learn a new skill at work or find an alternative route that simplifies a task.

Now, I'm not saying everyone in the entire United States is lazy and unable to solve problems. But there is a social and legal taboo around copying that is cutting off an avenue of creativity in favor of individual divine inspiration. When people don't get the spark of genius, they assume they don't have any ideas at all, which stifles learning and progress. Copying and improving existing ideas should not be ignored because of a crazed need for creativity. Although rebuilding a city halfway across the world may seem trivial, it's a learning experience. Perhaps the first step to making a change in stringent copyright laws and the taboo on imitation could start on campus. Don't be shy. Mimic, duplicate, impersonate, copy, replicate and imitate.
