Cancel Culture
Cancel culture refers to the social phenomenon where individuals or groups are ostracized, boycotted, or publicly shamed, often on social media, for perceived offensive behavior or statements. This practice aims to hold individuals accountable for their actions, but it has sparked debates about free speech, accountability, and the consequences of public discourse. Critics argue that cancel culture can lead to disproportionate punishment and stifle open dialogue, while supporters believe it is a necessary tool for social justice and change. The term gained prominence in the late 2010s.
