Cancel Culture

Given the prevalence of cancel culture in contemporary society, this documentary presented some interesting arguments. in the notion that expressing one's views can be empowering and can help those who have been silenced to rediscover their voices. Individuals in positions of authority are often placed on a pedestal and serve as role models, especially for impressionable young people, so it's crucial to condemn their harmful actions. One of the speakers mentioned the concept of "expecting too much from people at any given time," a topic on which I held mixed opinions. I do believe that if people demonstrate a willingness to learn and grow from their mistakes, it can sometimes be commendable, depending on the gravity of their actions. However, when it involves individuals in power infringing upon the human rights of minority groups and taking actions to make their existence uncomfortable it is an error that should not be overlooked.
