Cancel Culture Controversy: Sister Wives & Beyond
This episode dives into the concept of cancel culture and how it plays out in reality TV and beyond. We'll use the show Sister Wives as a springboard for a larger discussion about holding people accountable vs. stifling free speech.

Sister Wives Drama
We'll start by examining the Brown family and the controversies surrounding their polygamous lifestyle.  We'll explore viewer opinions on:

• Polygamy itself
• Alleged favoritism by Kody towards his last wife Robyn
• Family tension caused by Kody's strict COVID rules
• Shifting focus of the show, from exploring polygamy to internal conflicts

Cancel Culture Conversation
Then, we'll broaden the conversation to the phenomenon of cancel culture. Here are some questions we'll pose:

• Does cancel culture promote accountability or silence diverse voices?
• Are there situations where it's justified? If so, what are they?
• How does the severity of the offense and the reach of social media influence cancel culture?
• Should there be a chance for redemption after being cancelled?
• What role do we have in navigating these discussions online?

Here is a great youtube video, that really hits home!
