Teens Chime in on Cancel Culture - S4 E15
Cancel culture = a phrase that refers to a form of ostracism in which a person-- generally a public figure-- endures disapproval and mass shaming online or in person for controversial speech or behavior.
This week's hosts, Connor and Sparsh, invite classmates Oliver and Salil in to talk about cancel culture, what that means, and its influence on society. The 8th graders discuss what socially-unacceptable means in our current era, racism/sexism and other prejudiced speech, second chances in life, examples of offensive behavior, pointing out wrongdoing vs. public shaming, defamation, rehashing old mistakes, internet apologies, experiencing "cancelling" in a school setting, and more.
