, QUESTION 1
1.1. Cancel Culture refers to the mass withdrawals of support from public figures
or celebrities who have done things that are not socially accepted today.
Cancelling popular culture has increased feelings of anxiety and depression.
Research shows that abruptly stopping a culture can have far-reaching positive
effects, and that doing so can educate us that it is important to stop supporting
someone if they have been behaving.
1.2. The word ‘weaponised’ suggests that the term ‘’cancel culture’ has been used
as a tool or weapon by various groups to attack or discredit others. It implies that
the term has been exploited for political or ideological purposes, possibly to
silence or undermine opposing viewpoints.
1.3. An intolerant minority of politically motivated campaigners are trying to shut
down debates and cancel the views of people they disagree with, and their voice
is getting louder because of the platform they are being given by the mainstream
media and big corporations.
1.4. Headline C implies that cancel culture shares similarities with traditional
disciplinary practices used by religious institutions, particularly the concept of
excommunication or shunning. The intended meaning is likely to draw parallels
between the public condemnation and ostracization that can occur in cancel
culture and the historical practices of religious communities enforcing discipline
within their ranks.
1.5. The culture of denigrating protesters or participants in cancel culture through
classism or privilege has made it increasingly difficult to genuinely make a
change.
