Cancel Culture Edit Summary

[edit]

Part I want to edit:

A poll of American registered voters conducted in July 2020 shows that cancel culture, defined as "the practice of withdrawing support for (or canceling) public figures and companies after they have done or said something considered objectionable or offensive", was common. 40% of respondents said they had withdrawn support from public figures and companies, including on social media, because they had done or said something considered objectionable or offensive, 8% having engaged in this often. Behavior differed according to age, with a majority (55%) of voters 18 to 34 years old saying they have taken part in cancel culture, while only about a third (32%) of voters over 65 said they had joined a social media pile-on. Attitude towards the practice was mixed, with 44% of respondents saying they disapproved of cancel culture, 32% who approved, and 24% who didn't know or had no opinion. Furthermore, 46% believed cancel culture had gone too far, with only 10% thinking it hadn't gone far enough. However, a majority (53%) believed that people should expect social consequences for expressing unpopular opinions in public, especially those that may be construed as deeply offensive to other people.

Social Status Shaming

[edit]

Social status shaming is a form of online shaming that involves making fun of and bullying others online due to their socioeconomic status. [1] This phenomenon is centered around using someones income, social status, health, and influence to subject them certain types of bullying and online criticism. [2] It is often utilized as a vessel for social control among classes, and has been regarded as one of the most effective models in which to examine social status and its influence on controlling those below you. [2] In the digital world we live in, there is a social standard that we all fall into and try our best to achieve. Whether that be being super fit, having a Lamborghini, owning a Mansion, or all of the above, we all are painted this idealistic photo in the online ecosystem. Thus, social status shaming is a form of Social exclusion, where if you aren't as rich as me, then you will be subjected to some form of bullying and criticism so that I shall retain social control.
