Hello and welcome to my presentation on cancel culture and
- 00:06 - 00:07
Class of
- 00:07 - 00:11
intro to interdisciplinary studies to bring 2022.
- 00:11 - 00:15
I wanted to choose cancel culture because I thought it was
- 00:16 - 00:20
a big topic that a lot of people my age can
- 00:21 - 00:23
they can
- 00:23 - 00:26
relate to. Um It's a big thing that
- 00:26 - 00:29
Um we were all part of during 2020 when you
- 00:29 - 00:31
know we're we're all on our phones during 2020,
- 00:31 - 00:33
we could see everything that was happening.
- 00:34 - 00:34
Um
- 00:36 - 00:39
So it's easy to come across cancer culture because it
- 00:39 - 00:42
was being talked around for a lot and cancel culture.
- 00:42 - 00:45
People think that cancel culture is a new thing that came around.
- 00:45 - 00:48
Um Like I did but after doing some more research is
- 00:48 - 00:50
actually gone away
- 00:51 - 00:54
back then we think of maybe all the way back to
- 00:54 - 01:00
the times of jesus christ um Galileo Socrates. All these people who are
- 01:01 - 01:05
socially unacceptable or did socially unacceptable acts
- 01:05 - 01:08
or said things that were socially unacceptable.
- 01:08 - 01:09
Um
- 01:10 - 01:13
but before I go into that I wanted to talk about what
- 01:13 - 01:17
actually is cancer culture because there's a lot of definitions that people
- 01:17 - 01:18
um
- 01:19 - 01:20
if you conform to
- 01:20 - 01:22
um this is definition I found
- 01:23 - 01:29
it says to dismiss somebody or something um to reject an idea or an individual.
- 01:29 - 01:30
I would also add on
- 01:30 - 01:32
reject an idea based on
- 01:33 - 01:34
what is socially acceptable.
- 01:35 - 01:40
Um There's an example there that says kate says I love donuts uses a bun to my burger
- 01:40 - 01:41
and
- 01:41 - 01:43
the other person says you're you're canceled.
- 01:44 - 01:50
I think that's because um when I say socially acceptable because in society
- 01:50 - 01:53
we want to use a donut as a bun to a burger,
- 01:53 - 01:53
but
- 01:54 - 01:57
example people do and she was cancer for it.
- 01:57 - 02:02
Which is like a very light small example of what kinds of culture actually is.
- 02:04 - 02:09
I will show the president was so snippet of this video right now.
- 02:15 - 02:16
All right,
- 02:18 - 02:19
So
- 02:20 - 02:23
here you can see there's a meme on the bottom
- 02:24 - 02:24
um
- 02:25 - 02:28
the bottom left over there says, I love a good career ending scandal.
- 02:28 - 02:32
And this is a big thing that happened for um
- 02:32 - 02:36
cancel culture because a lot of it was career ending.
- 02:36 - 02:40
And a lot of things that comes to my mind is um Tiktok
- 02:40 - 02:43
Tiktok creators were canceled. Even the Tiktok is not big things. So they weren't,
- 02:43 - 02:45
people weren't really worried about that stuff.
- 02:46 - 02:46
Um
- 02:48 - 02:52
but as you can see being canceled can be career ending. And
- 02:54 - 02:55
um
- 02:56 - 02:59
and we can see how like it can be really controversial because
- 02:59 - 03:02
a lot of people have because these people who have careers,
- 03:02 - 03:03
they have fans of course,
- 03:03 - 03:07
and these people obviously don't want their idols to be canceled.
- 03:07 - 03:09
Um
- 03:09 - 03:13
He saw top right says um Ariana grande is canceled
- 03:14 - 03:16
um and they cuss her out.
- 03:17 - 03:22
Um that was back in 2019 when she had some scandals going on right over there.
- 03:22 - 03:24
Um around her album.
- 03:25 - 03:26
Um
- 03:27 - 03:32
And on the right, you can see it kind of goes back to the old testament.
- 03:32 - 03:34
That's what I want to talk about when it goes back
- 03:35 - 03:37
in history to
- 03:38 - 03:39
the olden times.
- 03:40 - 03:42
Um, as you can see, it says the entire old testament,
- 03:42 - 03:47
God canceling people because they didn't do what God wanted and that was a big thing.
- 03:47 - 03:51
So you could say a lot of people got canceled um, back in the
- 03:52 - 03:53
time of Bc
- 03:54 - 03:56
before christ, even after christ,
- 03:57 - 03:58
jesus was canceled
- 03:59 - 04:04
multiple times and on an extreme level where he was almost, he was pretty much killed
- 04:04 - 04:09
um for saying things and doing things that people did not see as
- 04:10 - 04:12
socially acceptable or correct.
- 04:12 - 04:13
Um,
- 04:14 - 04:17
another big one was So Socrates.
- 04:17 - 04:20
Um, Socrates was a greek philosopher
- 04:21 - 04:25
and a lot of his morals and the love is ethical.
- 04:25 - 04:26
Um,
- 04:27 - 04:29
philosophies were
- 04:29 - 04:32
canceled by a lot of people and they didn't
- 04:33 - 04:33
um,
- 04:34 - 04:37
they didn't want him around the Children and they
- 04:37 - 04:39
don't want him around anyone to teach them.
- 04:39 - 04:44
He was arrested on house arrest multiple times. Same thing for Galileo.
- 04:44 - 04:49
All these scientists that actually end up these three people
- 04:49 - 04:52
who end up being one of the most influential people
- 04:52 - 04:54
In 20, in the 21st century today
- 04:55 - 04:56
were canceled.
- 04:56 - 04:59
Um, back then by society.
- 05:03 - 05:05
So if there's a few more examples of
- 05:06 - 05:08
people, celebrities got canceled
- 05:08 - 05:11
on the left is Demi lavado.
- 05:11 - 05:16
On the right is Selena Gomez in the middle of Selena Gomez and the right is R kelly.
- 05:16 - 05:18
Um, so
- 05:18 - 05:20
when we're talking about interdisciplinary stories,
- 05:20 - 05:21
we can see that there's a lot of,
- 05:22 - 05:25
especially in council coaches, there's a lot of ways that
- 05:26 - 05:28
people go about cancer culture,
- 05:28 - 05:30
some people will be completely forward and
- 05:30 - 05:32
some people will be completely against it.
- 05:32 - 05:37
Um in some cases it can be a positive, it can be positive in some cases you can have a big
- 05:37 - 05:39
a negative impact.
- 05:39 - 05:42
Isaac see Demi Lovato's her caption, she says
- 05:43 - 05:45
I'm an american american
- 05:45 - 05:50
singer christian and jewish ancestry offered an amazing opportunity
- 05:50 - 05:53
to read about in the bible growing up.
- 05:54 - 05:55
There is absolutely
- 05:56 - 05:56
mm hmm
- 05:58 - 06:00
There's something absolutely massive in Israel.
- 06:00 - 06:01
I've never felt such a sense
- 06:02 - 06:03
or a connection to God
- 06:04 - 06:08
and she can talk about how she got this is when she got baptized and people
- 06:08 - 06:11
didn't like this because she was
- 06:11 - 06:16
definitely, water is known for her drug abuse and the songs that she makes
- 06:16 - 06:17
can
- 06:17 - 06:20
a lot of christians would not be happy about that.
- 06:20 - 06:25
You can see on the left and the bottom people like are we canceling her?
- 06:25 - 06:27
And then there's someone says,
- 06:27 - 06:29
you can't you can't cancel someone who you never read it.
- 06:29 - 06:32
So she's saying that they're saying that she's never relevant anyway.
- 06:33 - 06:34
Um
- 06:35 - 06:38
and then and then she replies to that she says I don't have an opinion on the
- 06:38 - 06:40
Middle East Middle Eastern conflicts nor is it my
- 06:40 - 06:43
place to have one being an american singer,
- 06:43 - 06:44
you're asking me to choose my side.
- 06:45 - 06:45
Um
- 06:47 - 06:51
that's the Demi Lovato case. Um a lot of people don't think she was right.
- 06:51 - 06:55
A lot of people, a lot of people still cancel her to this day. They don't really
- 06:55 - 06:59
you want and she's kind of, his cancer is to this day known as
- 07:00 - 07:01
completely happy about what she's done
- 07:02 - 07:05
is she's still gonna Gomez. And then um,
- 07:06 - 07:11
There is the R. Kelly one. So the RK one is big because
- 07:12 - 07:12
um,
- 07:13 - 07:13
mm hmm
- 07:14 - 07:21
The R. Kelly one is big because he was canceled on videotape engaging with
- 07:21 - 07:22
under €8.
- 07:22 - 07:25
And this one is where we talk about how
- 07:25 - 07:29
cancel culture can have a positive impact on um,
- 07:30 - 07:36
on society because obviously he was a sex offender and people did not
- 07:36 - 07:39
like him after this and he was completely counselor and went to jail.
- 07:39 - 07:40
So he is
- 07:40 - 07:44
pretty much wiped off the face of the earth almost.
- 07:44 - 07:45
Um,
- 07:46 - 07:47
but um,
- 07:47 - 07:51
obviously he went to jail and stuff like that. So we don't have to worry about him.
- 07:52 - 07:52
Um,
- 07:55 - 08:00
and I think that's how countercultural comes in as a positive way.
- 08:03 - 08:05
Here's some um,
- 08:06 - 08:11
use about how kinds kinds of culture. People don't like it.
- 08:11 - 08:13
So people like us, people who don't like I said,
- 08:13 - 08:14
um,
- 08:15 - 08:18
this is a anti cancer culture
- 08:18 - 08:22
Um, view he says, I think it's annoying that I would be, so I mean,
- 08:22 - 08:24
I'm sorry the left one
- 08:24 - 08:27
welcome this morning thing about cancer culture while I think it's great that we
- 08:27 - 08:31
want to help people accountable for the things they've done to cancel them.
- 08:31 - 08:37
Um, he says to make accusations with are not real stress correct
- 08:37 - 08:40
without thinking of ways people or to change before they're
- 08:40 - 08:43
able to reenter the community and be accepted again.
- 08:43 - 08:46
This is a big thing because a lot of people who get canceled,
- 08:46 - 08:49
they would go back and try and fix themselves and do everything.
- 08:49 - 08:51
They can to be a completely new person, but
- 08:52 - 08:54
people will still come back
- 08:54 - 08:55
and haunt them with the
- 08:56 - 08:57
things they've done the past,
- 08:57 - 08:58
you know,
- 08:58 - 09:02
which completely like goes away the point of cancel culture because I feel like
- 09:03 - 09:07
there's a very toxic mind to some people who are people of cancer culture that they
- 09:07 - 09:10
just want to cancel people and then they're done with that they can never change.
- 09:10 - 09:13
They don't want to see them again. Even if they do change.
- 09:13 - 09:16
We don't want them back in society.
- 09:16 - 09:19
We don't want we don't want to talk about them, We don't want to see them here.
- 09:19 - 09:21
And that's like the toxic mind
- 09:21 - 09:23
of cancer culture
- 09:23 - 09:26
and it kind of goes on on the right, he says,
- 09:26 - 09:30
I think it's annoying that everybody is so anti counterculture when
- 09:30 - 09:33
it's really just people holding other people accountable for what they
- 09:34 - 09:35
say and do.
- 09:36 - 09:43
Um That is also an opinion that things that we should cancel people completely
- 09:43 - 09:49
and fully um because of what they do and they should never be,
- 09:49 - 09:52
they should never be welcomed back into society.
- 09:52 - 09:53
Um
- 09:53 - 09:54
which is toxic.
- 09:58 - 10:00
So um that is my
- 10:00 - 10:04
presentation on cancel culture. Um I hope you enjoyed this. Um
- 10:06 - 10:09
We talked about everything I could about cancel culture and the best way I could,
- 10:09 - 10:10
and thank you for listening.
