\\u25cf\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 It is characterized by a lack of dialogue, understanding, and empathy, as people quickly dismiss and "cancel" others without giving them a chance to learn, grow, or change.
\\u25cf\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Cancel culture relies on outrage and disgust, hijacking our brain chemistry and preventing critical thinking and open-mindedness.
\\u25cf\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0 Joel Davis Brown and Mushim Ikeda emphasize the need for critical thinking skills, empathy, and open dialogue to combat cancel culture and promote inclusivity.
\\u25cf\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 There is a difference between unintentional errors, mistakes and lack of knowledge, and people who consciously espouse hate in their language, actions, and writing.
\\u25cf\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Mushim, Joel, and Simma see and have experienced the potential for growth and change in individuals.
\\u25cf\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Cancel culture can hinder progress toward a more inclusive society by shutting down conversations and alienating individuals who may have the potential to become allies or advocates.
\\u25cf\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 There needs to be allowance for grace, resilience, and empowerment in navigating difficult conversations and promoting understanding across different perspectives.
\\u25cf\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Simma Lieberman, Joel Davis Brown, and Mushim Ikeda share their own personal stories of saying the "wrong thing," because they didn\'t have the right information.
\\u25cf\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 They caution against the dangers of focusing on mistakes in specific terminology, instead of addressing the broader issues of systemic inequality and discrimination.
\\u25cf\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Canceling someone who has made an unintentional error, rather than engaging with that person, asking what they meant, and sharing the impact is lazy. It\'s an indication of a certain kind of privilege.
\\u25cf\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Cancel culture can hinder the development of genuine connections and hinder the opportunity for personal growth and learning.
\\u25cf\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0\\xa0 Ultimately we want people to embrace inclusion, compassion, and empathy. That can\'t happen in an atmosphere of fear, scorn, and "lifelong punishment."
Takeaway:
Cancel culture poses a threat to inclusive conversations and understanding. Instead of immediately dismissing and canceling individuals, it is crucial to facilitate open dialogue, empathy, and critical thinking.\\xa0
