We have been hearing much in our contemporary media recently about “cancel culture”. Cancel culture refers to the practice of withdrawing support from a person or group because of objectionable behavior and/or unfavorable opinions. Along with this withdrawal of support comes an effort to convince others, usually via social media but also in public demonstrations, that this person or group should not be heard, should not be allowed to have a viable public presence. Thus, the offenders are “cancelled”.
