Cancel culture
Cancel culture is a severely unhealthy practice as per me. I strongly believe that everyone must get chance to learn from the past mistakes that were done in adolescence and improve and be accepted in present. As per my opinion, educating someone patiently towards what is good and what is bad for them and society is far better than insulting or bashing them that means canceling them which may ruin them forever, in their personal life as well as careers.

For example, society refuses to bear the speech as recent racist David Starkey remarks about “damn black” along with saying that slave trade is better for it. Starkey didn’t seem to have a thought twice before uttering all this and posting on social media. Now, as he came out with such language, he is culturally cancelled and I agree this is rightly done.
