What is your opinion of cancel culture as a whole? In a 2019 interview, Barack Obama challenged youth activists on their “purity” and “judgmentalism,” saying, “That’s not activism.” But in an Opinion essay, Ernest Owens, a journalist, wrote that Mr. Obama’s comments reflected a very “boomer view of cancel culture,” one in which older and more powerful people seem to be “more upset by online criticism than they are by injustice.” What do you think? Has cancel culture gone too far and become unproductive? Or is it a necessary and effective response to perceived wrongdoing? (4 complete sentences)

My idea on cancel culture is that it can get extreme and unproductive when it gets toxic.

Cancel culture is a way that people use to express their displeasure and anger over issues that they find dissatisfying.

It leads to ostracizing people or organizations due to their acts, behaviors or opinions.

Even though it can deter people and even organizations from posting offensive views, it could be negative most times.

Cancel culture can get too far when the people are against anyone who has a different opinion from them.
It could be regarded as toxic if it drives the other party to want to harm themselves
If it involves invasion of privacy and threat.

It is not the best response for wrongdoing because there are other ways of tackling issues and disagreements without ostracizing the other person.
