Cancel Culture has been a controversial topic in recent years, and one of the biggest questions that arises is whether this trend is truly beneficial to society. With the rise of "political correctness", the way we express our opinions has also been affected, raising questions about how honest and authentic we can be without offending or harming others. In this article, I will explore the pros and cons of Cancel Culture and political correctness in communication, discussing their impacts on society and how we can create a healthier and safer online environment.
