What is the difference between cancel culture and human rights?
(I haven't seen anyone talking about this so if you did talk about this before I then credit it to you and please you could tell me in the comments if there is anything I work on.)I believe that there is a huge difference between both of these topics but first let's see what does both human rights and cancel culture.
Human rights are norms that help to protect all people everywhere from political, legal, and social mistreatment for example these are some human rights that include:
-the right to freedom of religion/Culture
-the right to a fair trial when charged with a crime
-the right to not be tortured
-the right to engage in political activity
These are protected both nationally and internationally laws. Human rights mostly come from few important documents such as the Universal Declaration Of Human Rights and many more.
But where do they come from?
Human rights are now/still protected by the laws even nationally and internationally.
These rights are very important to us both physically and mentally so without them then we would have not been in a world where we get treated unfairly.
From the internet, it is said that cancel culture refers to the popular practice of withdrawing support for (cancelling) public figures and companies after they have done or said something considered objectionable or offensive. Cancel culture is generally discussed as being performed on social media in the form of group shaming.
But why is cancel culture a problem?
In my opinion, I believe that Cancel culture is a big problem but it is not something new I believe because we humans have criticised other human beings as well but we also have disrespected other religions and their culture but again this isn't something new in my opinion this topic can be also seen in cyber-bullying and bullying, bullies do bully other people because of their culture and their culture this is not right it is wrong to do so because then the victim who gets bullied for their culture they now feel depressed and shamed about their cultural meaning that they won't spend time with family while their celebration.
So this is why I believe that there is a difference between these topics.
But remember how I mentioned that human rights protect people for the freedom of their religion/culture this means that humans rights could protect people who feel ashamed of their culture and realise that they should not feel like this.
HEAD OVER ONTO
What do you guys think of these topics is there a way to stop cancel culture and how would you feel if you got ashamed of your culture and what would you do?
If you were a human activist how would have you felt that people are ashamed of their culture?
