YOU Are Cancelled!!

Because someone is hurting your feelings. Is it fair to destroy their whole life and/or career?

NOTE: Vague responses will not be accepted in your post or replies.

1. INCLUDE: Last Name, First Initial, AND Class Block.

2. You MUST comment on at least TWO other posts from any student in any class. Your replies cannot be identical comments on different posts and posting shallow comments such as "I agree" or "I disagree" will earn you a zero. Make sure your reply addresses the comment that you are responding to.

4. Set a weekly alarm or calendar timer. Whatever you do to remember other important events, I'd do the same for this assignment.

5. Don't wait until the last minute. Telling me that you didn't do the assignment on Friday because you broke your leg, for example, on Thursday will not do anything for you when you've had a week. Be responsible and accountable.

6. How to post. Click in the top right hand corner or the lower left hand corner where it says Comments to access the discussion board. Once there, scroll to the bottom of the page to post a Reply. After, choose comments from at least two students from any class and Reply to what they wrote.

I belive that cancel culture has ruined society and today's generation because any remotely comment told to a person from gen z they see that as threat, or an act of violence another way to describe cancel culture is by people finding a reason to cancel u

R, Brown 7B

10/2/2023 01:08:34 pm

I see where you're coming from. People now in society feel attacked if something is said about them. It could be the littlest thing to. What I don't agree with is that it is not only gen-z that are too sensitive to comments about themselves, It's everybody. Not a specific group.

L Vargas 1A

10/3/2023 08:49:15 am

I completely agree with your opinion because there are "other" groups that do exist and if they're in a situation for example someone getting exposed for controversial reasons they would in reality have two decisions they e-their have (A) defend the person and have a war with cancel culture or (B) be on their side and ruin a person life.

J. Kinard (4A)

10/3/2023 02:42:42 pm

It's understandable to think that Gen Z is the most affected by small things, especially considering how much attention they receive from those who do so. You are right in saying that everyone has the potential to act the same way.

i agree all people in this generation wanna do is cancel people if they dont agree with it or if it hurts there feelings

D Manuel 1a

10/4/2023 12:58:32 pm

I also agree with this comment. Cancel culture is toxic and shouldn't be used on others just because you dont agree with their opinion.

B Jasso 6B

10/6/2023 10:35:03 am

I agree with you, people in this generation shouldn't cancel people just because they don't agree, it's unfair and immature to do something like that.

N Smith 3a

10/6/2023 03:06:27 pm

i agree because its like nowadays if someone says anything that makes you feel a certain way even just a little bit yall want to cancel them which is messed up

Williams, J 1A

10/3/2023 09:37:59 am

I understand this answer because some people can't control themselves and their actions.

Shankle, A 1A

10/3/2023 09:46:57 am

I agreed that some people think that they felling attacked but the person something what they say. Many people these days would think that they getting violence,and being disrespectful to their parents and teachers and other students that they just can't walk away from it. People think that they feel attacked just because being of their own culture is finding they can get away from it.

Sergio Morales-3A-
Yeah I agree, it's one of the most despicable things to do on the internet. All they need to do to ruin you is find one sentence out of context, and they can do as they please.

D Manuel 1a

10/4/2023 12:57:36 pm

I agree, just because someone is making you feel a way you shouldn't ruin there career, that simply isn't fair and is doing too much.

D Gómez

It is important to approach conflicts and hurt feelings with empathy and understanding. Seeking revenge or attempting to destroy someone's life or career

K Jacinto 4A

10/6/2023 11:32:01 pm

Yes I agree, cancel culture is too soft

R, Brown 7B

10/2/2023 01:02:30 pm

Just because a person has hurt someone's feelings, that doesn't give them the right to destroy that person's life. yes, we all would love to get revenge back, but it's not worth it. Along with that, cancel culture is 50/50 in my opinion. I do believe some people need to be canceled due to the fact that they do too much. On the other hand, everybody is extremely sensitive nowadays so most people that do get canceled are because people can't take a joke anymore.

Amalio Garcia 1A

10/3/2023 08:53:47 am

I feel the same way, because although we want revenge it is not the best thing to always get it, there are always better ways to fix the problem you have with that one person and can get into a agreement.

L Vargas 1A

10/3/2023 09:57:44 am

Although this community can get to our emotions it is very important to ignore and focus on your metal health because this community could have impact with your love ones

A Bradley 4A

10/3/2023 03:12:35 pm

I agree, because people who take the jokes too far deserve to be cancelled.

C Da Silva 1A

10/3/2023 09:16:48 am

I agree because you can't continuously let other people's opinions get to you. I also think that ruining other peoples life over something they said is not correct because everyone makes mistakes. taking what others say seriously is also not gonna help you be happy.

T.Gray 1A

10/3/2023 09:27:03 am

I agree because you shouldn't let anybody's opinion

J,Robinson 1A

10/3/2023 09:44:38 am

I agree , because people feel hurt everyday just because they can´t take a joke , but it doesn´t mean to go cancel their careers because you don ´ t have a good comeback.

Sergio Morales link

10/3/2023 01:04:00 pm

Sergio Morales-3A-You're right, there are just some people that deserve to get fully deleted off the internet for what they do to people. But is it worth the trade-off of people being "extremely sensitive nowadays"? Honestly I don't know.

T. Samuels

10/4/2023 01:37:14 pm

Being “sensitive” does not give people a pass to be rude. You also cannot tell someone what they should or shouldn’t do to someone for hurting their feelings because if they want to defend themselves in a way that might ruin someone’s career then let them. The person shouldn’t have hurt their feelings because I feel like we are at the age where we are self aware of what we say and do so there is no excuse.

D Davis 6B

10/5/2023 06:01:16 pm

That's how I feel. Yes, getting revenge on someone who hurt your feeling would feel nice, but at the same time, I feel like it makes you swoop down to their level.

D Cruz

10/6/2023 01:40:54 pm

I partially agree. I feel like wanting revenge or getting it, is sort of like protecting and defending yourself, showing that you're not someone to play with or take advantage of. I don't think it's necessarily stooping down to the person's level. However, I do see your point of view. Walking away or letting it go can make you more of a bigger person.

D Gomez

10/6/2023 03:14:59 pm

yes i agree but they have to be aware that karma exist

A Bethany 7b

10/5/2023 09:38:16 pm

I don’t completely agree, but I can understand from your point of view.

D Cruz

10/6/2023 01:34:09 pm

Precisely. I feel as if wanting revenge is common when you're done wrong, but that shouldn't determine ruining someone else's life. I believe that people who are very wrongful with no justifications should be canceled, but a lot of the time, this generation has a really bad habit of finding something wrong with EVERYTHING, and is just very sensitive causing them not to be able to take a joke.

Natalee Sears 7B

10/6/2023 01:37:24 pm

I agree with this because you don't have he right to destroy someone's life just because they hurt your feelings and cancel culture is also 50/50 in mu opinion, people get extremely offended nowadays.

K Jacinto 4A

10/6/2023 11:33:17 pm

Yes I agree, people need to understand how to take a joke

J Lira 7b

10/2/2023 01:26:38 pm

I believe that someone´s career and social life should not be impacted by someone who gets offended easily. Although they might have said something idiotic, things are often said out of pure lack of knowledge rather than by the intention to be harmful. Even if a person meant to be harmful, cancelling them would not do much since they expected for people to react differently. At the end of the day everyone has a variety of opinions that may be different from our own.

C Da Silva 1A

10/3/2023 09:21:22 am

I agree because others should not be allowed to just ruin someone's life like that. Although what someone said might be hurtful you don't really gain anything from feeling offended. people having diverse opinions is normal, not everybody is gonna think the same way.

Williams J 1A

10/3/2023 09:34:40 am

I agree with this answer because everybody have different mind sets because the way they are.

Shankle, A 1A

10/3/2023 09:39:04 am

I agreed for what you are saying about NOT impacted by someone who gets offended easily. If they say something hurtful to you just go on their day and more forward until that person apologizes to you or make it up for you.Many people would not apologize to you for what they done.

J. Kinard (4A)

10/3/2023 02:39:59 pm

I agree. Everyone has a different perspective on the world. As such, their perspectives should be treated as you would treat your own: with respect.

C Valdez 1A

10/6/2023 11:16:44 am

I agree with this because no one should get cancelled over offending someone with something they had said. People have different opinions and that doesn't justify having their life ruined. Cancelling someone over feelings hurt doesn't help anyone so it's just not worth doing it and it's not justified.

Natalee Sears 7B

10/6/2023 01:39:28 pm

I agree because no matter what a person says or does, people tend to act before speaking making irrational decisions and saying things that come off the tongue.

R, Brown 7B

10/2/2023 02:04:41 pm

I appreciate the response you wrote. To me you covered both sides of the argument, which is interesting. It is completely true that most people get "canceled due to them wanting attention, and they know people are gonna be offended enough by it to reply back. Which inevitably ends up with said person being cancelled.

Amalio Garcia 1A

10/3/2023 08:51:27 am

It is not fair to ruin someones life/career because they have made you upset, we are humans we are know to make mistakes: not everyone is perfect or is perfect. I have seen many people get cancelled for a small little issue they talked about, and their whole life was ruined because this one student called their school and got kicked out or their school cancelling his highschool diploma.

Mims D 1a

10/3/2023 09:29:19 am

I agree because because everyone change in time not everyone stay the same way.

N rainey 1a

10/3/2023 09:29:22 am

i agree so many celebs get cancelled for little things that may have upset someone and that not fair at all because half the time they dont mean it to be as bad as people perceive

Dimas.J 3A

10/3/2023 01:38:47 pm

I agree because we all make mistakes and sometimes we say things that are out of place and don't realize that we could be offending someone

D Davis 6B

10/5/2023 06:02:45 pm

I agree, people aren't even allowed to voice how they feel about certain things without people taking some type of offence to it.

Williams, J 1A

10/3/2023 08:56:36 am

It really depends on what they did because you have to respond in a fair and constructive way so nothing bad happens to both of yall.

L Speed 1A

10/3/2023 09:33:40 am

I agree it depends on what they did because some people do go too far with some things.

C Da Silva 1A

10/3/2023 09:10:27 am

I don't agree with cancel culture because you are basically not letting people voice their opinions. although people make comments on things that might be hurtful to others you should not ruin their entire life just because your feelings got hurt. I also think its unrealistic for people to think that everyone is gonna have the same opinion.

Amalio Garcia 1A

10/3/2023 09:13:37 am

I greatly agree with you, not EVERYONE has the SAME opinion, there is no need to be so mad, that someone doesn't agree with your opinion and ruin their life its just not fair.

T.Gray 1A

10/3/2023 09:28:18 am

agree because nothing can be that deep.

L Speed 1A

10/3/2023 09:30:41 am

I agree some people need to learn how to get out of their feelings.

J,Robinson 1A

10/3/2023 09:46:21 am

I agree because nothing should be that deep that you cancel somebody careers.

Mims D 1a

10/3/2023 09:30:32 am

I agree that people should get they entire life ruined.

Madi Snyder 6B

10/4/2023 09:32:57 am

Your right about how it really is unrealistic for everyone to have the same opinions. You should 100% be able to voice your opinion, however if you choose to do so on any platform you need to also be aware of the back lash you are going to get.

M Johnson 1A

10/6/2023 01:32:10 am

I agree because everyone should be able to share their own opinions with people getting hurt.

N rainey 1a

10/3/2023 09:20:28 am

no its not fair to mess someone life or career up because two wrongs dont make a right and people gonna be nasty and mean always its just life

T.Gray 1A

10/3/2023 09:21:17 am

i disagree because you shouldn't let people get under your skin because what other peoples opinion doesn't matter.

L Speed 1A

10/3/2023 09:21:48 am

Just because someone is hurting you can't just destroy that person's career or life for hurting your feelings.

Mims.D 1a

10/3/2023 09:27:00 am

Destroying someone life isn’t something u should do just because someone is hurting your feelings. You should jus hurt they feelings back.

Dimas.J 3A

10/3/2023 12:42:18 pm

I disagree because there is no point in hurting someone's feelings back when you can just ignore them

Shankle, A 1A

10/3/2023 09:33:37 am

Just think about what you think about it. Many people would love to get their revenge on the person that hurts your feelings it does not mean that you can make it harder for them. It's just wrong to make people feel down and say such words to the person. But there are going to be some people that will feel there regret that what they have done. The person will learn there lesson for what they have done and apologize.

N Smith 3A

10/3/2023 12:29:38 pm

it isnt fair to ruin someones whole life and potentially strip them of the opportunities that this person has worked so hard to get just because you didnt like what they said thats completely unfair

zal swain 3a

10/3/2023 12:37:47 pm

frankly you only get cancelled if you let yourself be cancelled if someone doesn't agree with your opinion or your perspective that's on them you are allowed to have an opinion on something

J.Dimas 3A

10/3/2023 12:41:16 pm

It is not fair to destroy someone's life and/or career just because you got offended with a comment, we have freedom of speech and honestly nowadays people are really sensitive to the point that they can't take a joke, this generation is very sensitive about the small things.

S, Ross

10/3/2023 02:55:05 pm

I agree with you because all though some things are wrong to say to others this is a free country and people shouldn't take things so seriously. you know yourself better than anyone so for someone to make you feel a certain way about yourself is beyond me .

Alexandra green

10/3/2023 03:02:07 pm

It may be a free country but people should not just do that to people that why I said let karma get that person karma will heat hard then you messing up they life

D Lopez 3a

10/5/2023 10:51:23 am

i agree because in this generation everyone gets offended really easily and seeks for revenge when they get their feelings hurt.

N Smith 3a

10/6/2023 03:11:26 pm

i agree this generation with the cancel culture is getting out of hand because its getting to the point where more people cant express their own opinions or feelings without someone getting their panties in a knot

Sergio Morales link

10/3/2023 12:56:13 pm

Sergio Morales-3A-I think it's not fair to do this to someone who just hurts your feelings. Suppose they are hurting my feelings, it's whatever. That's life, and if anything the person who is trying to hurt you is probably even more hurt than you. These people that go out of their way to ruin someone else's lives are sad,confused, and are trying to replace that empty hole in their life. It's not worth it.

S,Ross 4 A

10/3/2023 03:00:51 pm

I completely agree no one should have that much control over your life because its your life at the end of the day and some people are boring and miserable, those aren't the type of people you should allow to hurt your feelings .

Nox Sears 8b

10/4/2023 12:53:42 pm

Picking on someone, hurting someone's feelings is a part of life. Not everyone is sweet and nice. People aren't perfect. We are only human.

J. Kinard (4A)

10/3/2023 02:35:28 pm

It is, literally, absolutely unfair to ruin someone's life because of a differing opinion. A disagreement does not mean someone is inhuman: everyone has differing opinions, and it is not the job of one person or the public to police those opinions. Someone enjoying something generally disliked is not grounds for harassment either. Even if it disturbs someone, being disturbed does not justify ruining a life. It might be hard for some to see that cancel culture is extremely harmful to its victims, especially with internet culture being hostile in general, but the effects of being canceled are too harsh for something relatively tiny.

C Valdez 1A

10/6/2023 11:13:31 am

I agree with this because different opinions don't mean people should be getting harassed online because there's better things you could be doing in life. Unless your completely justified to try to cancel someone then no one should attempt it because having your reputation ruined and loosing jobs could ruin someone's life over something small is too much. Someone's emotions getting hurt over something small shouldn't lead to someone's life being ruined

S , Ross 4A

10/3/2023 02:49:16 pm

I don't think that it's fair to destroy someones's life because they hurt your feelings at the end of the day it's the way you took what they said and i honestly think that someone shouldn't hold that much power over your life that they could make you want to return the same energy that caused you to feel the way you do.

Alexandra

10/3/2023 02:59:13 pm

I agree I just feel like everyone take what people say different so that why I said don’t do nothing let karma do it for you

Madi Snyder 6B

10/4/2023 09:28:12 am

I agree. At the end of the day it is how you take their comment. You can choose to let it affect you for however long or you can use it to show them that they are wrong and that you will not let them affect how you live your life. Be the bigger person in these situations because that will get you farther in life.

Alexandra Green

10/3/2023 02:58:05 pm

I feel like if someone is hurting your feelings you should not running there life just let karma do it .

J. RockwellI 3a

10/4/2023 10:40:30 am

facts that is a good way to deal with it

Madi Snyder 6B

10/4/2023 09:26:07 am

I do not think it is okay under any circumstance to basically destroy someone because they hurt you in some way. You have to realize, at the end of the day for anyone you are gonna have to be the bigger person about things. Not everyone is going to be nice and you have no idea what the other person is going through either. I am not not saying that justifies their actions towards you, but destroying them is doing nothing but wasting your time, when you could be doing other important things, to make your life better. You can get back at them by showing them how much them being a jerk is not affecting you and that you can thrive no metter what they do to you.

J. RockwellI 3a

10/4/2023 10:40:05 am

like Mrs. D says straight facts

Nox Sears 8b

10/4/2023 12:52:40 pm

Be a bigger person and deal with things correctly. I agree, people these days take things so close to heart when in reality it's not that big of a deal

George Kessebeh

10/4/2023 01:52:02 pm

I agree . People shouldnt take things to far over there feelings just toughen up and get over it .

T. Samuels 6b

10/4/2023 01:30:48 pm

I definitely do not agree with this because some people do deserve to get their career ruined from hurting people’s feelings. For example, what if someone put their hands on you, wouldn’t you try to ruin their career? This is basically your feelings being hurt because I’m pretty sure you cried from being hit and crying is a form of your feelings being hurt.

C.lott 3A

10/5/2023 06:48:55 pm

I agree, because people should just look at the situation different than the other person. Never let your emotions get in the way of soemthing just to ruin someones career. I would just say that you shouldnt try to be the problem instead just face it.

N parker 7B

10/6/2023 11:38:48 am

i agree with your statement, it is not fair to cancel someone just because it offened you

J. RockwellI 3a

10/4/2023 10:39:20 am

well then you need to work on people not getting on your nerve and be able to just let it go in one ear and let it go out the other ear and no its not okay

D Lopez 3a

10/5/2023 10:49:16 am

I agree because its not okay to let someone hurt your feelings but you just have to let go and be the bigger person.

Nox (Katelyn) Sears 8b

10/4/2023 12:51:14 pm

Just because someone is hurting your feeling doesn't give you the right to full out just ruin their entire life and dreams. The only time you should do that is if they did something that can be brought up in court as a serious case. It's not right to ruin someone's life over something you can talk out with someone or easily bring to an adult or brush off.

zal swain 3a

10/5/2023 03:01:18 pm

i agree if they hurt your feelings just move on and be mature about it two wrong don't make a right.

A,Martinez 7B

10/6/2023 02:37:38 pm

I agree that people should be help accountable for their actions depending on the situation.

Alynette Delgado 6B

10/6/2023 02:48:32 pm

I agree with her because it makes sense what she said.

C,Ramirez 3A

10/6/2023 05:23:02 pm

I agree, but I think "getting feelings hurt" can be a bit ambiguous. If we are talking about just gossip, then yes it is unfair to try and retaliate to that extent. However crimes like hate crimes (which do hurt people's feelings), are things that need to be reported and that people need to be called out on. There have been examples of this all in media where someone says a racial slur or discriminates against people based on their culture or race, and those people need to be held accountable for their words and actions.

T Samuels 6b

10/4/2023 01:25:25 pm

In my opinion, it depends on what they did to hurt your feelings. I personally would ruin someone’s career if they seriously hurt my feelings. This is because I don’t play about my feelings since they don’t get hurt often so if you have done something to hurt them then you deserve to get your career ruined.

George Kessebeh

10/4/2023 01:50:06 pm

I disagree with this . Just because your feelings got hurt does'nt mean you should tarnish somebodies whole life . That's just pure wickedness .

Sanchez 6B

10/5/2023 11:25:21 am

I disagree that is just making you the same person as they are im not saying you should forgive them either but dont level yourself down be, the bigger person.

zal swain 3a

10/5/2023 02:58:46 pm

i disagree with this trinidee just be acting bitter you shouldn't destroy nobody's life because they hurt your feelings.

M Johnson 1A

10/6/2023 01:20:38 am

I don't agree with this because why are you so soft and care about your feelings. In the world nobody cares about your feelings and for them to get hurt over words is crazy.

R Arpero 6B

10/6/2023 10:30:56 am

I do not concur with this since why are you so delicate and care approximately your sentiments. Within the world no one cares approximately your feelings and for them to urge harmed over words is insane.

C, Ramirez 3A

10/6/2023 05:19:10 pm

I agree with you. I think the fact that people think that careers are being ruined because of "feelings being hurt" is a bit of an understatement. Careers are usually ruined because there is not only evidence of what happened, but also because it hurt not only one person but many. Dumbing things down to "feelings being hurt" doesn't explain in extent what the person said that was so hurtful. Simple gossip is one thing, but once it gets to discrimination, I believe those people deserve to have their careers ruined. One can only wonder how many people they have discriminated against already and I think the public deserves to know the character of the person who has "hurt our feelings".

George Kessebeh

10/4/2023 01:48:56 pm

No it isnt fair to destroy somebodies life or career just because you feel some type of way that they said something . What people really dont realize is that cancel culture is very harsh , thats bad reputation to the point you cant even get a job or be around certain people because you have been cancelled .

N parker 7B

10/6/2023 11:37:03 am

I completely agree with your statement, i dont think cancel culture shoudl stay for long.

Braeden Penson

M Contreras 6B

10/5/2023 10:18:04 am

In my opinion I believe that people can grow. Why should she shut someone out of society or be shamed for past mistakes. People can grow and learn from mistakes.

M Fairley

10/6/2023 12:38:55 pm

Some people do not grow, then what? Some past mistakes are things that can never be forgiven, but moved pass. If that person doesn't grow and change, would it then be acceptable to ruin their life?

I agree with what you are saying, however there is a limit in acceptance. For example if you are targeting a specific group, that is passing the borderline.

I dont think so even though it does not justify what they did to you. I believe if you do seek revenge it's just making you the same person as they are. Usually the best way to handle this is by letting it go. Since, you hate the person, your goal is to spend as little time thinking about them. If you go on and try to destroy them you ar eputting yourself in a position that you don't like.

I agree but also disagree. Some situations I'd say are justifiable. If someone killed someone you care for and you choose to let your emotions get the best of you and you want to kill them, then sure, you are no better than that murderer. Sometimes people are just bad and will do terrible things that may alter you as a person. I believe that very few situations are justifiable to destroy a person's career and/or life.

C. Nwachukwu 7B

I agree, you destorying their career only makes you as bad a person as they are. We shouldn't live through others opinions, so it's up to you to decide how much you let it affect you.

M. Evbuomwan 8b

I think if they did or say something ignorant, hateful or unethical they should be held accountable for it but sometimes cancel cultural is wildly misused.

If someone is hurting your feelings, it doesn't mean you have to just go ruin their life for something they did because you can be the bigger person. Don't let revenge take over and just really think about the outcome of what might happen in the future.

C.lott 3A

10/5/2023 06:41:49 pm

I agree, you can just be the bigger person instead of causing prolems. No matter how bad or worse it gets you can be the problem the situation gets solved or not.I would say just dont let your emotion control the situation

C.lott 3A

10/5/2023 01:59:25 pm

I personally think you shouldnt crush or destroy what someone has going for their self just because they hrut you. Maybe you should be the one to build from the situation instead of trying the disrupt their life or career.Also, if they hurt you that bad you should talk to them privately.

Joshua Deleon 6B

10/6/2023 08:39:28 am

I agree ruining a career is harsh for someones words. Ruining a career is a problem i think has grown. You, as a grown person should be able to think outside your own perspective.

C. Nwachukwu 7B

10/6/2023 12:36:09 pm

I agree with this, if someone has something bad to say about you then you should improve yourself off of it. Destroying someone's lifelong hard work will only make you regret it later.

kanye lombardo

10/6/2023 12:42:33 pm

This is what I meant when I said people will tell you to be the bigger person and not to stoop down to another person level

M Roberson 8B

10/6/2023 10:55:47 pm

I agree, I don't think people should be canceled for hurting someone's feelings because you might not know what could.

D Davis 6B

10/5/2023 06:08:14 pm

I think it depends on what they said that hurt you, but I still don't think you should go so far as to ruin their life over it. If it's something they've done to you personally, maybe, depending on the situation. However, if it's something said over the internet, I don't think it's worth doing everything you can to ruin their career/life.

A Bethany

10/5/2023 09:35:09 pm

I understand what you mean, but I don’t completely agree because I feel like no matter what the situation is, revenge isn’t the best way to go about it.

Joshua Deleon 6B

10/6/2023 08:38:06 am

I agree especially over the internet. If you cant simply look away or open another app i think it is a problem. However, it does depend on what they said, many people say things online expecting to get away completely fine.

Braeden Penson

10/6/2023 12:40:57 pm

I agree the internet shoudnt be a reason to get into it so bad with someone

kanye lombardo

10/6/2023 12:44:09 pm

I also stated that it depended on the severity of the situation if revenge is even a option

A Bethany 7b

10/5/2023 09:34:15 pm

Because someone is hurting your feelings, it is not fair to destroy their whole life and/or career? In my opinion revenge is not the best way to go about your feelings being hurt. Ruining someone to make yourself feel better makes you as bad as them.

A,Martinez 7B

10/6/2023 02:34:58 pm

I agree that it is better to deal with being upset rather than creating more issues by trying to get a person back.

M Roberson 8B

10/6/2023 11:01:49 pm

I agree. I do not think that is a good reason to cancel someone unless it goes more in depth.

M Johnson 1A

10/6/2023 12:57:19 am

I think that words shouldn't affect you as a person but it definitely shouldn't prompt someone to destroy someone's life because of what they said."Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will never harm me"

R Arpero 6B

10/6/2023 10:30:07 am

I agree, especially about the internet. If you can't just look away or open another app, I think that's the problem. It depends on what they said though, many people say things online hoping it will go well

Joshua Deleon 6B

10/6/2023 08:37:06 am

If someone is hurting your feelings i don't believe it is right to ruin a career. Growing up is a part of life and if you cannot understand different opinions or not have the ability to walk away it could put you in bad situations.

R Arpero 6B

10/6/2023 10:28:43 am

I believe that just because someones feelings have been hurt doesn't mean that the consequences are to cancel someones culture.

jadian rivers 7b

10/6/2023 12:31:06 pm

I agree because its freedom of speech people say crazy things everyday dont mean they get canceled

C Valdez 1A

10/6/2023 11:02:33 am

Having your feelings hurt online does not justify attempting to ruin someone's life or career. Not agreeing with someone is a bad excuse to try to ruin someone's career or life unless they are doing something illegal or wrong. People shouldn't be trying to cancel someone because of something they disagreed with.

J. Lira 7b

10/6/2023 01:43:44 pm

I definitely agree with all your points thanks for specifying between cancelling someone for disagreement and cancelling someone based off of illegal reasoning.

M Fairley 6B

10/6/2023 11:20:47 am

No, it isn't fair to destroy someone's life off hurt feelings. It is never that serious. You shouldn't deny someone's emotions in the moment, everyone is allowed to feel how they do about things, however being so upset over something someone did to the point that actively seeking out the end of their career is just insane. At that point, you are just purposely prolonging the emotions far longer than needed. Then again, I feel there are some situations where I believe a person is well within their right to want to destroy someone's life because of their strong emotions. So to short this down, it's a matter of perspective really.

jadian rivers 7b

10/6/2023 12:30:26 pm

i agree because every one is entitled to their own opinion so why cant they.

M. Moore 8B

10/6/2023 02:47:21 pm

To a certain extent I agree, I think if it has a true reason that's not dumb people should be aloud to get treated exactly how they treat people. some people are can be real jerks.

N Parker 7B

10/6/2023 11:36:05 am

I personally think that cancel culture can be a good thing and a bad thing. Because someone could truly be a disgusting human, but others can just be voicing how they feel and get canceled because it offends someone else. If you are a pedophile or a rapist, you need to be canceled. not if you don't like a certain thing.

jadian rivers 7b

10/6/2023 12:29:44 pm

i feel like the whole getting canceled trend is dumb in my opinion. its annoying how much people stay in other people business or so worried about what somebody famous thinks.

C. Nwachukwu 7B

10/6/2023 12:32:29 pm

I don't think anybody should be canceled for hurting someone's feelings. Yes they should be dealt with, but there's plenty of other ways to go about it.

Braeden Penson

10/6/2023 12:35:30 pm

I feel like cancel culture has ruined our society in many ways like how our opinions cant be shared because another person might not like their opinion.

kanye lombardo

10/6/2023 12:39:26 pm

Some people will tell you to be the bigger person and learn to let things roll off your shoulders. Others will say seek revenge for those who did you wrong. Me personally it just depends on the severity of the situation.

M. Moore

10/6/2023 02:45:10 pm

I agree, revenge should come as it's deserved not just to see if you can be worse than the other person. as long as revenge is humane.

D Cruz 3A

10/6/2023 01:27:16 pm

Just because someone hurts your feelings doesn't mean you should go and ruin their life. Choosing to brush it off your shoulder makes you a bigger person. Maybe you could even communicate those feelings rather than trying to ruin something, because once something is done, you can't really take it back.

Alynette Delgado 6B

10/6/2023 02:47:16 pm

I agree with this person since it is the same point of view as mine

Natalee Sears 7B

10/6/2023 01:35:28 pm

I think that you shouldn't ruin someone's life because they hurt your feeling because you have no idea what that person is already going through. Plus you don't know what caused them to hurt you, so if you ruin their life it'll make things worse for them,

A,Martinez 7B

10/6/2023 02:31:38 pm

I believe that a person's reputation should not be affected by one person's opinion. We are all human and make mistakes. There is a difference between making a mistake and doing something wrong intentionally. So if a person does something wrong intentionally they deserve to be called out and or get what they deserve.

M Johnson 2 1A

10/6/2023 03:41:20 pm

When people do these things intentionally, they should understand what will happen once things come out.

M. Moore 8B

10/6/2023 02:43:58 pm

My mom constantly tells me don't let people get in my head, and while she has every right to think that, I don't think I'm the type of person to just allow people to hurt me. I sit and think on it and when I feel in control of myself I do my revenge. I think if someone is so bold to hurt you that they'd also be perfectly okay with the same treatment. Although I think whatever comes is deserved, it also has to be reasonable.

M Johnson 2 1A

10/6/2023 03:28:53 pm

I agree, people who hurt others don't think that they won't have any consequences when they do things. People just do anything online and offline now and it's embarrassing.

C.Scott 1A

10/6/2023 04:54:19 pm

your mom is most definitely correct don't bother any hurt things or insults a person throws at you dodge it, remain in character and let the karma come back around and handle that.

Alynette Delgado 6B

10/6/2023 02:46:20 pm

Hurting someone because they hurt you is a ugly,bad thing to do in my opinion. I know that the person make you feel bad but that is not a reason to do it back. Sometimes we have to be the bigger person and do what is right no matter how bad the person made us feel.

C.Scott 1A

10/6/2023 04:52:11 pm

it is a very ugly thing to do and it makes you look worse than the person who said something that hurts your feelings because you ot trying to do the most to take this person down a simple talk it out conversation isnt hard but these days nobody wants to talk and thats they problem

M Johnson 2 1A

10/6/2023 03:15:18 pm

It depends on what the person said or did. They could be the most cruelest person like a racist, supremacist, etc. Those kinds of people I feel need to be called out. For smaller things, I think those could be forgotten.

M . Evbuomwan 8b

10/6/2023 11:06:38 pm

Absolutely if they did something vile I think they deserved it but if its for something stupid it reminds me why I hate being on the internet

C. Scott 1A

10/6/2023 04:50:28 pm

if you think destorying one's career over your feelings getting hurt is okay life if twisted for you. Your soft and immature which is a common thing now in this generation people get their feelings hurt and now all of a sudden they can't suck it up and want some type of revenge back.While its understandable that someone hurting your feelings can be incredibly difficult , it's important to approach the situation with empathy and understanding. Seeking revenge by destroying someone's life or career is not fair or productive . Instead it's better to address the issue directly , communicate your feelings and try to find a resolution

C, Ramirez 3A

Cancel culture cannot be dumbed down to "having one's feelings hurt so we retaliate". That would disregard the true power behind "cancel culture" and the reason it even exists. Cancel culture was originally created to keep people online accountable for their actions. The internet is a place where people aren't policed for the things they say and a lot of predator or predatory behavior is allowed. A good example of this is this one YouTube lady who had her whole family on the internet. Turns out that with the help of "cancel culture," she was finally arrested for child abuse and neglect. While the media (especially traditional media like Fox News and CNN) likes to portray cancel culture as this fad that kids these days are in on, they lack the insight of "kids these days" actually using it to keep others safe. Like with all good things, there will be a flip side to cancel culture. Just like CNN and Fox News twist narratives for the clicks, "cancel culture" also has people who use its power to ruin people's lives. I do not condone those who use cancel culture to simply vent and lie about someone's character, however whenever there is something like "cancel culture" in existence, people are bound to abuse it, just like they do with traditional media. In my opinion, "cancel culture" is fair only because it's done a lot of good for people being discriminated against online, for people who are victims of predatory behavior, and for those who have genuinely done wrong to get their platform removed so they cannot keep spreading such hate. The moral of it all is to listen to both sides of the story before jumping to a conclusion and canceling someone's entire career, just like we are skeptical of Fox News and CNN, we should also take people's words online with a grain of salt until proof is provided.

M Roberson 8B

Just because someone is hurting your feelings I don't think it's okay to destroy their career. This varies because of the situation and the controversy at stake. When it comes to public figures I think that some of them might not know the right things to say or do. I don't think anyone should instantly run and cancel people just because.

M. Evbuomwan 8b

10/6/2023 11:02:55 pm

I feel like if you are ignorant and hateful you shouldn’t be allowed to spread that ignorance through the internet knowingly. But sometimes cancel culture has been used for stupid and unrelelevent reasons. and I think that’s unfortunate

C. Cofield 3A

10/6/2023 11:36:23 pm

Honestly if I was to be 100 with you it all really depends on a person's perspective. Most thing might make a person react differently than other causing them to do outrageous and out of the ordinary things.

C. Cofield

10/6/2023 11:11:42 pm

I honestly feel like just because somebody is hurting your feel or things of that nature doesn't give you the right to destroy someones whole future. It is a good thing but still don't give anyone the rights to complete ruin a persons life.

K Jacinto 4A

10/6/2023 11:36:10 pm

I agree some people need to be cancelled due to the fact that they only spread negative and bad stuff. But the people who do good all the time and make a joke that gets taken out of context, get bashed for that one thing. Is not okay, we should be able to recognize when “cancel culture” is supposed to step in and not. Some people’s life’s and careers get ruined just because the truth is said which isn’t right.

C.Cofield 3A

10/6/2023 11:39:40 pm

I honestly feel like just because somebody is hurting your feel or things of that nature doesn't give you the right to destroy someone's whole future. It is a good thing but still don't give anyone the rights to completely ruin a person's life. People don't think about and process all the things they could eventually mess up for a person family not just them.
