Question

2. What is the effect of the ""cancel culture"" actions on History? Is it socially responsible to remove unfavorable or sensitive history?

Answer 1

Cancel culture hasn't taken a huge effect on history other than "canceling" figures such as Christopher Columbus. Multiple monuments have been toppled or graffitied on that represent the dark spots in history, such as confederate leaders, colonizers, etc. Though the context in history books have not changed as much. Removing history from the books is no the responsibility of cancel culture. Cancel culture could be a possible threat to learning true history and how we came to be. We must learn true history to not make the same mistakes we did in the past. History will repeat itself.
