In this blog post I am going to explore the American zeitgeist that I would like to use for my research project through some questions. A zeitgeist is the spirit of a time period.
The zeitgeist I am going to be researching is cancel culture. Cancel culture is "to announce on behalf of the rest of the population that a certain celebrity will henceforth no longer be relevant and/or popular, usually as a result of their own actions – thus their career is now cancelled." This zeitgeist affects pretty much anyone who is involved deeply into social media and the internet. It affects celebrities and influencers that are to be believed to do something wrong. This zeitgeist has existed for a long time, but has changed as we and the internet changed. I really am not a fan of cancel culture. Most of the time it starts on twitter. Whenever someone I know of is being canceled, I used to be really upset and believe it immedietly. I now know that it is not always true and if there is no evidence of something it most likely isn't true. I really want people to know this fact, because it is so easy to jump to conclusions.
