Expert Solution
Step 1

Cancel culture is otherwise referred to as call-out culture. This culture is a modern form of ostracism in which an individual is forcibly driven out of a social group or professional group. This could take place in online forums, social networking groups or in person. The individuals who are subjected to this practice is known to be cancelled. This is known to have a vile effect socially and is not considered as a good practice. This culture has ostracized people correctly and also wrongly.
