Cancel Culture: The Decline and Disconnect Within Society | Jasmine Iacullo | TEDxYouth@NBPS

Have you ever been cancelled? The toxic trend of cancel culture has emerged over the years and is in desperate need of diluting. This talk will go over the ins and outs of cancel culture and how you can put a stop to it, once and for all. Jasmine is a 16 year old sophomore, and it is her second year at North Broward Preparatory school. She is an accomplished performer and prominent member of the fine arts academy. Jasmine has been performing since age 4, and currently spends up to 8 hours a day rehearsing her singing, dancing, and acting. She enjoys bringing characters to life, and hopes to do the same with her ideas surrounding connection. She is passionate about connecting with others from the stage, and is happy to connect with you! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

This is why I no longer leave the house or speak to anyone. Lonely life is a peaceful life

United we stand, divided we fall... It was nice knowing ya all.

This video should be more popular.

It’s sad this has so few views. She’s addressing a topic that affects all of us in an understandable way. We weren’t created to thrive without love. If we cancel everyone out, we will all die much faster. The reason we cancel is because love is absent in our souls. Love is patient / long-suffering and is willing to ‘suffer long’ with someone’s strange idiosyncrasies. When people get blocked, it sometimes speaks more of the lack of love of the one who blocked them, rather than those who had gotten blocked. Unless the person who was blocked / cancelled, had no concern to be loving to the other person who blocked them. The person who loves you the most tells you the most truth about yourself, in a way of gentle concern.

We could collectively smoke a joint and watch Step Brothers together. That would fix everything

[@Vinnay94]

I don't smoke but I'll happily chill with you guys.

Did the comments get cancelled?

Who controls the past controls the future.. he who controls the present controls the past..😮

Welcome to the modern age my friend - the powers at be control most things unfortunately 😞

[@daveicc495]

The origins of Cancel Culture had started at the beginning of mankind. Cancel Culture has existed in religion ( the difference between which caused war), politics, economics, etc. It is not a new concept.

[@ivaolo]

very useful perspective, thank you

Smart young lady.

You sorely underestimate the amount of power and resources you need to have in order to convince the whole public to ostricize someone...

[@thenifell]

It's the same power (luck) you need to make a KZbin video. It becomes even easier when you shout about the nonsense in popular media. Its a safe topic that will rally the horde, without actually doing anything. It's not power, it's not brave, it's the same product on the bandwagon.

[@Vinnay94]

Yeah, having a higher Status certainly helps.

[@aarongibbs2260]

You underestimate how manipulative people can be. Technology has eased the access for nobody’s to have their voice heard all around the world. Unfortunately theres very very little regulation in majority of whats uploaded online so trying to assume something is right or wrong becomes difficult to an extent. Majority of society is lazy and will take things at face value, especially something they dint understand. It’s so easy to make people agree with you without any form of supporting empirical evidence.

[@samlair3342]

America’s culture wars have spilled over into geopolitics and have now gone so far as to directly support the enemies of democratic freedoms. I speak of both the ‘far right’ and the ‘far left’. Search: The Middle Way Quote: The challenge in walking the Middle Way is that extremists on both sides only see their enemy walking behind you.

This isn’t new just look at lynching pictures

She’s cute

[@anishnaabehistorypodcast7215]

Didn't watch the video, either.

Anything that gets in the way of someone providing for themselves and others are human rights violations

[@andrewserna28]

Bull, if you don’t like someone in real life you don’t force yourself to interact with them, move that to the internet is just a continuation of real world behavior

[@jacksonhaug8015]

Why not though? Not everyone gets along and agrees with everyone. But overcoming that fact and coexisting despite the fact sets us apart from the rest of the animals of this world. We HAVE to unite my brother our neighbors are NOT the enemy.

[@nextworldaction8828]

Up until recently if you wanted to be social you had to be around people, you had to do it around lots of other people probably in a somewhat public setting and you didn't really have control over who was going to be there. This was an important part of people's social worlds because there was always that person or two that annoyed you but you learned the skill of getting along instead of thinking you can control every space or have a "safe space". You're founding presumption just isn't accurate... There are many regularly occurring situations in a healthy society where you don't have control over who you're around.

[@andrewserna28]

@@jacksonhaug8015 I think we can coexist and still not have to talk to assholes in our daily lives

[@andrewserna28]

@@nextworldaction8828 true but also those groups would fight eventually war when they where in situations there side didn’t like. Birds of a feather and all is a saying for a reason
