E9 Shame, cancel culture and worrying about other people's opinions too much - English discussion practice: Expressing opinions in English
Manage episode 430830036 series 3577242
😨 Why Am I So Afraid of Being ‘Cancelled’?
This week, César and I dive into one of my biggest fears—Cancel Culture. I explain in more detail why I (still) don’t use my face to promote this podcast and share my (hopefully) irrational anxiety about becoming the next person to be publicly shamed for an opinion I didn’t even realise was controversial.
In this episode, we discuss:
❌ What cancel culture actually is
💬 Why I’m nervous about expressing opinions online
📢 The pressure to not only think the ‘right’ thing but also say it loudly
📖 How past generations had more space to ‘learn’ without fear of social media backlash
🤔 Is shame always a bad thing, or can it serve a purpose?
