According to the CIA Factbook, the number of people who are using English as their first or second language is around 84 million. If you include the number of people using English as a foreign language, the number has grown to 1.1 billion. The crucial reason why English became dominant was World War II. Before it, the U.S. was experiencing the Great Depression because of a lack of effective demand. However, as World War II occurred, the demand exploded. The economy flourished again.

It usually occurs on social media, where sensitive information spreads quickly, and people are free to express their opinions. J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, faced lots of boycotts and backlash from her fans, movie actors and fellow authors. This was after making transphobic comments on her X (formerly known as Twitter) account.

He was accused of school bullying and traumatizing the victim. He soon left the group and sincerely apologized to the victim. Thus, cancel culture can be a powerful tool for finding justice and making people accountable for the...

So, because of the summarizing of information, students can apply important main concepts to their problems in a short period of time, or they can find out what questions to ask in order to get the result they want.
