E.177. Understanding Woke Culture
Manage episode 483606627 series 3365028
"Woke culture" refers to a broader awareness of social inequalities and a push for social justice, often encompassing issues like racism, sexism, and discrimination against LGBTQ+ individuals. It originated in the African American community as a call to action, but has become a term used more broadly to describe a collective awareness and activism around social issues. While it started as a positive term, "woke" has also been adopted as a pejorative term by some, particularly on the political right, to criticize leftist and progressive movements, often accusing them of being insincere or performative.
