- f) Provide examples of cancel culture in 1984.
in the first few chapters Goldstein appeared in the two minutes of hate which is kind like the books own way of cancel culture where everyone in the room for two minutes was hating and screaming profanities because they disagreed with the person. how ever Goldstein was talking about having freedom but this is something people disagree with in 1984 because they need to follow the orders of big brother.

no, just because people disagree with someone doesn’t give them the right to cancel someone
