The term 'woke' originated in African American Vernacular English as a call to stay awake to the injustices faced by Black communities.
The term 'woke' has evolved and been diluted, leading to debates on excessive political correctness, cancel culture, performative activism, and systemic change.
Social media plays a significant role in amplifying and polarizing the culture wars, making it easier to retweet slogans than engage in meaningful dialogue.
The crux of the issue lies not in being too woke or not woke enough but in being apathetic to fundamental values like justice, truth, and humanity.
