A cancel culture or a culture of disconnection does not escape anyone. In the 21st century, the public follows and observes everything through the prism of its own ethics. The public is all involved in the process of defining new social values. With the advent of the Internet and social networks in the daily life of the entire society, mistakes made by someone are no longer hidden but are public and available to everyone. The public draws its own conclusion on how to treat a person who has made a mistake. A mistake can produce a crisis situation that today can be caused by written or spoken words, as well as traditional causes of crisis. In addition, cancel culture is a term that can be seen and heard more and more often in different types of media. The aim of the paper is to show cancel culture on selected examples and to show attitudes about the cancel culture. The cancel culture is most often associated with social media and political correctness, but the aim of this paper is to present the culture as part of crisis communication.
