This House Regrets The Rise of Woke Culture

Woke Culture, at its etymological roots, is deeply connected with the socio-political issues facing disadvantaged minorities in a given wider society. Defined in the dictionary as ‘aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)’ - this view has inarguably become a social norm for our generation in the last decade. Is this rise in ‘Wokeism’ truly beneficial to the issues it attempts to solve, or has it gone to far?
