Cancel Culture Edit Summary
Part I want to edit:

A poll of American registered voters conducted in July 2020 shows that cancel culture, defined as "the practice of withdrawing support for (or canceling) public figures and companies after they have done or said something considered objectionable or offensive", was common. 40% of respondents said they had withdrawn support from public figures and companies, including on social media, because they had done or said something considered objectionable or offensive, 8% having engaged in this often. Behavior differed according to age, with a majority (55%) of voters 18 to 34 years old saying they have taken part in cancel culture, while only about a third (32%) of voters over 65 said they had joined a social media pile-on. Attitude towards the practice was mixed, with 44% of respondents saying they disapproved of cancel culture, 32% who approved, and 24% who didn't know or had no opinion. Furthermore, 46% believed cancel culture had gone too far, with only 10% thinking it hadn't gone far enough. However, a majority (53%) believed that people should expect social consequences for expressing unpopular opinions in public, especially those that may be construed as deeply offensive to other people.

Hey Sal!

Your edits seem great so far. The paragraph you chose to edit was confusing to read right off the bat so I’m glad that you chose to deconstruct it a little. First off, I appreciate how you switched around the sentences to provide something grammarly correct. Is that why you edited it or do you think the paragraph needed some general work? There are still a few spelling error in your edit and I can see that those citations are coming soon.

I’d suggest creating something or finding a picture of a poll. All of those percentages are a bit confusing. There is also reiteration in the original paragraph so maybe creating something more concise can help? Hope this helps!
