The Psychology of “Callout Culture”

January 25, 2019

The "Callout Culture" of the present is our term for the consistent culture of being overly critical or petty about the decisions of others. That said, is it fair to put current cultural standards on past behaviors? Or do higher societal standards require more accountability?

Callout culture feels like there's a lack of room for individual growth.
