Boys Go to Jupiter Analysis

Introduction

Online shaming is a culture that grows by the day. “Boys Go to Jupiter” by Evans

considers Claire as the center of this aspect that constitutes an address on the bikini she gets and

posts online that leaves her getting shammed by the rest of the population at her small liberal arts

college (Evans, 641-656). She draws attention to becoming the talk of a small-scale social media

scandal. Various activities take place over the internet, and it is critical to ensure that when

browsing or uploading, one considers the positive elements and champion them. By embracing

the positive attributes, one venture into creating a community that entails a critical portfolio for

building a morally upright generation that understands the need for good in society. The paper

addresses cancel culture as reflected by Evans in their short story that covers Claire’s past and

her picture getting on the internet that results in various developments concerning her self-

involved choices that leave her sympathetic even when she gets unlikable.

Boys Go to Jupiter on Cancel Culture

“Boys Go to Jupiter” is a story that encompasses the various perception of society in

today’s world. The coming of the internet is a conceptualization that has created a critical

development concerning how people define what is morally acceptable. The technology works

well among those venturing in growing their profession among the youth population (Evans,

639-656). It is a venture that indicates the internet gets embraced and exploited by the young

generation compared to the old generation. Technically, it is prolific to understand that by

gauging what we upload over the internet, we get in control of what others get to think of us. The

cancel culture helps distinguish between those who use the internet appropriately and those that

misuse it to mislead others (Evans, 652-660). The ex-communication of the population that fails

to conform to the internet guidelines is the attribute observed in this motive. It is critical to

understand that the literature addresses the escapades that Claire faces when she returns to

college but fails to consider what others think of her (Mishan). Behind every picture that gets

uploaded, there must exist a perception, and it can get followed by criticism or applause; we

must learn to live with this.

Online shaming follows the development of trying to solve the fundamental issues that

buffet society. Evans addresses this measure through the short story that shows how society takes

everything differently. Technically, getting excommunicated from society is a paradigm that

entails the appropriation of solving the mystery behind creating a barrier from poisoning the rest

of the community with ideals that do not entail progression (Evans, 644-659). “Boys Go to

Jupiter entails the attribute of showing the rest of the population how to act lest they experience

the cancel culture that constitutes the development of society excluding them due to their

nuisances. The literature addresses the most critical component that must get followed to avoid

getting excommunicated (Mishan, 2-6). Technically, it constitutes setting standards that must get

followed by the wider population when it comes to exploiting the internet. The venture and spirit

of conforming to internet guideline use are essential as it identifies and controls those with

malicious intent when using the internet (Evans, 641-656). Mastering the art of exploiting the

internet is a critical framework that promotes a positive community. Economies incline to grow

from this appropriation; the U.S. is a leading country that has benefited from the coming of the

internet as it controls its use in a variable dynamic.

Modern society is in flux to exploit technological trends, and this must get controlled, as

addressed by Evans in their short story. The internet is a powerful tool that can influence the rest

of the population, which plays an integral role in growth and development (Mishan, 1-8).

Technically, the experience of Claire having to put on a bikini, which is not her trait as described

in the story, implies the accentuation of sticking to elements that we derive from the online

platform. It is mandatory to initiate a paradigm of progress in the face of seeking deliberate

development as learned from the story. The layers of tragedy in Claire’s encounter areare the

disposition of showing us what goes on in society. As indicated in the story, the conduct of

activities over the internet is something I find to be wary of. It mirrors society by addressing the

consequences and benefits of the internet in one paradigm. Sometimes, we are inclined to do

things that negatively portray us, which must not deter us from being who we truly are. Getting

distracted is common, but it is always fundamental to consider getting to do the right thing at the

end of the day.

Conclusion

Evans’ characterization focuses on building a connection between the internet and real-

life encounters through their short story. Technically, online shaming works to bring out the best

in someone or cool them down depending on various variables. It is fundamental that "Boy Go to

Jupiter" exemplifies the scope of increasing cancel culture as the internet grows. Online shaming

is inclined to work as the control on what individuals must upload over the internet to develop a

conceptualization that entails a balance in society. Through cancellation, I believe society aligns

to become livable as it helps to create clarity concerning the norms that must get followed for the

realization of progress. Evans uses their story to indicate the limits developed to ensure society

fundamentally adapted to the increasing technological trends. It is substantial that the population

become aware of the possibility embedded in technology, especially the internet, to create a

future transformation.
