Original Prompt

Related to Wokism you have created an excellent worksheet for an adult ESL student. I would like to ask you to create another worksheet (Woke2) related to woke and wokism, but one that presents the conservative critique of woke: i.e. wokism largely originates from cultural marxism (Frankfurt School), Marcuse's and other's concepts, i.e. oppressor/oppressed. What is ’identity politics’, ’political correctness’, ’cancel culture’, ’culural appropriation’, ’queer’, and ’Palestinianism’ etc. and how

This learning resource facilitates students' understanding of conservative critiques of wokism. The focus is on analyzing its theoretical basis and connections to concepts like cultural Marxism and postmodernism, with a critical look at social discrimination. Key topics include the history of Critical Theory, prominent figures of the Frankfurt School, and the impact of identity politics on contemporary discourse. Students engage with important sociological terms, explore Herbert Marcuse's ideas on repressive tolerance, and evaluate case studies through progressive and conservative lenses. Additionally, reflective and analytical exercises encourage deeper engagement with classical liberalism compared to critical theory frameworks, fostering critical thinking about free speech, merit systems, and group rights.
