Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Shaming is a form of punishment that relies on social disapproval and humiliation rather than imprisonment. It is based on traditional rituals of publicly shaming individuals who have violated societal norms or laws. The idea is that the shame and embarrassment will deter the individual from repeating the behavior and also send a message to others in society about what is and is not acceptable behavior.
