Public Shaming is defined as a form of punishment whose main feature is dishonoring or disgracing a person, usually an offender or a prisoner, especially in a public place. It was regularly used as a form of judicially sanctioned punishment in previous centuries and is still practiced by different means in the modern era. Nowadays it is most commonly seen on social media sites such as Twitter. On Twitter people feel like they are morally obligated or at least allowed to speak their opinions on any subject they come across. This has also led to some people creating "troll" accounts for the sole purpose of public shaming others at their expense. My personal view on public shaming is that it should not be employed at any time. There are ways to speak an opinion about something one dislikes that is not attacking the individual person. The examples that I was exposed to in class were horrifying examples of how society glorifies bringing down people. Some big takeaways from those examples include making sure one does not post anything that could be deemed as explicit. When people come across posts that they do not deem favorable it is important that they express that in a way that does not shame the individual who posted the information.
