Still, opinions on the matter differ, and some do believe public shaming – in 2019, as it did in the days of Ancient Greece – can play a vital social role in keeping people in line.

One professor of sociology and criminology, for example, said shaming allowed society to single out and sanction people for acts that while not illegal, were morally wrong. It was sort of like a “massive slap from the community,” she said. It was about setting standards, and telling people they needed to be more compassionate and kind.
