DERMATOLOGY AND SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES

Shame can be useful: when we publicly shame corrupt politicians, arrogant celebrities or greedy corporations, we defend honesty and strengthen our collective sense of justice. However, Cathy O'Neil, the author of the bestseller "Weapons of Mathematical Destruction", argues that shaming today has taken on a whole new, sinister dimension. Today, instead of serving as a positive correction of behavior, shame has become a weapon in the hands of governments, corporations, institutions and organizations that exploit the condition of constant humiliation of entire categories of people in various ways.

• In-depth analysis of the phenomenon of shame in society
• Economic, social and political aspects of shaming
• Practices of the diet and pharmaceutical industries
• The role of social media in shaming
• The relationship between shame and power
• Ways to resist the humiliation industry

Whether it is cynical profiteering, mass manipulation or the need to shed responsibility for social problems, ultimately all individuals are victims of the "shame machine". O'Neil discusses the economic, social and political dimension of the issue, describing, among others, the practices of the diet and pharmaceutical industries, health care systems, governments, political parties and media corporations. She also analyzes the phenomenon of shaming in social media. By showing the complex relationship between shame and power, O'Neil exposes whose interests this whole repulsive industry of humiliation serves and how we can resist it.
