ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed” by Jon Ronson explores the phenomenon of public shaming in the digital age, particularly on social media. Through real-life case studies, such as Justine Sacco’s viral tweet and Jonah Lehrer’s journalistic scandal, Ronson delves into the psychological, social, and moral implications of online outrage. The book examines how shame is amplified by the internet, turning personal mistakes into public spectacles with lasting consequences. It critically examines themes of justice, empathy, and the addictive nature of online mob behavior, urging readers to reflect on the ethics of shaming and its impact on human behavior.
