Is Shame Necessary? The Functions of Feeling Ashamed

Shame used to be society's way of regulating ethics and enforcing norms. But it was rejected as too repressive and toxic. However, living without shame has created huge problems - reality TV antics, social media oversharing, political incivility, the spread of misinformation, etc. This episode explores whether we need to bring back productive forms of shame in order to restore decency and shared values. Judicious shaming around issues like racism, corruption and greed could help reinforce social morality. Discover how proper shame builds character and why societies can't function without it
