End of Ronson

After completing So You've Been Publicly Shamed, I realized that Ronson's main point was how public shaming affects all its victims differently and the punishments are infinite. There is a constant fear of thinking, "These people didn't do such bad things, did they really deserve that?" No one would ever think that they would get fired from a tweet that someone else wrote about you. A certain piece in the book that reflects my statement was the case of Justine Sacco Ronson. She tweeted a heavy amount and someone disapproved of her actions and found them offensive. Although people believed that ganging up on someone on twitter is an effective way of learning a lesson, it destroyed her life. Publicly shaming can stem from a harmless situation leading to the most harmful life destroying punishment. For every conflict, there is a different justification. 

I think that the single most important thing that people should take away with from this book is that public shaming is human and we all do it, but it's about crossing the line. All people make mistakes and there are rational consequences to learn from our actions. Other crimes that are required for court, should be a fair decision amongst a certain amount of people. There are different problems and conflicts that should be under certain standards to determine the outcome.There should not be a mistake that will shadow you your whole life just because of social media. Public shaming is a phase that is humiliating but the point is driven in our heads. If, however, an incident is so terrible, there are always appropiate requirements met. Shaming is not meant for someone to then hibernate their entire life. It should be only for teaching lessons. Any other conflicts with unjustifiable consequences should be taken to higher authority census'.
