How is it allowed to continue? The answer lies‚ in part‚ in the nature of shame itself. Shame is the most social of all emotions. The first experiences of shame mark the transition from purely selfish being to a set of motivations tempered by rules and boundaries which- although they may not be fully understood- are nonetheless enforced and obeyed.
