BLOG POST #3: For fame or for shame?

Living in the twenty-first century, it is already bad enough that young adolescents shame others because of their appearance, however nowadays even parents are shaming their own children as well? This is something that people have been noticing for quite a while and don't do anything but just sit there in amusement and read these kinds of posts about parents shaming their children. There is a difference between blaming someone and shaming someone. When putting the blame on someone, you're telling that person that they did something wrong whereas shaming is when you are telling the person that they are indeed something bad.

Not too long ago on the social media world, a man had posted a photo of a young child on Instagram. This photo included a four-picture collage of a young boy with part of his hair shaved off of his head. The man who co-owns this barber shop tells others that he was inspired to do something like this after he had seen results on something once he tried this out. Frederick, the man who co-owns the shop was upset about the fact that his twelve year old son was getting bad grades. After giving him this certain unpleasant haircut on a twelve year old boy, his school grades went up high significantly. The dad of this boy had a reason for giving the haircut to his son. "Parents are at a loss. When you go to discipline kids these days, they can't necessarily use physical punishment the way parents did in the past, but they have to so something." Some people believe to see shaming someone as a form of discipline and can be ineffective or even destructive.

Some people would agree with this method of shaming their kids, however, I am appalled about this. Shaming someone is not only disrespectful, but it also makes the other person feel self-conscious about themselves. In my opinion, I think that people only post photos to shame people, however they want to receive fame from this. Posting something like this would receive a lot of feedback from those who see it making them think that the purpose of these kinds of posts are for humour and entertainment. Parents need to stop sharing photos of their behaviour online and brag about it. It's degrading enough for the child to live with it and know that the whole world is able to see it. Putting children in a situation like this is able to humiliate them to promote bullying, not to discipline them.
