SHUNNED Meaning and Definition

  1. Shunned is an adjective that describes the act of purposely avoiding or rejecting someone or something. It refers to the deliberate exclusion or isolation of an individual or entity from a social group or society as a result of their behavior, beliefs, or characteristics. When someone is shunned, they are typically ignored, avoided, or ostracized by others. Shunning can manifest in different ways, such as refusing to engage in conversation, interacting minimally or superficially with the shunned person, or completely cutting off all contact.

    This behavior can be a form of social punishment for actions considered morally or socially unacceptable, or it can stem from personal differences, prejudice, or group dynamics. Shunning can occur within various contexts, including families, communities, schools, or workplaces. It often results in feelings of loneliness, isolation, and exclusion, and can have detrimental effects on an individual's mental, emotional, and social well-being.

However, it can also serve as a means of protection, preserving the group's values, identity, or safety. Despite its potential justifications, shunning can also be seen as a harsh and severe punishment that denies individuals the opportunity for growth, redemption, or reconciliation.

    Overall, "shunned" describes the act of intentionally avoiding or rejecting someone or something, often resulting in their exclusion or isolation from a social setting.
