SHUNNING Meaning and Definition

1. Shunning is a social behavior or practice wherein individuals purposefully and intentionally avoid or reject association, communication, and interaction with a particular person or group. It involves actively excluding or ostracizing someone, often as a means of expressing disapproval or disavowal towards their beliefs, actions, or behavior.

   Shunning is typically employed as a form of social sanction or punishment within a community or group. It can be both overt and covert, involving a range of actions such as ignoring, snubbing, or isolating the individual from social activities or events. Moreover, shunning can extend beyond personal interactions to include exclusion from social circles, withdrawal of support, or even denial of services.

   The act of shunning often stems from a moral, religious, or cultural disagreement, where an individual or group is deemed to have violated social norms, values, or established customs. It can serve as a mechanism for enforcing conformity and maintaining order within a community, often with the aim of exerting social pressure to induce conformity or repentance.

   Shunning, however, can have significant psychological and emotional consequences for the targeted individual. It can lead to feelings of rejection, isolation, and alienation, thereby causing distress and impacting their overall well-being.

   Overall, shunning is a social practice that involves intentionally avoiding and excluding someone from social interactions and support networks due to disapproval or disagreement with their actions, beliefs, or behavior.
