		Shame is a psychological condition and a form of religious, political, judicial, and social control consisting of ideas, emotional states, physiological states and a set of behaviors, induced by the consciousness or awareness of dishonor, disgrace, or condemnation.
		Shame differs from embarrassment in that it does not necessarily involve public humiliation: one can feel shame for an act known only to oneself, but in order to be embarrassed, one's actions must be revealed to others.

	Center for Transformational Psychotherapy: Shame (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-20)
		The basic nature of chronic, or excessive, shame is that the shamed person believes, at some level, that she--or he--should not exist, that she is a worthless, defective and empty human being.
		Because shame is an uncomfortable feeling, a person who is not overwhelmed by it can use it to alter his or her behavior.
		Because shame exists at the very core of one's being and because the shamed person believes his or her worthlessness is an incontrovertible fact, the shamed person doesn't recognize shame as the reason he or she feels worthless.

		Often this excessive shame is dealt with by humiliating someone perceived as weaker or more worthless than the shamed person (e.g., the family pet, women, Gays, or outside groups serve this function for both individuals and cultures).
		In thinking about how the concepts of guilt and shame apply in a culture, it is helpful to refer to a seminal work that was originally published by Benedict in 1946, where she discussed the collectivist culture of Japan during WWII and distinguished it from American culture.
		When a culture determines that the avoidance of shame is necessary no matter what the cost, the result is a culture of fanaticism, bizarre behavior in the name of "honor"; and simultaneously the cultural oppression, subjugation, and humiliation of women and others perceived as "weak" (and therefore "shameful").

	neo-neocon: For shame: murderers and terrorists
		In such cases, a person cannot stand feeling shame and is driven to great anger at the source of the shame and must remove it: either in actuality, by doing away with the person or a substitute; or by an intense explosion of rage expressed verbally.

	Shame (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-07-20)
		Shame can affect anyone's self-actualization, but may be especially potent for gifted individuals, who often have high sensitivity and other qualities that can support feelings of being an outsider or unworthy.
		Shame is connected with one's identity and sense of acceptance by others, and can disrupt and destabilize esteem and confidence in abilities, leading to a self-diminishing judgment: "If I feel this bad about myself, I must really be inferior."

		From the Judeo-Christian perspective, this propensity toward shame is understood as rooted in the spiritually-inherited rupture of our relationship with God, manifesting itself in an extreme self-centeredness and self-focus, which acts as a toxic filter letting in the destructive while keeping out the good.
