In other words, humiliation and isolation are experienced as intensely as physical pain.[7] Many now-obsolete public punishments were deliberately designed to be humiliating, e.g. tarring and feathering lawbreakers, pillory, "mark of shame" (stigma) as a means of "making an example" of a person and presenting a deterrent to others. In folk customs such as the English skimmington rides and rough music (and their continental equivalents, such as the French Charivari), dramatic public demonstrations of moral disapproval were enacted to humiliate transgressors and drive them out of the community.[8] Emotional Competency article on Humiliation	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-681.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-681.txt
