[edit] Humiliation studies and war

Important to this subject is the matter of the use of humiliation in war/human conflict -- particularly as it relates to the rape of women and the emasculation of men. The present appalling situation Darfur is a perfect example of this phenomenon. deeceevoice 15:11, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Humiliation in pop culture

I wonder if a section of this article could include an analysis of the extent that commercialization and marketing in Western society wields the perception of shame and humiliation i.e. "if you don't have an SUV, you're a sissy man" or "if you don't buy this diet product you'll be fat and ridiculous to everyone else" etc.

Humiliation also seems to play a large role in "reality television"--the competitions between people seem to have something to do with this very perfected persona that conforms to specific gender, race, class norms. --Erin1983 02:28, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Humiliation in animals

Tho it's not a crime, do animals feel shame/humiliation? If so, can someone write an article on it?--sin-man 10:19, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The "Social Defeat" Approach

Hello contributors to this issue,

I think the "Social Defeat" approach can contribute to improve the understanding of human aggression issues, like humiliation, bullying and others. Please read the "stub" i wrote in WIKIPEDIA:

Social defeat

Thank you for your attention,

[edit] Humiliation versus Embarrassment

I am uncertain about the difference between humiliation and embarrassment, and was curious to know if it would be better to combine the humiliation page with the embarrassment page. The page that focuses entirely on humiliation is vague and unhelpful and does not stand well on its own anyway. If, however, there is a difference between humiliation and embarrassment, then I think it would be helpful to discuss this topic on the humiliation page.
