You realise that you are doing something that is not socially acceptable, and the feeling of shame pushes you towards changing your behaviour. If you pee in your neighbour's flowerbed while drunk, you (hopefully) feel shame and try to behave better next time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">'Shame' is a word that entered the Swedish language in earnest in 2016 and means 'to make someone feel ashamed'. By deliberately shaming others, you can try to get them to change their behaviour. Interestingly, instead of the state pushing people in the desired direction with rules or economic instruments, citizens can control each other by changing social norms and shaming those who do not follow the new norms.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-3219609600\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88752\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-835929507 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-3349845764\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.adria-mobil.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"adria-freedom-top-banner-588x158px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-toppbanner-588x158px.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-2501470181\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ullbadden.se\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider835929507 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-835929507\" );$freedslider835929507.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider835929507.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider835929507.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider835929507.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider835929507.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/cat-3602557_1280-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Sk\u00e4mmas - flygskam och coronaskam\" class=\"wp-image-123735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/cat-3602557_1280-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/cat-3602557_1280-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/cat-3602557_1280-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/cat-3602557_1280-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/cat-3602557_1280-433x244.jpg 433w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/cat-3602557_1280.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-skammandet-ett-problem\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Skammandet_%E2%80%93_ett_problem\"><\/span>Shaming - a problem?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Controlling each other with social norms is not always wrong. On the contrary, it is probably good that we do it to a certain extent. Because what would society look like if everyone accepted everything? Few people want a society where it is ok to throw rubbish in the forest, do drugs at work or walk naked in the streets. At the same time, there is something in that shaming that gnaws at me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the height of flying shame, it almost became a competition to see who could best step on others to elevate themselves. Although we probably all<em> <\/em>living in a way that consumes the Earth's resources too quickly, and although it is often difficult to compare the effects of different behaviours, it became popular to point the finger. <\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg-2 freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-4250697760\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88753\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-4149430700 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-658374437\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elmia.se\/husvagn\/for-besokare\/biljetter\/?utm_source=freedomtravel&#038;utm_medium=banner&#038;utm_campaign=elmiahusvagn_kop_biljett_mars-sep\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ElmiaHusvagnHusbil_2026_FREEDOMtravel_vi_ses_2027_588x158-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-2392629398\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/husbilslandet.com\/i-lager?amount=-1&#038;vehicle_type=camper&#038;price=219000%2C8874149&#038;y=2005%2C2027&#038;weight=1000%2C18000&#038;rea=true\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Demo sale (588 x 158 px)\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px-.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px-.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/Demoutforsaljning-588-x-158-px--433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider4149430700 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-4149430700\" );$freedslider4149430700.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider4149430700.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider4149430700.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider4149430700.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider4149430700.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were voices everywhere, idealising the behaviours they themselves engaged in and devaluing the ones they managed to avoid, in an attempt to appear sinless.
