Shaming others make people feel good about themselves.

Shaming is for the weak.

Those strong of character assert the message of faith ... children are innocent, pure and respond well to love and joy ... it is incumbent on each of us, to help that happen.

Hearing that, many prefer to be shamed, it is easier

I think superiority complex explains a lot. So many people need to put down others to feel good about themselves. It's often a sign of weakness, insecurity and their own unhappiness. A strong person observes, tries to understand in broader relations and help.
I don't say we should tolerate and be oblivious to obvious wrongdoings such as drug abuse or reckless sex but if people feel entitled to slap around with their condemning tongues, they should be smart and competent enough to see why all of that happened and offer solutions on how to deal with a new situation.

People seem crazier than ever these days while the mental health "experts" are legitimizing many mental illnesses to be "normal"

What benefit does it make, none all if does is make the person being made fun of have less self-esteem

Society is full of Hypocrites.

the tradition of criticizing others without facts or merit is alive and well
