Shaming... it's been a thing for a long, long time. Why?

When a person has already completed something, what is the point in shaming them about it? Is it to make them a mockery so others within society don't do the same thing those who shame/mock about? How is shaming/mocking the person helpful to the person? What is done is done. Apparently, shaming/mocking people helps societies become stronger? How?

I find this "shaming" concept interesting within societies but also find it horrendous based on mental health aspects. Some seem to think they are doing their society a 'favor' but what I see is people contributing to more harm. What do you think?

Here's just one of many examples:

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.

@CrazyMusicLover Some folks do not want to take the time to understand or even fathom anothers' position in life or how they got there. I agree that some folks put others down in order to feel better about themselves.

I do not think most folks think about new solutions upon Any situation of others'. They seem to generally go on what they've heard from others.

In my opinion, self-determination is one of the keys...
