Why choose this project topic?
The problem of whether public shaming can be justified as informal accountability offers a clear debate with competing reasons and possible objections. A limited set of primary readings and carefully explained cases helps you develop an independent argument rather than simply summarising philosophers.
Which conclusions about whether public shaming can be justified as informal accountability are justified by critical examination of philosophical accounts of dignity, punishment and social sanction?
Choose the main philosophical interlocutors and a small set of cases, then narrow the argument about whether public shaming can be justified as informal accountability.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Clarify the key concepts involved in whether public shaming can be justified as informal accountability.
- 02Reconstruct the competing arguments in philosophical accounts of dignity, punishment and social sanction.
- 03Compare evidence, proportionality and opportunities for response in fictional online and offline cases.
A suggested research approach
Select accessible editions of philosophical accounts of dignity, punishment and social sanction and define the central terms before defending a position. Compare evidence, proportionality and opportunities for response in fictional online and offline cases. Make premises explicit, address a strong objection to the preferred account, and distinguish hypothetical illustrations from factual evidence.
What you will need
- Lawful access to philosophical accounts of dignity, punishment and social sanction
- An argument map addressing whether public shaming can be justified as informal accountability
- A supervisor-agreed philosophical framework and complete citation records
Keep your project scope clear
The project must not expose private individuals or treat accusations as established wrongdoing.
