I think "online public shaming" is a way of makes people feel enbarrassed and gelling. If serious, some even make inpulsive bahavior. For example, in the entertainment circle, lots of idols bear handreds of or thousands of rumors everyday. Although some people may be tolerant, most of them bear great burden, and some of them choose to die. It is a rude way for everyone to broadcast ircorrect information. I haven't paticipated in or been a victim of cyber bullying. At most of time, i will ignore these public humiliation.I think the main cause of public humiliation is envy. Envy makes people irrational and do some crazy things.

1,I think "online public shaming" is a kind of personal attack happened on the internet.
2,For example, some students are suffering cyber bullying because someone posted their personal information and bare photos on the internet without their permission.
3,I did not participate any cyber bullying or been a victim.
4,I think people who are suffered cyber bullying should tell public the truth by the media or ask for the help in a legal way.

I think online public shaming is one of the most darkest collective behaviors, caused by apathy and lack of sympathy. For instance, cyber manhunt, hacker attack, broadcast news without confirm the validity…these have been gone on for quite a long time, far away the initial intention of blaming someone for their mistakes. We shall know everybody makes mistakes and everyone deserves a second chance, even criminals have the right to speak for themselves and own respect and dignity. Besides, there is always someone overwhelmingly appreciate their idols and forget they are also humans as we do, humans made of flesh and blood rather than steel, humans have imperfections and weakness, humans that express feelings and emotions.

‘’Seeing is believing’’is not always true, particularly when it comes to Internet, a virtual world. ''Title party'' has been so successful because they understand people’s psychology of peeping and curiosity. Profit drives this media industry at a quite fast, even mad speed. By using PS techniques even some bad means of taking words out of context, press can easily fool readers.

I do not think I have participate in cyber bulling in any way. however, when we click, like, follow ,this kind of bullying may have been performed without our awareness

1. I think online public shaming is a way that strangers do not need to be responsible for their words or acts to someone or something in public by online source.
2. I still remembered an ill patient was attacked by internet and then commit suicid.
3. I do not like cyber bullyin. Even I thought something is actually wrong, I will not take part in some accidents.
4. I think there are two reasons. One is that internet lacks protection. Another one is many people feel free to surf internet without any responsibility .

I think online public shaming is an immoral way to comment on others with bad words.
The reason for cyber bullying is newspapers or journalists give the wrong or not true news and the media lead he Internet users to the negative aspects

1. It is actually a moral problem of our society, or it is just human nature in brief. As the event in , when a noble elder died and the body corrupted in a quite short time, nearly all the resident got a fee of passion， which is sick. People tend to boost their own identities by judging others fault. Now we are in modern society, technique development brings us an even safer environment to hide ourselves behind the screen and pretend to be perfect.

2. It’s happening everyday. If I have to take one as example, I tend to choose a famous one, which is the relationship between BaoQiang Wang and his wife. Maybe Rong Ma has done something bad, but she shouldn’t be attacked by the whole public, it’s inhuman. The similar cases have covered all the entertainment circle.

3. The answers to the questions are all the same, yes. As bullying is happening everywhere, no one can be an exception. The question is we are mostly unconscious. On the contrary, we are eager to see more of these cases, as they are stimulations, which are different from our dull daily life.

4. It is human nature, but it is not how things should go. As education is the key to widen one’s wisdom, the lack of enlightenment may be the potential cause. Education can reflect nearly every aspect of our modern life, including family environment, school influence, social conduct etc.

I think the online public shaming is a rude way to express ideas. It will cause psychological harm to others. We should stop these naive behavior. I think there are many reasons why these phenomenon happen. Firstly, some media want to attract more attention by the breaking news. Therefore, they make some news not realiable. Secondly, the network spread very fast now. When the event occurred, many people will know it and comment it. The last but not least, on the internet we needn't tell others ourselves name. No one know who I am. This reason make people not pay attention to their words and ideas.

1. In my opinion, “online public shaming” is a kind of very thoughtless behavior, which is mainly caused by lacking social morality and sympathy, and is probably to make its victims feel shame or even desperate.

2. I think that many famous public figures, such as some famous actors and actresses, are very easily to be attacked by cyber bullying. Additionally, I remember that in 2015 a young person suffered from cyber bullying and was badly beaten in real world, which is just because the person who fought him disagreed his opinion online.

3. I never participated any cyber bullying and also have never been a victim of cyber bullying. Actually, I have my own ideas, but I seldom put them online. Furthermore, I am not interested in those online conflicts, so I have not been an audience of those cyber bullying.

4. There are two possible reasons. Firstly, users are all anonymous online, so they think they do not need to undertake responsibilities. Moreover, some people lack sympathy and conscience.
