The paper above sheds light on the disconcerting and archaic practices of public humiliation within Academia—a tradition that appears to have been imported from the United States, reminiscent of the outdated public whipping still employed in countries governed by Sharia Law, as depicted in the second image below. It's noteworthy that in the very same US, a person attempting theft from a Walmart store in Ohio was subjected to public humiliation for eight hours a day over ten days to avoid incarceration.

Unfortunately, the predictable outcome was a sparing of the bankers from any public humiliation, a regrettable circumstance that ironically underscores the hypocritical nature of the situation.
