Document Summary
Ex: bernard madoff -> very important person in the financial district and gave alot of money away. Had an investment firm and was widely regarded as the most successful firm and it turned out that his firm was a fosmy scheme, not a successful investor. He was seen as very successful and presented himself that way, however was convicted and expressed his shame and bad feelings about himself. Ex: mark madoff -> was not involved in the scheme, however was found hanged after his father was convicted. He had been suffering with shame, suffering the disgrace his father had inflicted on him and told his surroundings that this whole thing became too much for him. Sense of shame, guilt and regret and being scrutinized was too much to handle. Human beings think about ourselves not like other organisms share to the same extent.
