==Description==

'''Shunning''' can be the act of social [[rejection]], or mental rejection. Social rejection is when a [[person]] or group deliberately avoids [[association]] with, and habitually keeps away from an [[individual]] or group. This can be a [[formal]] decision by a group, or a less formal group [[action]] which will spread to all members of the group as a form of [[solidarity]]. It is a [[sanction]] against association, often associated with [[religious]] groups and other tightly knit organizations and [[communities]]. Targets of shunning can include [[persons]] who have been labeled as, [[apostates]], whistleblowers, [[dissidents]], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strikebreakers scabs], or anyone the group perceives as a threat or source of [[conflict]]. Social rejection has been established to cause [[psychological]] damage and has been categorized as [[torture]]. Mental [[rejection]] is a more [[individual]] [[action]], where a person [[subconsciously]] or willfully ignores an [[idea]], or a set of information related to particular [[viewpoint]]. Some groups are made up of people who shun the same [[ideas]].

Social [[rejection]] was and is a punishment used by many customary [[legal]] systems. Such [[sanctions]] include the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostracism ostracism] of ancient Athens and the still-used ''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasepekang kasepekang]'' in Balinese society.

''Stealth shunning'' is a [[practice]] where a [[person]] or an [[action]] is silently banned. When a person is silently banned, the group they have been banned from doesn't [[interact]] with them. This can be done by [[secretly]] announcing the [[policy]] to all except the banned [[individual]], or it can happen informally when all people in a group or email list each [[conclude]] that they do not want to [[interact]] with the person. When an [[action]] is silently banned, requests for that action are either [[ignored]] or turned down with faked [[explanations]]
