Shunning, the act of deliberately avoiding association with and keeping away from a specific group or person. It is most often associated with religious groups and tightly controlled organizations. These groups use shunning as a punishment for individuals who have in some way egregiously violated the rules of the group; it is a means of organisational influence and control.

Shunning applies to Church discipline, an example to be found among the Jehovah's Witnesses. They are still required to shun disfellowshipped members.

Yes, some people still shun others today for various reasons such as differences in beliefs, lifestyles, or actions. Shunning can manifest in social exclusion, avoidance, or ostracism, and it is often used as a form of punishment or coercion within certain communities or social groups.
