In fact, sharing this type of “reputational information” has lot of benefits to wards society. The nature of Ostracism and Gossip was explored by Robb Willer, an associate professor of sociology with the help of co-authors. It is presented by the researches that these two has positive effects and are considered as serving tools with which the groups mess up the utilization of good people and reform bullies and bring up cooperation. It is said by Feinberg that “Groups that allow their members to Gossip.” “Sustain cooperation and deter selfishness better than those that don’t. And groups do even better if they can gossip and ostracize untrustworthy members. While both of these behaviors can be misused, our findings suggest that they also serve very important functions for groups and society.”
