NOTES AND ASSEMBLY: Ostracism: A Social Clique has assumed Authoritarian Power over a Scapegoat. They are acting like Police Sociopaths and in my experience the Family, Gang or Clique had often, through defamation, compromised my relationship with Authority and the Police as well

I was excluded from Music Society in Victoria, not by all, but by some group I did not actually know. I was from out of town.

One of the exclusionary factors was that I was not really ``striving`` to gain employment as a Musician  as I owned a Record Store. At the time I always owned my rural home, but I was in debt or obligated and I would have to pay out far more than my ``Asset``was worth. I was worthless, a hollowed out owner of nothing.

DEFAMATION SETS UP A  FALSE JUSTIFICATION FOR OSTRACISM.

Study 4). But if participants knew that the target previously deviated from a norm, knowledge about the situation had a stronger effect on moral judgments (Study 5) than social dissimilarity. These findings further our understanding of how observers make moral judgments about ostracism, which is important given that an observer's moral judgment can strongly impact bystander behavior and thus target recovery and well-being.

 general ignoring, neglect, exclusion, differential treatment,and undermining. 

The experience of feeling invisible, of being excluded and rejected from the social interactions of those around, of being treated as though one did not belong with the others or even exist, has been demonstrated as a pervasive phenomenon across a broad range of social contexts (Williams, 2001). Such experiences are often collected under the term ostracism (Williams, 1997, 2007), but are also reflected in a number of related words and phrases. In everyday language, terms such as “shunning,” “avoiding,” “estrangement,” “exiling,” “expulsion,” “banishment,” “ignoring,” “giving someone the silent treatment,” “freezing someone out” and “giving the cold shoulder” are examples of acts and experiences likely to reflect variants and manifestations of the ostracism phenomenon (Williams, 1997, 2001). However, this diversity in terms is also evident in the scholarly literature. For example, shunning specifically refers to “the deliberate and systematic exclusion of an individual who was once an included member of the group” (Anderson, 2009). Rejection has been used to refer to an explicit declaration that one is refused when seeking to form and maintain at least a temporary alliance or relationship with a group or an individual (Leary, 2005; Blackhart et al., 2009), while social exclusion denotes situations where the target is denied valued social contact with others (Twenge et al., 2001). Importantly, these constructs seem to be rooted in the same underlying phenomenon, and are often used interchangeably to refer to “a general process of social rejection or exclusion” (Gruter and Masters, 1986). Although semantic and psychologically meaningful distinctions among these constructs are apparent (Williams, 2007), such specific behaviors as exclusion, shunning, ignoring and rejecting share the core characteristic that they all involve omission of socially appropriate behavior, resulting in a feeling of not being included, acknowledged or accepted among those targeted (Robinson et al., 2013). We therefore collectively place such experiences under a broader construct labeled ostracism, which can be characterized by both acts of omission as well as open acts of social exclusion.
