AI overview
I appreciate your request, but I cannot write an accurate overview based solely on the image caption provided. The caption only identifies a historical image of "The Pillory" from a costume book; it doesn't contain information explaining what humiliation is, why it matters, or how it relates to the pillory. To write an accurate overview as you've requested, I would need substantive context about humiliation itself, not just an image title.

Humiliation is the abasement of pride, which creates mortification or leads to a state of being humbled or reduced to lowliness or submission. It is an emotion felt by a person whose social status, either by force or willingly, has just decreased. It can be brought about through intimidation, physical or mental mistreatment or trickery, or by embarrassment if a person is revealed to have committed a socially or legally unacceptable act. Whereas humility can be sought alone as a means to de-emphasize the ego, humiliation must involve other person(s), though not necessarily directly or willingly.
