USUALLY ANYONE WHO CONSIDERS THEMSELVES TO BE A WRITER/JOURNALIST/RESEARCHER WOULD NOT NEED TO LOOK UP THE DEFINITION OF THE WORD, IGNOMINIOUS. EVEN MORE TO THE POINT THERE IS NO RATIONAL REASON TO LOOK UP THE SYNONYM IGNOMINIOUS SINCE IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT THE DEFINITION IS A SYNONYM IS LESS ACCURATE.

IGNOMINITY IS NOT IMPOSED UPON ANYONE BY ANOTHER PERSON. THAT UNIQUE TITLE IS ONLY EARNED BY THE PERSON WHO BEARS THE TITLE. IT IS THEIR OWN ACTIONS THAT EARN THEM THAT TITLE. MERELY SOCIETY OBSERVES THAT THEY HAVE EARNED IT AND IS ADDRESSED AS AN IGNOMINIOUS PERSON. SUCH HAS BEEN THE FATE OF MANY PUBLIC SERVANTS WHO BROUGHT DISREPUTE AND SHAME BY BETRAYING THE PUBLIC TRUST. IT IS NOT RESERVED FOR JUST PUBLIC SERVANTS.

PRIVATE CITIZENS HAVE ALSO BROUGHT SHAME TO THEMSELVES BY IGNOMINIOUS ACTS AGAINST SOCIETY.
