Shame is an integral component of functional society. Without it we might all behave indiscriminately in each our own self interest with no regard for our fellow humans. It is a mechanism of encouraging compliance with societal standards. It is a natural response to evaluation of oneself relative to standards and is a motivator for improvement. It is one of the bonds by which society is forged. It's absence suggests apathy.

Were you raised in a Catholic orphanage? Shame is not integral to anything but personal morality if ascribed to by the individual.
