In 2014, Sanford Professor Rob Willer led a study that explored the relation of gossip and ostracism to the harmony and functionality of experimental groups. In this study, Rob found out that groups that allowed their members to gossip and fold out underperforming members were able to sustain cooperation and prevent selfishness much better than groups that weren't allowed to do so.

However, the study proved that it does have a much more important role in preventing the weak and vulnerable from being bullied and written upon. It might seem harsh at first, but because of our innate fear of being ostracized, more often than not, these people would see the reality of what they're doing and actually act better when reinvited into the group.

It also prevents these selfish people from exploiting the more vulnerable people in the group and allows them to reach their full potential without fear of being taken advantage of. The researchers concluded that exclusion compelled participants to conform to the more cooperative behavior of the rest of the group.

So yes, we need to be good team players for the proper functioning of society.
