Each of us is a member of a society in which traditionally there is a certain model of behavior that is considered normal. It is enshrined in the concept of universal values. And most importantly, it does not violate the norms of morality and ethics, does not harm others. However, there are people who do not follow him. On the contrary, they, neglecting moral principles, commit immoral acts that harm the rest of society. Such people are called deviants, and their behavior is unacceptable.
Turning to Spirituality
Many immoral acts are immoral, not only from a human point of view, but also from a religious point of view. Take, for example, greed. An unhealthy craving for material wealth often pushes people to commit terrible acts, with the help of which they manage to satisfy their greed.
Pride, one of the seven deadly sins in Catholicism, also belongs to immoral qualities. Excessive arrogance and disrespect for other people do no better. Just like adultery. Adultery is a sin, an immoral act, betrayal and humiliation of the one to whom the oath of allegiance was given. The person who committed it is not worthy of trust, respect and good relations.
Vanity is perceived by many as a socio-psychological property of the individual, which, however, does not paint people. Often they are selfish, arrogant, constantly hungry for the belief in their own superiority. It would seem, is it bad to value and love yourself? No it is OK. But only vanity implies displaying all of the above, which is usually done through humiliation or neglect of other people.
Famous Examples
Many of us have long ceased to notice the immoral acts of people who are found at almost every step. A vivid example can be considered the use of obscene expressions, observed everywhere. Foul language is speech saturated with indecent expressions. They are also called obscene. Why? Because they are shameless, and therefore violate public morality.
The abuse, which has long become familiar and has lost the ability to shock members of modern society, has almost ceased to fall into the category of immoral acts. In contrast to insults, which are a deliberate derogation of the dignity and honor of a person. And such immoral acts as insults are punishable by law. All provisions relating to this are prescribed in Article 5.61 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
Contradictory Behaviors
If a person commits an immoral act, then he definitely does not fit into the generally accepted moral framework. But it corresponds to certain forms of behavior that are contrary to the norms. There are several of them. These are drug addiction, substance abuse, prostitution, crime, alcoholism and suicide.
It is believed that a person adheres to one form or another of behavior for one of three reasons. The first, most widespread in modern society, is inequality on the social ladder.
Everything is simple here. A person’s behavior and upbringing are affected by his income. The smaller it is, the higher the probability of personality degradation. Many people try to cope with disappointment in their lives with drugs or alcohol. They cannot be blamed for the lack of an internal “core”. Poverty is indeed a psychological challenge.
External factors
The commission of an immoral act by a person who follows some form of behavior may also depend on his environment. It is no secret to anyone that the thoughts and actions of a person are often formed under the influence of family, friends, colleagues, classmates. Unfortunately, those people who grew up surrounded by individuals with immoral behavior and saw nothing but deviant actions, begin to consider everything like this to be the norm.
The environment and society are one of the fundamental causes that shape human consciousness. Often, the eradication of immoral acts requires the help of sociologists who work not with one guilty individual, but with a whole group of people.
The level of education is also important. Sometimes people do not know about such basic concepts as “morality” and “morality” because of their ignorance. Rules, norms and traditions should be passed from generation to generation, and this is the task of parents. But some people simply forget to raise their children and instill in them an awareness of how to act, and how not to.
Attitude towards animals
One cannot help but pay attention to the immoral acts of people regarding our smaller brothers. Cruelty to animals is not only a crime, but also an acute moral issue. Individuals who allow themselves to be mistreated by our smaller brothers are not accepted by a normal, modern society. They are condemned and condemned by other people.
Animal cruelty is a real immoral act. It does not pose a threat to public safety. Nevertheless, it is unacceptable and unacceptable from a different, moral point of view.
Real cases
In our life, there are a variety of immoral acts. And you will not wish even the enemy to become their victims or witnesses.
How many situations are known when sons got drunk to an insane state and threw fists at their mothers. Or when someone loved by a pet was subjected to cruel actions by young deviants for fun. Often, many people have witnessed suicide, which also applies to this category of behavior. And of course, none of us is immune from betrayal for the personal benefit of a trusted person.
When you realize how often these and similar cases occur, it becomes extremely clear that morality in modern society, unfortunately, is by no means in the first place in the value system.
Bad manners
Speaking about moral and immoral acts, it is worth mentioning that the latter also include behavior that is perceived by many as elementary uncouthness and bad manners.
And examples of this accompany us in everyday life. In public transport, one can often see a picture of how ill-bred individuals push in front of those walking in order to quickly leave the salon. At the exit from the premises, many do not hesitate to slam the door right in front of the nose of those who follow them, without even looking back.
But most often, perhaps, there are individuals who openly violate the rules of the hostel. They put garbage on the landing, smoke in the porch without opening the windows, violate sanitation and hygiene in other ways. This is also immoral. Examples surround us everywhere, but many of them we have ceased to notice, because, sadly as they were, they have moved into the category of everyday life.
