Defect

The vice indicates generally and not morals what is defective, the defect. In Moral, it is leaning become practice which the Morale religious or social rejects (out of sexual matter but not only), or an excessive defect.

The concept of defect varies little from one culture and one time to another, but its contents, which it indicates, are very changing. For example, the Athenian design ancient of sexuality: to appreciate a woman differently than as génitrice of a descent seemed grotesque with the roadbases of the population, without for all this homosexuality was felt like a value in oneself.

In a similar way, whereas avarice is, according to the Christian criteria, a mortal sin and that material poverty is an indication of moral purity, a social success founded on the capitalist model of the saving and the investment will be able to pass, in the modern societies Judeo-Christians (especially Protestant), for a model to be reached, provided naturally that the money is regarded as a Serviteur and not like a Maître: much to gain, yes, but for giving much (see Bill Gates, Warren Buffett…), which could not thus qualify Avarice.

This same concept, very fuzzy, also changes according to the individuals, in agreement with their clean Morale: such person will feel such practice like a defect, which will pass, with the eyes of another, for an even positive acceptable practice. Thus, for example, to smoke.

A board game with success, named Scruples, makes it possible to discover with which point in certain borderline cases one knows little the system of Valeurs sometimes of our close friends.

Judeo-Christianity

Among the examples of frequently quoted defects, because often rejected by the Moral S nuns Judeo-Christians, one finds, inter alia, the Bestialité (the Zoophilie), the Homosexualité (and especially the Sodomie), the Masturbation and the majority of the sexual practices not implying the only will of reproduction.

One can also quote the principal human defects, namely the Avarice, the selfishness, the Hypocrisie, the Intempérance, the Jalousie, the Oisiveté, the Orgueil (vice supreme for the Greek of the Antiquité, named Hubris , or hybris ), the Paresse, the Vanité, etc, which can recut some of the seven Péché S capital of Christian morals (each capital sin (or defect) being opposite of one of the theological or cardinal virtues).

The concept of social defect is closely related to that of vice monk.
