Immoral Behaviour

[SirDeadly]

Hi guys, for a uni presentation I need to talk about moral and social development. One of the sections is about famous cases of immoral behaviour, eg. the Nazi's or Jack the Ripper. Does anyone have another example of immoral behaviour that I could possibly talk about? I can't think of anything at the moment, it's been a long day.

Is that really so hard?
9/11, Utøya, Charlie Manson, pick-up artists, date-rapists, frauds, etc.

What is moral and what is immoral?


Depends on who you ask. You ask a Muslim, a Christian a Hindu and an Atheist and you'll get a wide variety of answers.

If you want examples of "Immoral" behavior then wars are your first stops. The obvious examples from WW2 are the Nazi's in both their experiments and gas chambers. However... have a look over at the Japanese prisinor of war camps. Have a look at what they did to American POW's when the Yanks cut off Jap supplies via bombing and they started to starve... have a look at what they ate, or rather who.

pick-up artists

Being a pick-up artist is immoral? Like someone who is able to meet and date women with ease? Or do we have different definitions?

On Topic:
See other thread for my response

When I say "pick-up artist" I am talking about the kind of person who employs disgusting methods to use women for sex.
For example: When meeting a woman at a bar, one of these will begin by breaking down her self esteem by subtly insulting her, all in order to make her insecure and wanting his approval. Thus he has a girl who's easy prey.

Oh. You mean El Douche Grande. I was thinking of the ones that are able to be interesting and gentlemanly and you know... and all around positive guy. Yeah... you definition of pickup artist is definitely an immoral type of person.

Yeah.
Apparently it's called "Negging". Imagine my disappointment when I a couple of years ago found out my best friend idolized this shit.

 

[MyFooThurTS]

Talk about people doing something that was immoral in their society, but not necessarily immoral in ours, like the first abortionists and what not. Unless your course is packed up to its skullcap with single mindedness and bigotry, and they perhaps might not appreciate your 'politically skewed' relativism.
To reverse everything I just said, the hedonism of Nero could also be a good one, as you'd be likely pressed to explain why the guy's so apparently limited in morality, but not at all pressed too drastically.

 

[Scarim Coral]

How about animal/ child abuse, maybe the atomic bomb (althought that is another debate itself), genocide (not just the Nazi) and etc?

 

[LongAndShort]

Just pick up an Eastern European history book. The places round there just get run by bastard after bastard after bastard...

Dude, wrong strip



OT: Serial killers are pretty immoral. You can also go with CEOs and psychopathy. If all else fails, you can bring out the bug guns - EA and Activision. Well, I'm joking. Maybe.

How about the craziness of those other dictators, like Mao or the Khmer Rouge dude (or however the fuck you spell that). There are a whole lot of absolutely terrible dictators that get ignored in favor of talking about Hitler. Maybe you should focus on them a little bit.

 

[Forgetitnow344]

Morality is subjective and arguing it from an educational standpoint poses the concept that there is some basis for morality, giving credence to some idea of human nature or assuming that there is a god and its rules apply to the mortal realm.

Just about every action ever could be justified from someone's point of view.

What is your actual prompt? If it fits, you should have fun with it. Try to justify pedophilia or something. Make Hitler's logic make sense. There's nothing more satisfying than turning off society's expectations of what's right and wrong and really exploring the "morality" of a situation, taking all factors and variables into consideration. Take on a challenge!

You could use the Spartans. They used slaves for target practice, which is an incredibly fucked up thing to do, even back then.

Holy fuck, Batman, you are either trolling, or a very, VERY, misinformed individual. I sincerely hope it's the former. Either way, I'm not gonna stand in the middle of this shitstorm.

OT: Politicians, duh!
