Problem
Hypocrisy
Experimental visualization of narrower problems
Other Names:
Moral double standards Nature:
The feigning of beliefs and virtues not actually held or possessed becomes most obvious where there is a marked double standard of morality. Hypocrisy may gloss over considerable immorality, thus maintaining the respectability of the person in question and any position of power that he or she has. Such hypocrisy serves to frustrate people who suffer or may think they suffer as a result. Broader Problems:
