Moral Bankruptcy is not Immorality
editI was shocked to find that Moral Bankruptcy has been redirected to Immorality. Simply put, the two are not quite the same thing. This is an example of putting too much emphasis on ethical philosophy and not seeing the larger picture, such as society and structures.
Moral Bankruptcy is a loss of moral authority. While it is truly related to immorality, it does not have the same meaning. Immorality is a state or act of persons and entities. Moral Bankruptcy describes more closely the perception of social and governmental institutions and their legitimacy by the population of a nation, state or civilization. It is the inability of those entities to rule due to a lack of moral standing and legitimacy. 67.172.20.73 (talk) 02:21, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
