Amoralization tables are tools used in various fields, such as psychology, sociology, and ethics, to analyze and describe the process by which individuals or groups gradually detach from moral principles. This process is often a gradual shift where actions that would typically be seen as morally wrong are justified or normalized over time.
The table typically categorizes different behaviors, beliefs, and actions that people might rationalize or reframe, thus becoming “amoral” in nature. This can be used to track how a person or group moves from adhering to ethical standards to behaving in ways that ignore moral guidelines. The tables often include variables such as the situation, rationalizations, and social factors that contribute to the process.
Amoralization tables provide a visual or structured way to study how people, institutions, or societies rationalize immoral actions and progressively lose the moral context they once upheld.
