More Research on Moral Transgression


Some different definitions of what transgression is from different sites I found, whilst doing more research:

  • A violation of law, command or duty: "The same transgressions should be visited with equal severity on both man and woman."
  • The exceeding of due bounds or limits.
  • Moral Transgressions are any thing against the moral standards of a society, common is homicide, rape, stealing. Each society has its own definition of what is allowed, such as in a one African culture, homosexuality with an elder of the tribe is used to give word the groom will not have sexual relations with another female while married.
  • A transgression is something that is against a command or law. Whether you are cheating on a test, or cheating on a spouse, you are committing transgressions that are not easily forgiven.
  • A transgression can be a failure to do your duty. A sin is a transgression against God. The noun transgression is from Middle English, from Middle French, from Latin "act of crossing/passing over." from transgredi "to step or pass over".
  •  The act of transgressing; the violation of a law or a duty or moral principle
