moral language
Moral language refers to words and phrases used to express judgments about what is right or wrong, good or bad. It helps people communicate their values, beliefs, and standards for behavior. For example, terms like "honest," "kind," or "unfair" convey moral evaluations that influence how we judge actions and decide what to do. This language enables us to discuss ethical principles, motivate moral behavior, and build social understanding about shared standards for conduct.
