immoral
Against right conduct
Immoral describes conduct that violates accepted standards of right and wrong.
An immoral act transgresses ethical principles; an immoral person habitually does so.
The word implies conscious choice—animals and infants can't be immoral because they lack moral understanding.
Immoral differs from amoral, which describes someone indifferent to morality altogether rather than violating it.
