moralisation
Preaching about right
Moralisation is the British spelling of moralization, the act of moralising or making moral judgments.
It often carries a slightly negative connotation, suggesting unwelcome commentary on the rightness or wrongness of others' behaviour.
The film avoids heavy-handed moralisation about its characters' choices.
Moralisation can also refer to the process by which something becomes viewed in moral terms: the moralisation of public health issues.
