21 - Recklessness

We can say that it is the absence of prudence or good sense when acting. Whoever acts recklessly does so on impulse, without thinking, without reflection, without responsibility or without commitment.

When someone does this, they can make serious mistakes that will have serious consequences on their work, on those around them or on themselves.

Recklessness leads to omitting precautions that can also be serious in any profession.

In the legal field, recklessness can be penalized, as depending on the case it can be considered a crime.

For example, when driving recklessly causes injury to another or when carelessness or recklessness causes damage to the environment, such as forest fires.

22- Hypocrisy

The word hypocrisy comes from the Latin hypocrisis, where hypo means mask and it is given as the meaning to pretend or represent.

At first the word was used to refer to performing a representation or performance, but over time the meaning changed to use it with people who pretended to be what they were not or pretended feelings.

We can say that to act with hypocrisy is to act with falsehood because feelings or attitudes contrary to what is thought are shown.

The hypocritical person acts voluntarily and conscientiously to achieve a goal. For example, politicians in campaign or religious ministers who preach what they do not practice.

23- Hostility

Hostility can be individual or collective. It is a social emotional attitude linked to antipathy, resentment, disgust and indignation that leads to acting with aversion and aggressiveness, whether physical or verbal.

The hostile person believes that the behavior of the other is provocative and that it is specifically against him. This feeling leads him to reject, inconvenience or insult him.

Hostility can be circumstantial or remain in time even in the absence of what caused it.

For example, there can be acts of hostility at work, when the employer assumes attitudes against a worker, seeking to make him quit his job.

24- Falsehood

Falsehood is defined as lack of authenticity or truth, whether of a person or an object. It is contrary to the truth and unreliable or misleading.

In relation to people's behavior, falsehood is the condition of those who lie and pretend to pretend what they don't have, to manipulate other people.

For example: there are cases of false identity, to escape justice or cover up crimes.

25- hate

It is considered to be aversion towards someone or something. Hatred is seen as a negative value that wishes evil for the hated subject or object and that goes against love.

Hatred causes repulsion towards a situation, person or object generating the desire to avoid or everything that is hated.

A consequence of hatred tends to split violence. For example, when a war is going to be declared, it is customary to encourage hatred towards the enemy in people, so the violent acts committed during it will seem justified.

26- Intransigence

It is the attitude that people show when they do not accept the behavior, the opinions of others or ideas different from their own, that is, they do not compromise with others.

An example of this type of anti-value is expressed in the phrase: "he showed his intransigent attitude by not allowing him to express his opinion in front of others to defend himself."

The concept of intransigence refers to the inflexibility or intolerance that people manifest in a situation. Being uncompromising is not allowing or making concessions regarding the wishes or requirements of other people.

It also includes the fanatical, exalted or passionate attitudes that some people show towards their ideology or beliefs.

Although intransigence and intolerance seem synonymous, they differ. Because unlike the intolerant who does not accept the ideas of others, the intransigent is unable to give one iota.

27- Indifference

It is considered an anti-value insofar as the person is not capable of feeling approval or rejection towards another being, or towards a particular object or situation.

Indifference of a worker with respect to the work problems of some colleagues.

It is a kind of intermediate point between appreciating or despising something or someone. And although it may seem harmless since it does not take sides but remains in a neutral point, there are situations in which this type of behavior is inadmissible.

For example, being indifferent to the pain of others, exploitation, war, corruption, etc., is an individual and social behavior reprehensible from the moral point of view.

28- Irresponsibility

The anti-value of irresponsibility is expressed through the failure to fulfill tasks and duties in the home, group, school or work. This behavior is characterized by disorder, lack of consideration for others and the little value that is assigned to the consequences generated by our actions.

The most frequent examples of irresponsible behavior is not turning in assigned work on time, being late for appointments without justification. Likewise, neglect our duties to our children to educate, feed and protect them, when we have the means to do so.

Irresponsibility is also manifested when driving drunk through the streets putting the lives of others at risk, doing a job badly to the detriment of a client, breaking rules or getting into debt beyond our ability to pay.

29- Laziness

Laziness is an attitude of boredom, indifference, negligence or carelessness in our daily life or in carrying out a task.

They are called lazy, lazy, sloppy and lazy people who avoid at all costs doing work, academic or any other kind of activities.

30- infidelity

Infidelity is considered an anti-value, because not only does it lead to cheating and violating the couple's moral standards, but it also means hurting another person when they are hurt or hurt.
