1. People articulate a moral judgment, for example, when they say that an
action is right or wrong, that a person is good or bad, or that a situation is
just or unjust. Athletes frequently make moral judgments about moral
issues that arise in sports, and such judgments have been investigated
by sport psychologists.
2. Punishment is a process by which the state inflicts some pain to the
persons or property of person who is found guilty of Crime. In other
words punishment is sanction imposed on an accused for the
infringement of the established rules. People are punished for a purpose.
Often the aims of a punishment overlap, e.g. the death penalty acts to
deter people from committing similar crimes and it aims to protect the
public from the individual who is guilty of the crime.
3. The attitude I have is I am easily get bored with things that I do and also
I have a short patience. And I easily get angry.
4. Ethics and morals relate to “right” and “wrong” conduct. While they are
sometimes used interchangeably, they are different: ethics refer to rules
provided by an external source, e.g., codes of conduct in workplaces or
principles in religions. Morals refer to an individual’s own principles
regarding right and wrong.

guard by his car the police has many alibi in order to not to get jailed that
rich man
