degradation

Read a random definition: What is the CAN-SPAM Act?

A quick definition of degradation:

Definition: Degradation means a decrease in rank, dignity, or quality. It can also refer to a decline in a person's character or morals. Additionally, it can describe the wearing down of something over time.

A more thorough explanation:

Degradation (deg-rə-day-shən) is a term used to describe:

  1. A reduction in rank, degree, or dignity. This can include censure of a clergy member by divestiture of holy orders, either by word or by a solemn divestiture of robes and other insignia. For example, a priest who has been found guilty of a serious offense may be degraded by being stripped of their religious garments and titles.
  2. A moral or intellectual decadence or degeneration. This refers to a lessening of a person's or thing's character or quality. For instance, a person who was once kind and compassionate may experience a degradation of their character if they become selfish and cruel.
  3. A wearing down of something, as by erosion. This can refer to the physical breakdown of materials or the erosion of natural resources. For example, the degradation of soil due to over-farming can lead to a decrease in crop yields.
  • After being caught embezzling funds from the church, the bishop was subjected to degradation and stripped of his position.
  • The degradation of the environment due to pollution and deforestation is a major concern for many people.
  • The constant use of harsh chemicals can lead to the degradation of hair and cause it to become dry and brittle.

These examples illustrate the different ways in which degradation can occur. In the first example, degradation is used to punish someone for their wrongdoing. In the second example, degradation refers to the negative impact that human activity can have on the environment. In the third example, degradation is used to describe the physical breakdown of a material due to overuse or exposure to harmful substances.
