malicious act

Read a random definition: nulla persona

A quick definition of malicious act:

A malicious act is when someone does something on purpose that hurts or harms another person, without having a good reason to do so. It's like when someone hits or bullies another person for no good reason. This is wrong and against the law.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A malicious act is an intentional and wrongful action taken against another person without any legal justification or excuse.

Examples:

  • Assaulting someone without any provocation or reason
  • Destroying someone's property out of spite or revenge
  • Spreading false rumors or lies about someone to harm their reputation

These examples illustrate how a malicious act is an intentional and wrongful action taken against another person. In each case, the person committing the act has no legal justification or excuse for their behavior. Assaulting someone without provocation is a clear example of a malicious act, as is destroying someone's property out of spite or revenge. Spreading false rumors or lies about someone is also a malicious act, as it can harm their reputation and cause them emotional distress.

Everything that was once considered lowbrow is now triumphant. It is still common for people to talk of “guilty” cultural pleasures—TV, dance music—about which no one has felt guilty in decades and to apologize for them with an enthusiasm that looks a lot like pride. But the pretense of guilt is merely there to increase our pleasure; it adds the excitement of transgression to an otherwise banal activity. Successful artists in lowbrow forms now live in the perpetual snit of offended dignity that used to mark a person as a member of the highbrow avant-garde.
