Moral Hazard

The moral is a person's behavior towards himself /herself, society, organization, and others. Hazard is something that is happening and is not good. A person may be morally good or bad. It depends on his attitude, ethics, integrity, and values. A person may have the highest reverence for money to that for the truth. In this case, the person may lie and it is said that the person is morally bad.
