An individual who performs activities, which the laws of the area they are committed in classifies as being illegal, in a manner that is more ethically acceptable than most other people who commit the same offense.
Some individuals who can be viewed as being ethical criminals are a storeowner from Oakland California who, on the night of February 15, 2021, fired a gun at two individuals that were attempting to rob a woman across the street from their store, robin hood, and Flores, an operator in Rainbow Six Siege who steals from wealthy crime lords in Buenos Aires, Argentina and Los Angeles, California and gives the money and resources they stole to the poor.

The idea that humans have better access to decent quality healthcare and health insurance, have more access to certain cities, towns, counties, and countries, and issues greatly affecting them are prioritized more frequently in political agendas, regardless of the political identity of those in power, than those affecting other species, despite how some of them can negatively impact the health of a large number of people. Hence, being human can at times be a source of privilege.
Karen: My dad had to go to hospital the other day. It took me five to seven minutes to find a hospital to take him to, which surprised me. I wasn't expecting it to take that long to find him a hospital.
Aaron: I glad you were able to find one in time. You're lucky believe it or not. According to what I heard at one point, it can take up to twenty to twenty five minutes to find an animal hospital that is open twenty-four hours a day. A lot of people often don't realize just how much more accessible and high quality the human healthcare system compared to the animal healthcare system. Its a major example of human privilege.
Karen: In that case you are right, I was very lucky.

An individual or group that is actively involved in politics who deal with issues that deal with a lot of political topics that most politicians that are from the political mainstream won't deal with, and take positions on issues that most politicians will not take. Often times the odds of them being successful are slim, even if their positions are good ideas, or the topic is worthy of the government's time and resources, and they have a decent amount of support among the civilian population, because of the amount of opposition they receive from other politicians and or political groups.
Kailani: I heard that U.S. Representative Brendan Boyle reintroduced the STABLE GENIUS Act, which would require presidential candidates to have a medical exam, including a mental health examination, and publicly disclose the results before the general election.
Ian: I heard about that. Regrettably, after the house voted to send the bill to the House Committee on House Administration, they never heard back about it. I suspect the bill might have encountered a large amount of opposition because most of the political candidates don't want to publicly admit that they have a mental health issue.
Kailani: It was generally a good idea nevertheless. Brendan is a good example of a political underdog.

A major social problem that arises when an individual sets their romantic expectations and standards too high for decent people, who the individual likes, to be able to achieve. Normally it is fine to have some standards, but when descent people are unable to fulfill those expectations because of the large number of them and or because the expectations require extremely large amounts money and resources, require the individual to be in perfect physical shape that most people are not able to achieve, and or require the individual to be skilled at doing things that most people don’t know how to do that well, then the individual's expectations may be set too high. This is highly unethical to do, because extremely high standards tend to be very unreasonable and can prevent decent people from being able to get into a romantic relationship due to factors far beyond control.
Annabeth: Why is Emma so upset?
Lauren: She was in a relationship with a Johnny, but he dumped her because she supposedly didn't fulfill his expectations. The thing was his expectations were very unreasonable to begin with. He expects his partner to have flat abs, not to talk to other boys at all, and spend most of her time with him.
Annabeth: He sounds very inconsiderate. I am sure she will find someone better than him who knows how to treat their partner with respect. It sounds like Emma is another victim of the High Romantic Standards Dilemma.
Lauren: Agreed.

An adjective used to describe when someone holds political views that tend to be out of date compared to other people’s beliefs
Brian thinks that U.S. should rely more on coal to fulfill its energy needs, even though coal is known to be a major environmental pollutant and can be very hazardous to the miners’ health. Most people support trying to fill more of the U.S. energy needs using renewable energy in order to be more sustainable and reduce our reliance on foreign powers to address our energy based needs. His views on energy use are politically primitive.

A situation where an individual has big crush on someone, but they realize that they can never actually date them for numerous reasons. Some people get over it, but others never actually recover from it because of how much they cared about that person. Some reasons are the person being out of their league, the other individual already being in a romantic relationship, the individual is aromantic, that individual is not romantically attracted to them, etc.
Chester: Hey, Lexy. How are you doing? We have not heard from you in months.
Lexy: I am doing okay; although I am kind of sad about Devin.
Mariah: What happened?
Lexy: I had a crush on him, but I realize could never actually date him because he would probably reject me due him being way out of my league and I heard a rumor that he is seeing someone else. It’s a love story that never happened.
Chester: I can see why that upsetting, but maybe if you wait things might change. They might breakup down the line and if you took chance and asked him out maybe then you might be able to date him.
Lexy: Thanks for the advice. I might try that.
