Indignation(as an example of a reactive attitude): A feeling of anger or outrage when you witness something you think is deeply unfair or wrong, especially when it affects others.
Modified reactive attitudes(as used in ethics): Toned-down or adjusted versions of our normal emotional responses—for example, feeling mild disappointment instead of anger toward a young child who hurt you.
Non-moral agents(as used in ethics and responsibility): Beings who cannot be held responsible for their actions because they lack the ability to understand right from wrong, like very young children or people with severe cognitive disabilities.
On a spectrum(as used in philosophy and general reasoning): Existing along a range or scale rather than as a simple yes-or-no binary; for example, responsibility might exist in degrees from full to none rather than as just one or the other.
