Moral exclusion is a psychological and social phenomenon where certain individuals or groups are considered outside the circle of moral concern. This means that they are not afforded the same rights, considerations, or ethical treatment as others within a person's or group's moral community. The concept suggests that people can, consciously or unconsciously, label others as less deserving of moral consideration based on various factors, such as race, nationality, socio-economic status, or behavior.
