Scandal

A scandal is a situation or event involving actions or events that cause public outrage or indignation, typically because they are considered immoral, illegal, or unethical. Scandals often involve individuals, organizations, or institutions whose behavior is exposed, leading to a loss of reputation or trust. The term can apply to various contexts, such as politics, business, celebrity culture, and social issues. Scandals can generate significant media attention and public discourse, influencing public opinion and sometimes resulting in legal consequences or resignations. The nature of a scandal often hinges on societal norms and values, as what may be considered scandalous in one context might not elicit the same response in another.
