Moral complacency is a term that refers to people
rejecting moral opinions that go counter to their own as a moral opinion is one that is
considered as the absolute truth of sorts and about which one cannot be wrong. It is a
belief that a moral opinion requires no justification and as a result the issue of
proving or justifying it and be willing to change the way one thinks based on better
arguments presented by others does not arise.
As an
example, if you believe that abortion is wrong, you may consider it totally justified to
not hear any argument of mine to prove that abortion has its benefits, that abortion is
not putting an end to a life, and the alike.
