Subject

"Decadence refers to a personal trait and, much more commonly, to a state of society. In a person, or used to describe a person's lifestyle, it describes a lack of moral and intellectual discipline. In a society, it describes corrosive decline due to a perceived erosion of necessary moral traditions. Due to the subjective nature of morality, whether one is decadent or not is a matter of debate, though certain behaviours are generally held to be decadent, as decadence may lead to objective decline."
