Rationalization: Not Always for the Good

Society has a set of morals, that of which exist for a specific reason, not to be justified by some other action taken just because it felt like the thing to do.

These morals are what keep society intact and prevents everything from going hysterical. In Mary Shelley's novel, Frankenstein,
