Betrayal

For other uses, see Betrayal (disambiguation).

Betrayal is a person's breaking the trust and the faith of others.

An article made by Rodger L. Jackson statesthat "there is not much definition for this word". In psychology, betrayal is said to be the breaking of social (friendship)-related things. However, for some people, such as the philosophers Judith Shklar and Peter Johnson, a person can understand the word better by literature (writings).
