Innocence - Definition and Overview

Related Words: Candor, Chastity, Honor, Ignorance

Innocence is a term that describes the lack of guilt of an individual, with respect for a crime. It can also refer to a state of unknowing, where one's experience is less than that of one's peers, in either a relative view to social peers, or by an absolute comparison to a more common normative scale.

In some cases, the term of "innocence" connotes a pejorative meaning, where an assumed level of experience dictates common discoure or baseline qualifications for entry into another, different, social experience. Since experience is the prime factor in a point of view, innocence is often also used to connote an ignorance or lack of personal experience.

Experience

Differences in experience can exist between generations as well, as in the case of access to education, material resources, prosperity, social interaction, moral development, dealing with conflicts, etc.

Differences in experience exist geographically —where different social environment and opportunity has bears on one's personal ability to share experience with others, and relate.
