Decadence can refer to a personal trait and to a state of society. Used to
describe a person's lifestyle, it describes a lack of moral and
intellectual discipline, or in the COD : `a luxurious self-indulgence`. In
a society, it describes corrosive decline due to a perceived erosion of
necessary moral traditions. (A society that discards unnecessary and
outmoded values would not be considered decadent, although perceptions of
"unnecessary and outmoded" significantly vary.) Due to arguments over the
nature of morality, whether a society is decadent or not is a matter of
debate, though certain historical societies (such as ancient Rome near its
end) are generally held to have been decadent, as decadence often leads to
objective decline.
Decadent societies are often prosperous
