permissive
意味: Allowing or characterised by great freedom of behaviour; tolerant, especially in matters of social or sexual conduct.
Permissive is most associated with the cultural changes of the 1960s — 'the permissive society' is a standard phrase in British social history, referring to the liberalisation of attitudes towards sex, drugs, and personal freedom. In parenting, a 'permissive parent' allows children considerable freedom with few rules. In legal contexts, 'permissive' legislation allows but does not require something. The word can be neutral or critical, depending on the speaker's values.
