Outrages can manifest in various forms, including physical violence, verbal abuse, discriminatory behaviors, acts of terrorism, or gross violations of human rights. They can be committed by individuals, groups, or even institutions, and their impact can range from causing harm to an individual person to affecting entire communities or societies.
The term "outrages" can also be used to describe events or incidents that generate widespread public condemnation, intense public criticism, or a feeling of collective outrage.

It is important to note that the definition of what qualifies as an outrage can vary between societies and cultures, as it is shaped by prevailing norms, values, and legal systems.
