Accepted Answer

[ɪ'mɔːrəl] 
immoraldeliberately violating accepted principles of right and wrong
Use the adjective immoral to describe a person, group, or situation that intentionally goes against accepted ideas of what is right, like a government that attacks its own people, or a friend who steals your favorite spatula.
Morals are the principles we follow that help us know the difference between right and wrong. When someone is immoral, they make decisions that purposely violate a moral agreement. Immoral is sometimes confused with amoral, which describes someone who has no morals and doesn’t know what right or wrong means. Someone immoral, though, knows the difference and does bad stuff anyway, like that so-called friend who takes your utensils.

  Both have to do  with right and wrong, but amoral means having no sense of either, like a  fish, but the evil immoral describes someone who knows the difference,  doesn't care, and says "mwah ha ha" while twirling a mustache.
If you are amoral, you're  not a jerk, you just don't know that what you're doing is wrong. In the 1800s,  Robert Louis Stevenson, author of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (among other  treasures), coined the word amoral to differentiate from immoral.  Amoral is generally more descriptive, rather than judgmental:

In an age  enamored of machines, life becomes amoral, without moral bearings,  devoid of moral categories. (Edith Sizoo)
  
    Amoral nature  committed the crime "the man" could not. (Eye for Film)

Immoral is having no  morality, being wicked or evil. If you are immoral, you know what  society considers right and wrong, yet you do wrong anyway. It's a judgment, no  doubt:

The bankers who  took millions while destroying people's savings: greedy, selfish, and immoral. (Business Week)
  
    At best, it is  in bad taste and worse, flatly immoral. (Scientific American)

If you call someone immoral, you are saying that person knows better. If you call him amoral, you are  saying that person does wrong but doesn't understand that it is wrong. It can  be a fine line, other times it's clear: If a giant wave turns your boat over,  that wave isn't being mean, it's amoral. If another boat rams into you  and does the same thing, that is an immoral act, especially if the immoral captain laughs instead of helping you out of the water.
