The answer to this question is within yourself - you just need to focus on the specific i.e.
- imagine you had to write about 'a betrayal' -
- you would think about the betrayals that have happened to you or that you've read about or that friends have told you about, that might conceivably give you something to write about -
- then you would need to think about the motivation of the betrayer -
By the time you get to this point, it's usually pretty clear.

Retribution
" Moral evaluations are rarely simple and are likely to be influenced by the justification or circumstances that surround the event. For example, to kill is generally morally unacceptable, however to kill while defending one's country is less unacceptable; to lie openly and directly is generally unacceptable, but if the lie is instrumental to saving innocent lives, it is more acceptable. Thus, the acceptability of a behavior may rely upon a variety of considerations beyond the nature of the act itself.
In empirical research, it has been found that people take into account the prevailing circumstances when judging the acceptability of behavior. Young school-aged children take into account the intentionality of the act (Piaget, 1965) whereas older children and adolescents are able to take into account more complex justifications. For example, Keltikangas-Jarvinen & Lindeman (1997) found that among adolescents between the ages of 11 and 17, transgressions such as lying, theft, and fighting were most acceptable when the transgressor was provoked or when these behaviors were performed under duress. Cauffman, Feldman, Jensen, & Arnett (under review) found that violence against peers was more acceptable when committed in defense (of self and others) and when the transgressor was provoked. Petersen, Petersen, & Seeto (1983) found that self-protective lies were judged as less acceptable than other kinds of lies and untruths. One purpose of the present study is to investigate the effect of different justifications on the acceptance of two kinds of betrayal.
Evaluation of betrayal has generally been studied on a dimension of acceptance/rejection with relatively little attention devoted to the conditions under which betrayal occurs. Yet the literature on sexual betrayal suggests that there are many different reasons for engaging in betrayal, including dissatisfaction with the ongoing relationship (e.g., lack of communication, insufficient intimacy; lack of sexual gratification); a desire for sexual variety or excitement; revenge, anger or jealousy; insecurity about the relationship; immaturity and lack of commitment; and strong attraction to or being in love with the extradyadic partner (Buunk, 1980; Feldman & Cauffman, 1999a; Glass & Wright, 1992; Kitzinger & Powell, 1995; Roscoe, Cavanaugh, & Kennedy, 1988; Thompson, 1984). In one of the few studies that compared how justifications for betrayal influenced its acceptability, Feldman & Cauffman (1999a) found that betrayal was more acceptable when there was a bad relationship between the partners, or when there was a magnetic attraction to a new partner, and least acceptable when the transgressors felt they could escape detection, wanted to test the relationship, or were being vindictive and attempting to even a (real or imagined) score.
There are, to our knowledge, no studies examining the effect of different justifications on the acceptability of betraying a friend's confidence. However, we posit that such betrayal is likely to be viewed in the same light as deception, a moral violation about which considerably more is known (see Robinson, 1996). It seems likely that a broken promise, like other forms of deception, might be judged more or less acceptable depending on circumstances. For example, a broken promise in order to help a friend might be judged as more acceptable than when the motive is self-gain or revenge. Likewise, an inadvertent disclosure of a friend's secret, especially if the friend's identity is not divulged, might be evaluated less negatively than a deliberate disclosure made in the knowledge that the betrayed friend would do nothing about it. Thus, despite an absence of both theory and extant empirical work, it seems reasonable to expect that justification for betrayal will influence the acceptability of betraying a friend's confidence, just as it is likely to influence the acceptability of sexual betrayal of a romantic partner."
