If we use the verb forms instead so its degrade and deteriorate, it makes it easier to understand.
Degrade is usually used in the context of talking about people, and it means to treat someone poorly and make them feel bad about themselves or to look down on them.
Deteriorate has a more general usage, and it means that something is getting worse. For example, “my health is deteriorating so I need to exercise” means the same as “my health is getting worse so I need to exercise”.
Degradation and deterioration are just the noun forms for degrade and deteriorate!
