Making ethical decisions is most often best done by analyzing objective standards (such as profit or number of people fired)instead of subjective impacts on stakeholders.

Ethical Decisions

Choices made based on moral principles and values.

Objective Standards

Criteria or benchmarks that are based on facts and are impartial, allowing for consistent and unbiased assessment or decision-making.

Subjective Impacts

Effects or consequences that are based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions rather than external facts.
