According to ethical subjectivism, there are no objective standards for moral behavior. Only personal feelings need to be considered in decision-making. Some social commentators believe that the prevalence of ethical subjectivism in our society may contribute to what has come to be known as the ‘Kitty Genovese syndrome'[which is] characterized by an attitude of indifference to another persons distress (Boss, 2019, p. 127).
