Ethical judgment seems fine enough to help many of those situations, at
least to inform us toward beneficial ends. They both involve making an
assessment by interpreting the state of affairs through accepted rules, the
rules of physics and the rules of reciprocity/justice. The social parts get
a bit messy, in which case you develop universal principles and reality
checks against relativity (subjective right). I do consider subjective
interpretations acceptable, but the bounds tighten up as actions affect
others in wider circles.
