" I disagree to push situational ethics or this idiotic non judgmental crap."
This isn't the same as situational ethics. When I studied economics, we were taught to separate the "normative" (judgments about what the ideal should be, according to your values) from the factual (what is happening, what is likely to happen). As other posters have said -- we report, you decide.
Read Sonny M's #39 -- economists tend to believe in an objective reality -- many in other social sciences tend to think that reality is more subjective. Situational ethics follows from that post-modern view.

There is no such thing as an "objective reality".
