ETHICAL OBJECTIVISM In ethical objectivism moral values and virtues are intrinsic, not dependent on anything outside of them. In ethical objectivism moral law is uncreated and eternal and not subject to any will, divine or human. (One form of ethical objectivism is moral absolutism.) No will can lessen the consequence of acts against the law. There is no grace in ethical objectivism. In order to avoid punishment, one must perfect one's life and follow the law perfectly. The law of karma, continuous birth, death and rebirth until such moral perfection is reached, appears to be the ultimate expression of ethical objectivism. In Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, for most people one lifetime is not enough for such moral perfection. The "Law of Karma" holds that if people act in evil ways, that evil will eventually return to them. Conversely, if people do good deeds, then they will advance in spiritual progress. This is connected to reincarnation, where those with a "negative balance" in good deeds will come back in a lower position in society or the animal world. Ethical subjectivism, as we have seen above, is the opposite of ethical objectivism. Subjectivism says that the moral values are dependent on a human or divine will, that they can change from one situation to another. Please note that a large majority of Christians, Jews, and Muslims believe in moral absolutism, which is a form of ethical objectivism. Also note that Buddhists may have a weaker definition of the law of karma. For some Buddhists it may simply mean that actions have consequences. When it comes to deciding whether Aristotle, Confucius, and the Buddha are ethical objectivists or subjectivists, you should focus on the following questions: (1) For Aristotle and Confucius who or what tells us the right action? (2) What is the role that God plays for Aristotle and Heaven for Confucius? and (3) Does "relative to" me in each of these thinkers undermine ethical objectivism?
It is an economic system based on Ayn Rands philosophy of objectivism.
Ethical Leadership can be evaluated on the of ethical decision making, ethical communication and ethical team building.
He certainly was in the past, given that he was a proponent of Objectivism and had Ayn Rand stand next to him during his 1974 swearing in. He later, at least arguably, drifted from the principles of Objectivism, but there's no evidence he ever stopped being an atheist. (And it's quite rare for educated adult atheists to later become believers.)
Identify the problem, identify any competing ethical positions or principles, and go over ethical guidelines.
There is a huge difference between being ethical and being socially responsible. You do not need to be ethical to be socially responsible for example.

The emotivist, A. J. Ayer, maintains that argument about ethics is? impossible.
That we cannot argue ethics and it being impossible to agure shows ethics to be nonobjective.
how to use objectivism in a sentence
Ethical nonobjectivists hold that there are no objective moral facts, and no objectively true moral principles --- not just that they are difficult to discover, or that we might not be sure what they are; rather, that there are no objective moral truths to discover. One version of ethical nonobjectivism is emotivism, according to which sentences that appear to state ethical facts (such as "stealing is wrong") are, instead, merely expressions of emotion, and not genuine statements at all. Most contemporary nonobjectivists, however, are not emotivists; they believe that such sentences are statements, but that there are no objective facts to support the statements. The key arguments for ethical nonobjectivism are arguments from moral diversity, which focus on the enormous diversity of moral beliefs, both within cultures and cross-culturally; the argument (by A. J. Ayer) that no genuine argument is possible on ethical issues, i.e., that there is nothing objective to argue about; and the argument from queerness (or simplicity), which claims that ethical nonobjectivism is more plausible than any version of ethical objectivism, because objectivism requires a much more elaborate explanatory scheme and posits the existence of very strange entities (moral facts).

An antonym for altruism would be selfishness, egotism, or exploitive. A less negative antonym would be: "objectivism" as held by Ayn Rand and expounded in her book, "The Fountainhead". Philosophically speaking, the opposite of altruism is objectivism.
Leonard Peikoff is best known for his work in Objectivist philosophy, particularly for his book "Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand" where he presents and explains Ayn Rand's philosophical ideas. He has also written books on topics such as education, politics, and epistemology.
Examples of moral objectivism include the belief that certain actions are always right or wrong regardless of cultural norms or personal beliefs, such as the idea that murder is inherently wrong, or that honesty is always a virtue. Moral objectivism holds that moral truths exist independently of individual opinions or societal conventions.
