Based on the previous studies idealism was more influent ethical decision making in the stage of ethical awareness than relativism, but in the ethical judgments and intentions relativism was more influent vice versa.This study will use multiple regression analysis in the determination of which one has stronger influence between these two ethical philosophies (idealism or relativism). Idealism more influent ethical decision making in the stage of ethical awareness based on previous studies, and relativism stronger in the second and third stages ethical judgments and intentions. We will also use the expert opinion to determine of which ethical philosophy has stronger influence specifically to empowering ethical idealism influence at the ethical awareness.Ethical philosophy of idealism more influent ethical decision making at the first stage but after that it will not influent again at the following stages.
