Really, the simplest form of this can be broken into two groups with different views in ethics.
On one side, the whatever is best for me is the better choice crowd. Consequences for others, hell even thinking about others, does not matter, because it's a dog eat dog world. Others are only used as a prop for their end goal. Preservation of self interest is their only true moral code, and can be easily manipulated by framing fake arguments to support the self in any situation. This gets compounded by narcissist power hungry liars that will say anything as long as it benefits them.
On the other side, the whatever is best for society crowd. They are less concerned about great outcomes for themselves if it is at the expense of others. The rising tide lifts all ships moral code. This requires empathy, logic and thoughtfulness. Quite simply it's waaaay easier to be in group 1, than group 2.
