Answer explanation

Note: When using the word ruthless, it's usually used to directly describe a person. Example: Ellie didn't care if she embarrassed her coworkers, as she always wanted to be employee of the month. She was a ruthless woman.

The word, moral/immoral, on the other hand, is used to describe an action. Example: It is immoral to steal from those less fortunate.
