Dilemma means a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two courses of action, either of which entails contravening a moral principle. An ethical dilemma or ethical paradox is a decision-making problem between two possible moral imperatives, neither of which is unambiguously acceptable or preferable. The complexity arises out of the situational conflict in which obeying one would result in transgressing another. Ethical Dilemma is the situation where a person's view regarding selecting an object or the alternative includes series of outcomes, which is very confusing. Each outcome has a serious overlapping outcome, which cannot be at a time wrong for one person but the same may be ethically wrong for the other. An "absolute" or "pure" ethical dilemma only occurs when two (or more) ethical standards apply to a situation but are in conflict with each other. In ethical dilemma, if we obey one decision then it would bring about disobeying another. Ethical dilemma is also known as moral dilemma. Ethical dilemmas make the situations too difficult. A person has to choose only one way from two of them – a moral or an immoral way. Ethical dilemmas can be seen everywhere in daily lives. However, everybody has their own particular experience towards ethical dilemma. Ethical dilemmas assume that the chooser will abide by societal norms, such as codes of law or religious teachings, in order to make the choice ethically impossible. Some examples of ethical dilemmas include: A secretary discovers her boss has been laundering money, and she must decide whether or not to turn him in. A doctor refuses to give a terminal patient morphine, but the nurse can see the patient is in agony. While responding to a domestic violence call, a police officer finds out that the attacker is the brother of the police chief, and the police chief tells the officer to "make it go away" A government contractor discovers that intelligence agencies have been spying on its citizens illegally, but is bound by contract and legalities to keep his confidentiality about the discovery. "When tracked in a situation that the approach does not work, it can be resolved by a right versus right dilemma by finding the highest right". With reference to this, the three ways to make the best choice when faced with these types of dilemmas are as follows: Ends-based: Select the option that generates the best for the most people. Rule-based: Choose as if you're creating a universal standard. Follow the standard that you want others to follow. Care-based: Choose as if you were the one most affected by your decision. Once you have identified an ethical right versus right dilemma, lay out your options according to these three principles. One approach will immediately present itself as the "most right".
