ETHICAL DILEMMAS - Situations in which one person must make a decision about what to do. Either the choice is unclear or the "right" choice will be difficult because of the costs. (Pollock 20)
This is where people usually struggle inwardly with the decision making and the difference between this and Ethical Issues is that in ethical dilemmas, we have a choice, whereas in an ethical issue, you may have an opinion on the problem but there isn't much you can do to change it. Here are some steps that can help you to solve any Ethical Dilemmas you may obtain in your lifetime...
Review ALL the facts. Know the facts and only the facts, nothing that could potentially alter your choice to lean towards a biased decision.
Identify ALL the potential values of each party that might be relevant and identify things that can't be proven empirically.
Identify all possible moral issues for each party involved in order to really help us see that sometimes one's own moral or ethical dilemma is caused by others' actions.
Decide what is most immediate moral or ethical issue facing the individual. This is always a behavior choice, not an opinion.
Resolve the ethical or moral dilemma by using an ethical system or some other means of decision making
Another thing you can do to solve these dilemmas is picturing ethical judgements as a kind of pyramid. The top has the judgements that we make continuously. Moral rules is in the middle. These are the support of the judgements. These are also the general rules of right and wrong. These rules are themselves supported by ethical systems.
