Moral Dilemma

A moral dilemma is a situation in which an individual faces conflicting choices that challenge their ethical principles and values. It typically involves a scenario where one must choose between two or more actions, each presenting a moral conflict and potentially resulting in negative consequences. In a moral dilemma, the right course of action is not clear, and any decision made may lead to ethical repercussions, thus creating a psychological struggle for the decision-maker. These dilemmas often require individuals to weigh the importance of competing ethical considerations, such as honesty, loyalty, justice, and harm, making them complex and deeply personal.
