Ethical Dilemma

Abstract

Ethical dilemmas are conflicts that pull between the right and the wrong of an action. It is said that when you are in an ethical dilemma the wrong choice usually have the better outcome and the right choice usually have the worst outcome. We sometimes want the better outcome to be the results of an action, however it isn't right. We don't typically enjoy seeing someone suffer or hurt because they failed to do something or when they are in an unfavorable situation. We base our ethics mainly on our principles and on what we believe and what we are taught. Our principle and beliefs often drive the direction we take. Although our intention maybe good our actions may not be.
