Ethical dilemmas refer to situations in which individuals encounter conflicting moral principles, values, or obligations, and are required to make a decision or take action that involves choosing between two or more morally acceptable but mutually exclusive choices. These dilemmas often present difficult or challenging circumstances where there is no clear or straightforward "right" or "wrong" choice, and each possible course of action may have both positive and negative consequences. Resolving ethical dilemmas involves careful consideration of the principles involved, weighing the potential consequences, and striving to make a decision that aligns with one's ethical beliefs and values.
