Ethics can be defined as standards employed by people to make a determination of what is the right course of action to undertake in a given situation. Ethics are reliant on a logical and rational set of principles to come to a decision, which in essence, is a cognitive procedure or practice. Ethical dilemmas come about pretty much on a daily basis. It is imperative to take note that situations or circumstances that are uncomfortable or tough, but that do not necessitate a choice are not considered ethical dilemmas (Allen, 2013).
The first aspect for an ethical dilemma is that there has to be an agent or person who has to make a decision on which the best or ideal course of action is to undertake. Secondly, there has to be numerous courses of action that one can select from. Finally, regardless of what course of action is undertaken, there is some ethical standard or principle that either is, or may be, compromised in the end. In other words, with reference to ethical dilemmas, there may be no 'ideal' solution (Allen, 2013).
This paper will encompass a situation in which I experienced an ethical dilemma and the manner in which I resolved this issue within myself. It will also encompass the manner in which I would undertake this action in future if faced with the similar ethical dilemma.
