Detailed explanation-1: -When evaluating the alternatives, both courses of action have positive and negative elements. Right vs. right is an ethical dilemma, whereas right vs. wrong is identified as a moral temptation (the individual knows the right thing to do, but chooses the action that is wrong) (Kidder, 1996).
Detailed explanation-2: -Moral temptation = right vs. wrong; Ethical dilemma = right vs. right.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ethical dilemmas are defined by Kidder as “right versus right” and “at the heart of our toughest choices.” It’s “right” to protect your employees as a department head, and “right, ” on the other hand, to protect the interest of the company.
Detailed explanation-4: -A response to a moral (ethical) dilemma is not always a matter of “right versus wrong, ” as both courses of action or decision could seem moral or ethical (or the “right thing to do”).
Detailed explanation-5: -In LDRS 111 you were introduced to four different ethical dilemma paradigms: truth vs loyalty, short-term vs long-term, individual vs community, and justice vs mercy.
