Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An ethical dilemma is a situation where there are two or more moral principles in conflict with each other and the decision-maker has to choose between them. This can be a difficult and challenging situation where there is no clear right or wrong answer. Ethical behavior and pragmatism are related concepts but do not specifically refer to the conflict between two moral principles. A gray area may refer to a situation where there is ambiguity or uncertainty, but it does not necessarily involve moral decision-making.
