MORAL DILEMMA
Example
The SSS members have been asking for a two-thousand pesos SSS
pension increase. Several lawmakers supported the all because they see
that it will benefit the senior citizen members. On the other hand , the SSS
executives opposed it saying the institution cannot sustain such amount in
the long run, and the SSS will go bankrupt in 2024.
Being the President of the Philippines, the final decision was in the
hands of president Aquino III. In the end, the president vetoed the bill
passed by the Congress to hike the SSS pension because he believed “the
sustainability of the entire SSS benefit system will be seriously compromised
in favor of two million pensioners and their dependents” (CNN Philippines)

Another example of Moral Dilemma
The mood at Baileyville High School is tense with anticipation. For the first
time in many, many years, the varsity basketball team has made it to the state
semifinals. The community is excited too, and everyone is making plans to attend
the big event next Saturday night.
Jeff, the varsity coach, has been waiting for years to field such a team.
Speed, teamwork, balance: they've got it all. Only one more week to practice, he
tells his team, and not a rule can be broken. Everyone must be at practice each
night at the regularly scheduled time: No Exceptions. Brad and Mike are two of the
team's starters. From their perspective, they're indispensable to the team, the guys
who will bring victory to Baileyville. They decide—why, no one will ever know—to
show up an hour late to the next day's practice.
MORAL DILEMMA

Jeff is furious. They have deliberately disobeyed his orders. The rule says
they should be suspended for one full week. If he follows the rule, Brad and Mike
will not play in the semifinals. But the whole team is depending on them. What
