1. What is dilemma?

-A dilemma is a problem offering two possibilities, neither of which is unambiguously

acceptable or preferable. The possibilities are termed the horns of the dilemma, a clichéd

usage, but distinguishing the dilemma from other kinds of predicament as a matter of

usage.

2. The emerging ethical/moral dilemmas

-Emerging ethical dilemma Is a dynamic problem between two potentially good

objectives, either not definitely worthy or best. The diverse nature comes out of a struggle

in the situation where obedience leads to the violation of others.

3. What is social implications?

-The term “social implications” refers to the effects that the actions of an individual or

group have on such variables as the values, demographics or economic condition of an

individual, families or a community. Increased demographic diversity, for example, is

one possible social implication of increasing affordable housing within a community.

When such demographic changes continue over the long-term, the effect of increasing

affordable housing moves beyond having social implications to one having a sustained

“social impact.”
4. The social implications of ethical dilemmas.

-There’s no doubt that the technology industry has achieved tremendous success. Its

ubiquitous products and services power our digital society. Prolonged ubiquity, scale, and

influence, however, have forced the industry to face many unforeseen, difficult ethical

dilemmas. These dilemmas weren’t necessarily created by the tech industry, but many in

the industry find themselves at a “convergence point” where they can no longer leave

these issues at the margins.

Because of “big tech’s” perceived power, lagging regulation, and an absence of common

industry practices, many consumers, investors, employees, and governments are

demanding greater overall accountability from the industry.

5. Common factors that led to the ethical/moral dilemmas.

-Most of us won’t be tempted to cook the books, take a bribe or rob our customers, as

Christopher McLaverty and Annie McKee are quick to reassure us in an article written

for the Harvard Business Review. However, research undertaken by McLaverty confirms

that “many of us face an endless stream of ethical dilemmas at work”.

The vast majority of those dilemmas are not related to corruption per se, but fall into one

of three areas: competing interests, misaligned incentives, or clashing cultures.
