➢ Personal dilemmas - a dilemma wherein the person involved is torn between two
moral options but can only fulfill one of them. It may cause dismay to one but

or deny the request because of company protocol?

➢ Structural dilemmas – A dilemma in a bigger perspective like the government

making decisions for its country the best example of which is the current situation
of our country fighting with the pandemic. The government enforced a mandatory
