ETHICS

I have not really experienced a dilemma in my life up to this day because

in everything I needed to decide on, I proceed to my parents and let them help
me decide based on opinions and ideas we all considered upon before deciding
on what I should do. There are many things to consider in making decisions in
life.

Although I did not encounter dilemma personally, but there is one

American novel in its 3rd sequel, the title of the book was “Always and Forever”,
the third and final installment of the trilogy where the first book was titled “To All
The Boys I Loved Before” by Jenny Han. I read the book online and there was a
certain dilemma that occurred in the novel in which the female lead character has
to decide which college she wants to go. Both colleges offer her preferred course
and she got accepted in both colleges. One was close to her hometown where
she could spend more time with her family and her boyfriend or to the university
where her older sister wanted her to go. At first, she wanted to go to the closest
university to her hometown but after visiting New York where the other university
was located and fell in love with the city, she felt conflicted as to which college
she wants to go and the dilemma occurred. The female lead character got a
series of conflicts within herself as she thought of the future scenarios that could
occur if she chooses one of the colleges. She discussed it with her family and
boyfriend. Her family supported her with whatever she picks and what she really
wanted but her boyfriend felt a different emotion as he wanted his girl to be close
to him even if they are not in the same college. She discussed it with her
boyfriend over and over again until she decided to enter her dream university and
her boyfriend accepting her decision. They did not break up though even if
people say to them that long distance relationship could be the reason why most
lovers break up but they believed in each other love even if the distance was
miles away.

The way that the female lead character assessed the dilemma was great
since proper communication was present although it is hard to break up the news
to one of her loved ones, she seek help and advice from her family before
making the decision and talked with her boyfriend about the decisions she made
which makes the dilemma resolved and no heartaches that happened when the
decision was made. All are happy of her decision and everyone is supportive of
her including her boyfriend. He and she also believe that such a relationship
could survive because they trust each other and believed their love to each other.
For me, assessing the dilemma need careful deliberation and consideration
together with consultation and seeking help from others will make your decisions
better than making the decision on your own because “No man is an Island” -
