Moral Dilemmas
Moral dilemma is a situation in which a
person is faced with two or more conflicting
ethical or moral principles, making it
difficult to determine the right course of
action. In such situations, there is often no
clear-cut solution that satisfies all ethical
considerations, leading to a feeling of moral
conflict and uncertainty.

international laws and regulations, cultural
differences, and changing public attitudes
towards various issues.

These structural moral dilemmas pertain to cases involving
network of institutions and operative theoretical paradigms. As
they usually encompass multi-sectoral institutions and
organizations, they may be larger in scope and extent than
