Ethical dilemma
As is known to us, the moral dilemma in the usual case refers to the two answers, which you are likely to decide on the case, you need to make a difficult choice; usually this option is to focus on the choice between the result and process, which is more important at all. In our normal lives, there are a lot of issues which we need to adopt an different attitude to face, even should do, however sometimes, we are unable to determine, especially in the areas of morality, the choice is really difficult for itself to judge right or wrong, on the hand, you can say these two options are right if both of them are beneficial to people in different situations, on the other hand it can also be said that both of the two options are wrong because the choice we made will make people feel confused, and moral tools of human behavior, and so had to say it a little ironic feeling. Also morality is a social ideology, after many years living out of the correct value orientation. Sometimes people will be confused, I think this confusion is mainly caused by two aspects, one is process-oriented, and the other is a results-oriented. Let me illustrate:
The first case I want to tell is as follows. A train was fast moving, the driver in the cab of the train was drinking a leisurely cup of coffee, at this moment, he suddenly found that five people were working on the front of the train, but the safety alarms didn't work, he forced brakes, but the brakes did not work either, a high-speed train was closing to the five people, but the five didn't know what would happen to them. At this time the driver found a fork in front of train, unfortunately a person standing on the fork of the road.
