Answer:
An ethical dilemma is a situation in which you must choose an option that are neither entirely 'good' or 'bad.' You have to evaluate your options carefully, and your answer shows your inner philosophy.
Example:
You, your spouse, and your children went on a vacation for several days in a country with very strict drug laws. When you were all at an airport, a police security dog was alerted by one of the bags that your family is holding. The security officer picks up your son's bag and opens it, finding illegal drugs inside. You know that it was your son's, but you also know that if he was detained in the country, he would endure unspeakable torture and even death. The officer is demanding whose bags it was among your family. Do you...
a) Admit that it was your son's and leave without him
b) Lie and say that it was yours to avoid him from incarceration
