A dilemma is a situation with two possible solutions. The outcome you choose isn't clear-cut acceptable. Its options are called "horns of the problem". The term is often a cliche, but it helps distinguish a dilemma from other predicaments. In some cases, a dilemma can be categorized as either a moral or legal issue.
False dilemmas
A false dilemma (also known as false binary or false dichotomy) is an informal fallacy that limits a person’s options due to an untrue assumption. This fallacy is very common in decision-making. False dilemmas can be hard to spot as they are based on invalid premises rather than valid ones. Nonetheless, you should be aware of it and avoid it whenever possible.
False dilemmas can help children to make sense of complicated situations. For example, instead of asking your child which shirt he wants to wear, ask him to choose between two shirts. By doing so, you'll empower your child to make a decision.
Conflict-of-Interest situations
Conflict of Interest is when two parties have opposing interests. This situation can prevent someone from making an unbiased decision. A worker who bribes an employer to buy inferior goods may be against the best interests of his or her employer. Sometimes, it can happen when two groups have to be addressed and one group is not in the best interest of the other.
Any person involved in an organization can be subject to a conflict of interests. Board members, in particular, have a responsibility to act in best interests of the organisation. This duty should not be equated with personal gain or any special interests.
Symmetrical cases
Conflict between competing moral rules can lead to symmetrical quandaries. In such cases, an agent's role-related responsibilities take precedence above his or she general obligations. He or she might choose to play more than one role. But, this is not an all-inclusive situation. Different cases might require different precepts.
When the agent has to choose between actions that will harm or benefit another party in symmetrical situations, the moral dilemma is created. These situations are often dismissed as unimportant or spurious because they don’t give an honest reason for what the agent did. Randomization doesn't give an agent a reason to act. Randomization is supported by the argument that arbitrariness poses a threat to authorship.
Interpersonal moral conflicts
Interpersonal moral disputes are conflicts that arise between individuals regarding moral and ethical questions. These conflicts are usually caused by conflicting personal values. Although factual conflicts can often be resolved by rechecking a credible source, value conflicts are more difficult to resolve. This conflict arises when individuals have drastically different beliefs and values.
There are two types of moral conflicts between interpersonal relationships: world-imposed or self-imposed. Agent's actions can lead to self-imposed dilemmas, such as two contradictory promises or two different events. World-imposed dilemmas can only be solved by another person and are not created by the agent. This distinction is vital for moral theories.
