Ethical Dilemma: Supply Chain Management Living in America we do not realize what other people are suffering and going through. In this case there are young girls suffer from the probabilities of being prone to steal, begging, being in the streets and prostitution. In my opinion, many of us living in the states judge those who do not live our same lifestyle. However, we do not realize how the conditions and circumstances these people are living in. In this case, these young girls are the main providers for their families and working is the only way to keep them away from poverty. Therefore, if I were a buyer of a major retail discount store selling economy-priced goods my ultimate goal would be to make a high margin. I am experiencing price competition and I seek an opportunity to import from a low-wage region in Asia without realizing the conditions in Asia. Having a well-known celebrity endorse the product can raise polemic and people are being more aware of all conditions. Therefore, knowing exactly where and how the product is being made is key and can really prevent unethical practices. How can the ethical dilemma be addressed from a Christian worldview (i.e., what guidance from a Biblical perspective could be applied to understand and possibly resolve the ethical dilemma)? From a biblical perspective and as a Cristian I would never like to sign a deal internationally if I am not aware of what is really happening. However, in this case I am faced to a situation where
An ethical dilemma is defined as a moral issue, where a situation has two equivalent undesirable alternatives and neither choice will resolve the ethical predicament.
People from all walks of life face many ethical dilemmas. These dilemmas have consequences. Our worldview determines how we deal with these dilemmas, and guides us to the right decisions.

put child labor laws in place. Along with that, the fear of the fact that exploitation may be occurring is one huge reason people favor boycotting manufacturers that use child labor. It’s a valid worry though as, according to the history article by Naoki Tanaka “Much Too Young to Work So Hard”, “Children were exploited because as workers their labor was cheap and because their age made them easy to order around.” Yes, as said in the article “Nike Pledges to End Child Labor And Apply U.S. Rules Abroad” by John H. Cushman, Jr.,children over there aren’t exactly earning a good wage, but neither is anyone else. Everyone over there is in poverty, which is why the kids need to go work in the first place. They’re going over to work willingly because it keeps them and their families alive (Faullmüller 112). So while many may worry about these children being exploited, the children need the money and boycotting whomever they work for deprives them of the opportunity to get said

The Euthyphro dilemma is the question if Gods’ commands are moral because they are inherently good or because the commands are divinely commanded and are moral. (Cook 99) If people are following the commands of religion without the internal reflection of its rationality as it pertains to ethical and moral justice, then one could perform acts that defy “rational morality” because of their faith. (Cook 99) On the other side, one that rejects religious faith and goes fully off their own moral compass has the problem of that there is no baseline for them to align their moral compass. For example, on a ship, there are multiple compasses that can each check against each other to determine error and accuracy for corrections. When there is a single compass if it goes off course then the ship will also become off course. So the overall dilemma is determining the right amount of religion in ethics to prevent either extreme from happening.
In this scenario I will not choose to respond by stating the choice I would make, I will simply respond by offering the possible decision I could make. The dilemma I face is that there is not enough information to make an informed decision. This scenario has limited information that is crucial to the decision making process. For me the issue at hand requires that I make an ethical decision based on limited information. Therefore, at this point any decision I make would be based on assumptions that I read from the information provided. I am not trying to use a technicality to respond to this scenario, but deep within this scenario is an ethical question. What do I view as right and wrong? In addition, to ethics is the biblical concepts of salvation, forgiveness, redemption, and judgment.
For we have much to discuss about it, but few historical data, according to the Scriptures, we have examples that do not reflect moral, ethical and responsible choices, according to different viewpoints. Which made me recapitulate the topic of discussion. People as individuals and as a community can make decisions based on their own judgment, but it is difficult to catalog in moral or ethical. The selection of which one is exposed to decide involves
An ethical dilemma is an incident that causes us to question how we should react based on our beliefs. A decision needs to be made between right and wrong. I have experienced many ethical dilemmas in my lifetime, so I know that there is no such thing as an ethical dilemma that only affects one person. I also know that some ethical dilemmas are easier to resolve than others are. The easy ones are the ones in which we can make decisions on the spot. For example, if a cashier gives me too much change, I can immediately make a decision to either return the money or keep it. Based on Kant’s, categorical imperative there are two criteria for determining moral right and wrong. First, there is universalizability, which states, “the person’s
Everyday individuals are faced with issues associated with ethical dilemmas. Ethical dilemmas involve an individual’s behavior toward a moral standard, which may have been established from previous generations and passed along. In upholding the standards taught individual may be forced to take a particular action involving a decision when a behavior is considered non-ethical is when an ethical dilemma occurs. It can become difficult at times in making the correct decisions or solutions to the situation, which is why a code of ethics is established in the workplace. The code of ethics in the
The moral dilemma
When making ethical decisions I rely on the morals that I’ve learned from religious teachings. I grew up in a Christian home, so it was only natural to emulate my parents in how they made ethical decisions. As well as religious teachings, the laws set in place by our society influence the outcome of my ethical decisions. The two, however, do occasionally conflict.
An ethical dilemma is a conflict between two moral imperatives. There are five basic moral principles: the value of life, goodness/rightness, justice/fairness, honest/truth-telling, and individual freedom/autonomy. When a person is faced with an ethical dilemma, he or she is forced to choose the lesser violation of the two. Not only does this occur in everyday life, but authors also use this plot line in their novels. An example of an ethical dilemma novel is “The Hunger Games.” In fact, “The Hunger Games” contains several ethical dilemmas.
Lindsay Rohland (2015) defined an ethical dilemma as, “a complicated situation in which one must make a difficult choice or decision in the face of conflicting morals.” The choice between right or wrong may seem a challenging but a person’s morals are typically influenced by religion. Christianity has answers for every dilemma a person could be facing. The ethical dilemma of pornography will be analyzed by the Christian worldview, and compared to the perspective of the pantheistic worldview.
