Exploring Ethical Dilemmas
Your Tool Description
Ethics
- An ethical dilemma is a situation where a person must choose between two or more options, each with good and bad consequences, making it hard to decide what is the right thing to do. It usually involves a conflict between moral values or principles. Ethical dilemmas are part of everyday life, and helping young people think critically about them supports their growth into thoughtful, responsible individuals. This tool uses relatable ethical dilemma scenarios to spark meaningful conversations about fairness, honesty, and the impact of decisions on others.
- By working through these scenarios together, you provide a safe space for young people to reflect on their values and how they guide their actions. This process helps them understand the role of ethics in their daily lives and equips them with a framework for making thoughtful, responsible decisions. By discussing these ethical dilemmas with you, young people gain confidence in making ethical decisions and develop a deeper understanding of how their dilemmas affect themselves and others. This tool empowers them to act with integrity and make a positive impact in their world.
- Why it's important: This tool helps young people navigate the complex decisions they face by exploring ethical dilemmas in a safe and thoughtful way. Reflecting on real-life scenarios encourages them to think critically, consider multiple perspectives, and align their actions with their values. These conversations build integrity, strengthen decision-making skills, and prepare them to act with responsibility and fairness in everyday life.
