    II – DILEMMA AND

    FOUNDATION OF MORALITY

    MEANING OF DILEMMA
    FOUNDATION OF MORALITY

    Vertine Paul Beler

    DILEMMA

     It is a difficult situation in which an individual is


    confronted to choose between two or more alternative
    actions to resolve the problem.
    TYPES OF DILEMMA
    1. Classic Dilemmas - Different criteria, same behavior
    Examples:
    a) Order vs Freedom

    b) Empowerment vs Alignment

    2. Temporal Dilemmas – Same process, different criteria


    applied at a different time
    Examples:
    c) Innovation vs Manufacturability

    d) Speed (customer satisfaction) vs Accuracy (process


    integrity)
    3. Orthogonal Dilemmas – Different behaviors, different criteria
    Examples: Centralization vs Decentralization
    Service orientation vs Product orientation

    4. Sequential Dilemmas - Different behaviors, different times


    Examples: Performance vs Development
    Work vs Home

    5. Unequal Dilemma – The dilemma is split across unequal status


    Examples: High growth vs Organization integrity
    Fiscal stability through cost cutting vs
    Preserving capability
    Product innovation vs Support for existing
    product lines
    MORAL DILEMMA

     It is defined as any situation in which


    the person making the decision
    experiences a conflict between the
    moral rightness of a decision and
    the quality of the results it produces.
     Many times it involve a morally
    wrong decision that produces a
    desirable result, or vice versa.
     Other times it involve a decision in
    which the person is forced to choose
    only one of two good things.
    TYPES OF MORAL DILEMMA
    1. Personal dilemma – These are situations in which an
    individual has a choice to be made between two options,
    neither of which resolves the situation in an ethically
    acceptable fashion.

    2. Organizational Dilemma – Organizational ethics are the


    principals and standards by which businesses operate,
    according to Reference for Business. They are best
    demonstrated through acts of fairness, compassion,
    integrity, honor and responsibility.

    3. Systematic Dilemma – The process of systematic moral


    analysis is predicated on moral rule violations, which result
    in harm to another person or persons.
    FOUNDATION OF MORALITY:
    FREEDOM AS REQUISITE ON MORAL RESPONSIBILITY
     Freedom as the power or right to act, speak, or think as
    one wants without hindrance or restraint; “we do have
    some freedom of choice.”
     Freedom, in politics, consists of the social, political, and
    economic freedoms to which all community members
    are entitled. In philosophy, freedom involves free will as
    contrasted with determinism.
     Kant claims that freedom is the source of all value
     Saint Augustine showed that human is free physically,
    yet bound to obey the law
     For Gorbachev (1988), the principle of
    freedom is a must - refusal to recognize
    this principle will have serious
    consequences to the issue of world
    peace.

     Moral freedom involves freedom over


    the things that matter most.

     Quito (2008) explains that no ethics is


    likewise possible without human
    freedom. (human being are accountable
    for their actions)
    REASON AND IMPARTIALITY

     Immanuel Kant argued that


    “morality was based on reason
    alone, and once we understood it,
    we would see that acting morally
    is the same as acting rationally.”
    Reason enables us to think and
    reflect over actions that we
    intend to do and decide
    which of them to take.

    A mere knowledge of
    morality will not make
    human moral (there has to be
    an application of it, by
    obeying the rules)

    Impartiality is a principle of
    justice holding that decisions or
    judgment on something or
    someone should be objective
    not on the basis of bias or
    prejudice to favor someone
    irrationally
