Ethics are defined as a system of values and beliefs which investigate human’s actions are rightness and wrongness (Trevino & Nelson, 2011). In particular circumstance as the result of awareness differences of ethics, humanity may reply the same action in many different ways and may cause psychological conflicts. In other words, a situation in which there is no obvious right or wrong solution, these kinds of conflicts are called ethical dilemmas. Conflicts may occur in human living environment (Ghillyer, 2010). In this case, Alan and John both work as procurement officers responsible for souring suppliers but only one positions will be available between them, Jenny is unsure whether she should do John a favour to give him a job, because he has formed a friendship with Jenny and other situation and involved in ethical dilemmas. Firstly, two ethical theories were mentioned. Again use two relevant of solving ethical dilemmas in addition with the suitable theory. In this paragraph, according to William H, Vincent, and George (2009) doctor defines ethical dilemmas as “a situation which is no oblivious wrong or right, fairness or unfairness, good or bad and justice and injustice decision, note that there isn’t a proscribed right or wrong answer here. The choice depends; it’s about a right or right answer” (p. 6). Dilemma is a complex situation which often involves an apparent mental conflict between moral imperatives, in which to obey one would issue in transgressing another (“Wikipedia,” n.d.). In Jenny’s case, she was present in the problem that she cannot decided whether she should do John a favour to give the job to him. In this situation no matter which people was selected, the other would be get harms from Jenny’s decision.

Whether Jenny gives the job to John or not, the benefits of the Omax Company still carry on the same as before the decision made. In different consideration that egoism also is an important ethical point. Egoism also called self-interest. As Self-interest is the basic starting point and end with ideological system and moral principles. Jenny do a favour gives a job to John, after that; there is still a friendship between John and Jenny. In John’s benefits that he still having income stability helps him out of the trouble, avoid something distasteful wills happened in his life. In the real society, to the best of one’s abilities pick up the solutions for the ethical dilemmas which with least harms.
According to McGonigle and Matrian (2014), ethical decision making is a systematic process that refers to making informed choices pertaining to ethical dilemmas using a set of established standards to differentiate right from wrong. Ethical dilemmas tend to occur when moral issues, that is society’s opinion of what is right and wrong, raises questions that cannot be answered using clearly defined rules, facts, or authoritative views (McGonigle & Matrian, 2014, p. 71). Fortunately, ethical decision making frameworks can be used as a guide to assist clinicians to reach a rational and justifiable decision (McGonigle & Matrian, 2014). In the case study presented, the Ethical Model for Ethical Decision Making will be applied to analyze an ethical dilemma and to synthesize information obtained using problem-solving, critical-thinking, and decision-making skills in order to reach a justifiable decision (McGonigle 2000; McGonigle & Matrian, 2014).

People have opinions and ideas when it comes to ethical dilemmas. There are many examples: The debate on abortion, the trolley problem, and moral absolutism, to name just a few. In all of these examples it appears that emotion and feelings will, at some point, override an important ethical decision that needs to be made. An important factor of an ethical dilemma is how and when it might appear. Some dilemma's, like the debate on abortion, can appear in a way that there is time to talk through all options and available ethical concepts. In this type of dilemma it is possible to see how moral rules and ethical theories can be discussed and a decision made through compromise. In contrast, when a situation that poses dire ethical consequences calls for a moral action there must be a solution that is grounded in moral principle and that can be accessed quickly and efficiently producing the most desirable results. The principal that would seem the best candidate in these situations is consequentialism.
Ethical dilemmas are situations that are difficult to navigate and include making a difficult choice. The Forrester-Miller and Davis Decision Making Model (1996) is a systematic approach to examine a situation and find an ethical, workable, and reasonable solution to a dilemma. The Forrester-Miller and Davis Model is often used in the counseling field for decision making because it implements Kitchener’s five moral principles and it easily adapts to the American Counselor Association’s Code of Ethics (2005) (Neuer, Michel, Davis, & Slaughter, 2011).

Ethics plays a very important role in one social system and basically on how the people will make their actions or decide on a particular thing on whether it is the right or the wrong thing.

[2] An Ethical dilemma is defined as “a situation that arises when all alternative choices or behaviours have been deemed undesirable because of potentially negative ethical consequences, making it difficult to distinguish right from wrong” (Samson and Daft, 2005, p.158)
An ethical dilemma unlike what most people believe, is not a decisions that is to be made between a right and wrong situation. Instead an ethical dilemma is a decisions that the “agent” makes between two course of action that may both be right or similar in nature. These two course of action need to be different but don’t necessarily have to be better than each other. In other words within this ethical dilemma, no matter what choice is being taken, there is an ethical principle that is being compromised and there really is no perfect solution to the problem.
What is dilemma? Dilemma means when one has to select a choice in a difficult situation. Now what is ethics? Ethic means selection between rights things and wrong things and knowingly chooses the right side of the situation.
