<p>Would it be acceptable to write about the ethical dilemna in writing the essay itself (the pressure to exagerate or hyperbolise something).</p>
<p>Will that topic be highly personal, detailed, honest and revealing about you?</p>
<p>When I was trying to come up with one, I decided that I personally didn't feel that I could write about a significant ethical dilemna honestly. Then it hit me that this in itself was an ethical dilemna that I was confronting! I mean why not write about it?</p>
<p>No it's not an ethical dilemma. It's a dilemma of sorts, but there's no ethical quandray attached to it.</p>
<p>Good post gollygoshkins! Following that post:</p>
<p>Suppose you are walking past a bank. The thought to go in and rob the bank occurs to you. "Hmm, should I rob it or not? I really need the money!"</p>
<p>That is not an ethical dilemma. It is perhaps a test of character, but there is no doubt about what one should do in that situation.</p>
<p>An ethical dilemma occurs when there is something ethically to be said for more than one course of action. For example, parents have obligations to their children, but also to their own parents. If a conflict between these different obligations arises, what should be done?</p>
<p>I think I understand now. Thanks for the advice!</p>
