I'm asking for school work
my brain is fried

I have a paper to write about an ethical dilemma I have or to make up one to write about
I've been reading random examples online but I dunno, I guess it helps more to hear examples that actually happen, rather than a shallow made-up scenario. Gives me more information to pull from.
I don't think I have any dilemmas going on recently enough for me to recall. But I could just be major brain farting


edit:
for those who might not know: ethical dilemma is "a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two courses of action, either of which entails transgressing a moral principle."

@priestess of pie:
Those are some really good ones, actually! Things we don't normally think about but they really are daily dilemmas.
Holy poop you helped me so much, now I have all sorts of subjects coming to mind

@totalanimefan:
I just read a crap ton about it lmao
It starts with how cars were cheaper and easier to obtain in the US, so it became regular for most households to have personal vehicles. But also that the residential zones are so limited here, it causes our building to be more spread out, making travel to get anywhere much longer. There is also less convenience around walking/biking/ect. to get to places because many areas haven't built around such a concept. Plus, again, there's more distance to travel so it's a problem anyways.

On another note, this paper still confuses me like hell
Its like I"m supposed to be doing this with groups but I was told to do it alone as homework. wat
Also it wants me to come up with solutions so I think I chose a hard topic to solve..

@Hachi:
OH MAN dont get me started on single-use plastics. It is definitely a dilemma I definitely become guilty of many times. Like eating out and using the plastic cups or utensils. Or living with people who continue to buy and serve food on styrofoam plates ect. but I use them anyways.
I wish US would ban single use plastics. We could stand to be less lazy and just clean our reusable things.

@totalanimefan:
I argue it a lot when people give me a hard time for not driving. I've been extremely terrified for a LONG time, only recently got to the point where I can drive a car straight down one road for 15 minutes to get to my job. But I still get massive panic attacks if the slightest thing happens, like the other night when my windshield fogged up a bit. Scares me so much not being on my feet, man. I literally just lost a friend 3 weeks ago to a car accident. Hasn't made it any easier to cope in a country so dependent on them.

We'd have to construct better public transportation. They aren't 100% free of environmental footprints, but could minimize it a lot to less vehicles..

@totalanimefan:
gods, I agree! There's a stereotype on the big trucks here for a reason. They tend to drive like assholes. Cutting people off, racing down the roads and getting aggressive. I think it takes a certain personality to even want to drive one of those things. Unless its required for a job, of course.

@Jolly: i just have the Dilemma that I want my baby come out of me now. But ist still 10 weeks to due day. Its so egoistical of me thinking that way! Because i know she isnt ready but i want to Hold her!

@totalanimefan:
I love traveling around by bus or train, honestly. It's healthier using your own two legs a bit more anyway!

Also, as it turns out, this bit wasn't even meant to be my homework. Information got mixed up and this is meant to be discussed during class NEXT week, with everyone together. Rather than writing it out alone But she liked my papers of car rants.

@Miss Sandman:
Aww I'm happy for you!! Soon!

@Hachi:
Yeah, I actually watched a video somewhere saying that its better to not recycle at all, than to recycle incorrectly. Because of the issue we've had with china denying our recycling and its becoming too much for workers to have to sift through it all.
I just want to stop using single use plastics all together~

@songlord:
That's a tricky one indeed. Maybe the counselor can advise you on how to help her while still showing fairness?

@Mousy:
That kinda makes me think of my housemate's daughter. She's 10 but she can barely write or spell and her reading is pretty rough. Her teachers become really impatient and rude toward her, not helping the situation at all. I'm sure they probably face the similar dilemma "should I hold her back or not?"

But on the other hand, she has a mother who is not very encouraging. She's very passive aggressive while the kid is trying to get through homework, and just keeps complaining "just get it done so I can go to bed" and "you spelled that wrong. come on, just get it right" kind of things like... I suspect the kid is just dyslexic and under a lot of stress that her mom piles on. Then her inability to focus comes in..

I wonder how similar this case could be to your student? How are they learning at home, what kind of rudeness or distractions are they dealing with?
