Types of moral dilemma
Meanwhile, there are two types of moral dilemmas, hypothetical moral dilemmas (They pose abstract problems that are hardly correlated in real life. They generally come from literature, the mass media, or the imagination itself; the main disadvantage they have is the lack of identification they suppose) and the real moral dilemmas (They present conflictive situations extracted from daily life and being based on real and close events, identification with them is favored, of course these turn out to be the most effective when it comes to having to carry out teachings like the ones we were talking about).
Although there is no concrete and successful formula when it comes to having to resolve a moral dilemma, we must say that the criterion that is usually applied in these situations is to choose the option that involves the lesser evil.
