 Moral Dilemmas:
 The first aspect we looked at are Moral Dilemmas. A dilemma is a problem, but a moral dilemma is where you must chose between two good things.

We then looked at the difference between Ethics and Morals. I had never truly been able to state what this different is, as I had just come to get my own “definition” from experience. I guessed that both are about wrong and right, but that ethics is more of a systematic approach. This proved to be close to the actual definition: That morality is our assumed values of right and wrong, while ethics attempts to provide a systematic and rational justification for these judgements.

 Examples :
 A man who acts to be a civilian but is a undercover terrorist and now is helping the government,but he actually is a dancer by profession and his wife doubts him so she sends a detective around him when she finds that he goes to masjid for praying while he is a hindu , and then one day some people come and catch him and her wife then they the ones who kidnapped him and his wife ask their boss whether to come and see if they have caught the right person or not ,his boss is a enemy of him because he has finished Al-Queda and has ran off. At the time he begged let me read namaz one time and requested to open his hand cuffs he started reading namaz and then started killing people.

so according to me i think it was a threat among muslim people whether this should happen or not after reading the namaz he started killing people that was unethical because how can you kill someone after rading namaz that's a sin commited according to muslims that's why they opposed this film when it was launched and the producer gave almost his everything  and won the case that was done by the muslims on that film, named vishwaroopam. So he was in a moral dilemma he was not able to decide whether he should read namaz and then start killing or he shuldn't have done it what was good ? but to save his nation and people he had to do it and he took a way of justice and started killing people to save his nation and be unethical with his own religion.

However, do these principles always apply? Is it okay to steal if your life is on the line? The problem is that these rules are very general, and it is difficult to apply them to specific situations. I believe that if somebody is about to starve to death, it is immoral for their neighbor to have extra food and keep it for themselves, so I think in that case it would be justified.

However, there are some universal, or “Golden” rules, which can be generalised to any situation. A common example is “Treat others as you would want to be treated” This rule can be used for any situation, and is one of the most common and basic moral rules.
