What will be an ideal response?

An ethical dilemma is a predicament with major conflicts among different interests where determining the most appropriate course of action is confounded by a set of solutions that are equally justifiable, and often equally imperfect. Possible actions may be mutually exclusive: The choice of one automatically negates the other(s).
Example:
Imagine you are a manager and visit a factory owned by an affiliate in Colombia, only to discover the use of child labor in the plant. Upon studying the problem, you learn that child labor is accepted in many developing economies. There are more than 50 million children working in India alone. Girls are vulnerable, and may be abused or exploited. Work prevents children from attending school, which would improve their prospects for a better life. But you also learn that without their children's income, families often go hungry. If the kids are dismissed from the plant, many will turn to other income sources, including prostitution and street crime. The age at which children are deemed adults varies worldwide, sometimes as low as 15 years. This situation presents an ethical dilemma because child labor is a human rights violation-but in this case it also provides a necessary source of income and serves a positive purpose that might be thwarted if the children are prevented from working.
