Question

How and why do ethical dilemmas challenge and develop our identity?

Answer 1

Answer:

Ethical dilemmas challenge and develop our identity by showing what lengths we as humans are willing to go through to do the right thing, it shows how loyal and persistent we are. It shows each person's personality and grit as they choose different responses.

Ethical dilemmas are something that requires a lot of thinking, high risks, and is something where you can easily do the wrong thing but you choose not to, those are the times you see the true person. To find someone's identity and watch as their identity grows you have to put them in situations where their identity does grow, if it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you.

There's a quote by Stephen Fry that says, "You are who you are when nobody's watching.”

That is when your true identity comes out, when you choose the right or wrong thing and nobody will ever know about it.
