Ethical Dilemma - Final Draft

Fabrice Tshiyoyi Banyingela Professor Shelby Scoffield - BYU Idaho ENG 301 Advanced Writing & Research 16 October 2021 Ethical Dilemma Our societies need rules to guide our actions toward desired results. When applied correctly, rules ensure everyone’s rights and protect us from abuses; disobedience on the other side may lead to punishment or chaos.

When applied correctly, they ensure everyone’s rights and protect us from abuses; disobedience on the other side may lead to punishment. The French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau said that “society corrupts the pure individual.” His thought clearly argues that men are limited and corrupted by social arrangements.   In some situations, people’s decision goes against the rules for some personal gain.
