how do ethical dilemmas in our lives increase stress?

Answer 1

You are caught between what is easy and what is correct

Answer 2

Anytime you have to make a decision your body goes into action. You can feel your body chemistry kick in. Sometimes that can be really good. Sports for example can cause a really great kind of stress. You have to think, decide, move. The stress is good because the immediate cause of the stress goes away and eventually the game ends.

The trouble with ethical dilemmas is that there is often no clear answer or easy solution to the problem. You body chemistry kicks in but you can't act. The chemistry switches from mode to mode as your mind goes through the possibilities. Eventually you wear yourself out without having resolved anything. The upset of the normal balance in your body can leave in a constant state of stress.

Answer 3

Should I lie on a job application to spare my children from being thrown in the street? Should I ignore my boss’s hypocrisies to keep my position? Making ethical decisions can be difficult. We make most of them in a world of economic, professional and social pressures, which can obscure moral issues. Often we don’t know or understand crucial facts. We must rank competing moral claims and must be able to predict the likely consequences of choices.
Ethical decision making requires more than a belief in the importance of ethics. It also requires ethical sensitivity to implications of choices, the ability to evaluate complex, ambiguous and incomplete facts, and the skill to implement ethical decisions effectively.
Ethics refers to principles that define behavior as right, good and proper. Such principles do not always dictate a single "moral" course of action, but provide a means of evaluating and deciding among competing options.

The terms "ethics" and "values" are not interchangeable. Ethics is concerned with how a moral person should behave, whereas values are the inner judgments that determine how a person actually behaves. Values concern ethics when they pertain to beliefs about what is right and wrong. Most values, however, have nothing to do with ethics. For instance, the desire for health and wealth are values, but not ethical values.
