Some people experience these conflicts when they are old and some come across their dilemmas when they are young. I am not experiencing a midlife crisis, but I have recently and still am going through the biggest conflict that I have come across. This has to deal with me leaving home and going to college. This choice I had to make has had a big impact on my life and others. My dilemma all started senior year in high school. It was time to start the college search or even wrap it up. I was clueless going into the college search. I didn't know where I wanted to go; I didn't even know where to start. So, I picked up a few books, asked for some advice from some teachers, and my guidance counselor, then I started my search. It took me a long time to put a list together, but I finished it. My parents and I looked it over several times before I narrowed the choices. I applied to all the schools and got in to all of them. Choosing one school was a hard choice for me. There were so many things holding me back. Yet, there were so many things pushing me forward towards my future. The biggest thing holding me back was my girlfriend. We had been through so much together in the past year; I didn't want to leave her. She was my first true love, like the love stories you see in the movies. I wanted to stay at least two to three hours away from her, so we could see each other all the time. She was all I thought about at this time so she was number one. My girlfriend wanted me to stay close to home too. I agreed with her about this. She was still in high school so I can understand that it would be hard on her. While we've been dating, other people would tell us that a relationship in college would never last. Other guys would tell me about there past experiences with their.
Moral Dilemma Paper Sharon T. McKnelly University of Phoenix – Online CJA 324 Angela Sonsalla December 6, 2010 Moral Dilemma All people will face a moral dilemma at one point or another, in their lives; it is how a person handles these dilemmas that speak about their character. When faced with a moral dilemma, a person should consider the different courses of action that are open to them, and consider all the possible ramifications of their decisions. Once a person settles on a decision, they should be sure that the reasons for that decision are sound, and will not come back to haunt them. Finally, once a person’s decision has been enacted, they should learn from the outcome of their decision, to help them with their next moral dilemma; and, to make their next decision a better one. In the end you are the one who will lose, or gain, the most from your decisions. My Dilemma I used to work for a Health Insurance Provider, as a ‘captive’ Agent (I worked exclusively for them as an employee, not as a free Agent.), who insisted that we withhold certain information from prospective applicants. If the client had a health condition that we knew would cause the Underwriter to ‘rate-up’ their policy, or add an Exclusion Rider, we were not allowed to do so when selling the client a health plan. To rate-up a plan means to tack on a percentage to the monthly payments, to make up for charges the company will incur for covering those heath conditions. An Exclusion Rider is a tool used to inform the client that a certain condition will not be covered at all, by the policy; sometimes the exclusion is only for a period of time, other times it is permanent. Many times the rating of a policy is so steep that there was no possible way the prospective client could possibly afford the policy; I have often suspected that that is the whole idea. The application process can often take up to.

I use to work for an Insurance Co, a large insurance corporation. I use to think that in a large corporation it would be a professional environment. Much to my dismay I found that I was wrong. I use to have a coworkers named Cheryl, who did not have a strong work ethic. Dealing with this co-worker on an everyday basis presented me with an ethical dilemma. Cheryl continued to disregard her daily work responsibilities and her attitude affect the way our team performs as a whole. I can recall a conversation, when she educated me on the fundamentals of taking sick days. She told me that I could take up to five sick days at a time without providing medical evidence from a doctor. Each of these occurrences, she said, would count as one sick day and not five. Her exact words were, Even if you aren't sick, you should just take the days anyway! At first I thought to myself, Wow, I can really take advantage of this rule, but on the other hand I thought, How is this going to affect my work and the other members of my department? As time went on, Cheryl came to me frequently with different ways to bend or break the rules of the company. She also informed me about employee discounts, tuition reimbursement and other loop holes she had found in the company. It seemed to me that most of her working hours were spent investigating the ways in which the company could be taken advantage of or cheated instead of focusing on work. I felt that this was not a professional attitude. Often she took bogus days off leaving the team to do her work. At first we did not mind, but her frequent absences made our increased workload unbearable. I confronted her and told her that her lack of work ethic affected our entire department and me.
