A dilemma is a situation in which a person must choose between two or more options that are all undesirable, or where each option has significant advantages and disadvantages. It often involves moral, ethical, or practical conflicts that cannot be easily resolved. In a dilemma, any decision taken leads to some negative consequence or sacrifice, which makes the choice psychologically or logically difficult. Dilemmas can appear in everyday life, professional contexts, law, and philosophy, where they are used to analyze reasoning, values, and decision-making processes.
