Ethical dilemma
An ethical dilemma is a situation in which the professional is not able to decide whether
to perform the task ethically or not (Wright et al., 2014). The given case is in relation to the ICT
professional ken who is preparing a video that is to be published live in the coming period. The
deadline is approaching but the video has not been completed in technical terms as the testing of
the project is still due. If the video will be released in this manner then it will be raising issues
and so ken is in dilemma as to what needs to be done (Youtube, 2016). There is the need that the
completion of the action should have been done on time as that is the requirement of ethics but
the same is not made and not the situation of ethical dilemma has arisen.
The contract is made and the other parties are raising questions on his performance and to
carry them in an ethical manner he has requested the party to provide him with the additional
time of one month. In both the situation there will be unethical measures which will be involved
and so this is the situation of an ethical dilemma.
Ken’s actions
Ken was in the situation of ethical dilemma and in that he has taken certain actions in
relation to the video. He has not complied with the laws and has made the video live on the
deadline without getting it tested. This is unethical behavior in which the quality is not taken into
consideration and the codes of professional conduct have been not complied with (ACS, 2014).
The extra time has been demanded by him but he has taken the decision by himself and has made
the video to be published online.
