Ethical Dilemma
The ethical dilemma involves an addict of pornography called Joe. Joe likes watching porn for the purpose of sexual stimulation. He enjoys masturbating behind closed door. This act never fees wrong to Joe. He justifies innocence though believing that no one gets harm. However, this changes when he reads reports regarding the injustice done through forced commercial sexual exploitation of victims of human trafficking, most of who are young girls and women. He discovers that through visiting these porn sites, he is promoting the very unjust businesses and people behind. Owing to the addiction, his ethical dilemma in this context is whether to harm himself through withdrawal symptoms, in efforts to discredit the injustice, or continues taking pleasures at the expense of other human’s mysteries.
