Topic > My moral values ​​- 1107

My values ​​are socially acceptable and I find that my moral actions are supported by my surroundings. Furthermore, in everyday life I feel confident that I have enough values ​​in my toolbox to act morally correctly. On the other hand, the weakness of my moral philosophy is that it doesn't always provide an answer. In my profession as a military officer, I face difficult moral dilemmas during training and operations. As a wartime leader, I am responsible for making life and death decisions, in a chaotic environment with limited information. It's easy to say that I will always act according to my values ​​and those of my company. Do I follow the laws of war or do I act for the greatest good? Will I torture someone to save my family or am I willing to sacrifice my soldiers, my family and myself for that purpose? When I face difficult moral dilemmas, I must consider both the rules and the consequences and, based on my character and core values, make the decision that I think is right.
