Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, a moral conflict in simple words occurs when a situation arises and one's sense of determining what is right or wrong in that situation becomes difficult.

For example, consider a scenario involving loyalty, a young boy (whom we'll call Ted) raised by a single dad, witnessed his dad committing a severe crime against the dad of his childhood friend Paul. Joe is called to testify as a witness to his father's crime,

  • If he chooses to be honest, then his father who has shown him so much love throughout the years would be sent to jail for the rest of his lifetime.
  • If he decides to be dishonest in his testimony, then his childhood friend's father would fail to get justice, but his own dad would go free.
