Dr. Holly Wilson, Chair of the Department of Arts, English and Humanities & Professor of Philosophy at LSU Alexandria, was recently quoted in an online article from UpJourney titled 16 Real-Life Examples of Ethical Dilemmas by the editorial staff.

We face ethical dilemmas on a day-to-day basis, but understanding how to do the right thing —and knowing the difference between right and wrong— can be difficult and oftentimes subjective. In this article, Dr. Wilson discusses the ethics of medical care versus religious beliefs. How we act and how we communicate with each other shapes our society as we know it.
