Crisis of conscience:- 

• It is a case of ethical dilemma, but often in a stronger sense. When there is a crisis of conscience, the individual fears that his action may be against the voice of conscience and hence ethically wrong.
• Sometimes, we are not able to act in the way that is in compliance with our values and principles. Either due to some external exigencies or material greed, we, sometimes, side-line our voice of conscience and act in a contrary way.
• This, if done for material greed, degrades our human nature and suppresses our conscience. However, there are also circumstances when, due to some external reasons beyond our control, we are not able to act according to our beliefs. Such situations create a feeling of guilt and shame.

Incidence:-

• In a situation, I had Rs. 5000 stored for purchasing high-quality clothes on my birthday. When I went to a shopping center to buy clothes, my pal, known as me, informed me that his mother was unwell and they were speeding to the health center. I knew he became poor and might want a little spare money. 
• I had a crisis of sense of right and wrong whether to spend the money on my clothes or maintain them spare lest my buddy might need it. The choice became tough. If I spent the cash and he faced a problem, I felt guilty. Strong crisis of judgment of right and wrong came about between my private desire and my obligation toward a pal.
• Finally, with quite a few convictions, I decided to maintain the money in my spare time and not buy garments on that birthday.

Conclusion:

Crisis of conscience occurs when personal values clash with a decision or action one is faced with. Resolving such a crisis requires careful evaluation, prioritizing ethical principles, and making choices that align with one’s values and the greater good. By navigating these dilemmas with integrity and a commitment to ethical conduct, individuals can maintain their moral compass and contribute positively to society.
