One of the subjects of the curriculum in Portugal, Philosophy subject, in secondary education, deals with values, ethics, and dilemmas alongside with the analysis of real life situations, either political, social or ecological. There are even some initiatives for children with Philosophy for children programmed for 5- 10 year old students.

Ethical dilemmas are frequently met in class and students need guidance as they often get confused. An example I 've recently met in class : Students gathered money from a school party they had organised to finance a school field trip. The question was : Should they split this money equally to all students covering a part of the ticket or should they support only students who cannot afford any school field trip?

I loved the activity of Orestina, from Italy. I think the most effective way to influence the students way of thinking is by “doing”. At my brother’s school they take 14-year-old students on a trip to sahara, where they live a whole week with saharaui people, they experience from first hand the difficulties they have to access to water, to travel, to cook. When they return they approach topics like the wasting of water in a completely different way.
Also, I love the Daily Dilemma Archive, I didn't know this resource but I think I will introduce some of the suggested discussions in my classroom.

Sustainable thinking is a part of almost all of subjects in our school curriculum, We often discuss on the topics of (over) consuming and saving. Unforunately many big companies´policies allow a lot of disparity. That is why we have to teach now students - the future entrepreneurs to think ethically. Perhaps some things change in the future!

I think it is always important to engage students with real life issues or tasks to help them to enforce their ability to face/solve problems. The best think is to make them participate in dilemma discussions, also called value discussions. These must not be necessarily be connected or inspired by their content learning or subject they are studying. These conversations help students to more fully understand their friends/family or community issues. It also helps them to see the world from different perspectives and expand their emotional intelligence by exercising empathy and social connections. We could start from a reading or a picture.Some important topics faced in classroom could be inspired from different fields: science, religion, economics, politics: for ex. bullying students, violence, war refugees, climate changes and environment. Even literature can help in prompting discussions.

Usually, real life dilemmas discussed in the classroom. An example is : in the island I was working last year they want to install a wind farm.  From one side, it will improve power production in the island but on the other side a lot of habitants, dealing with beekeeping, they had their objections.  So such issues, we debating with my students developing their critical thinking at the sametime.

Both students and adults face life dilemmas in their everyday life. One of our TV channels started showing a series of short videos about happy children. Two weeks ago we watched with my students from high school one of the episodes about a little boy who moved to the Netherlands with his family. Now, he's 6, he has never gone to a Ukrainian school and has never received any marks or grades at school. He is allowed to do whatever he wants, he is not better and not worse than his other classmates. My students divided into two sides: some of them thought that it was excellent not to estimate who was better and who was worse, theother thought it was really bad because this boy might never learn anything, might not have any ambitions and goals, might not receive any good education. Finally, we came to the conclusion that everyone had his or her own way and nobody can offer a universal style of life and learning.

# data[].attributes.body
Students are so empowered when you give them real-life challenges.
They understand the importance of that and feel more committed, especially if they work on something they care about.
For example, I think climate change and food challenges are really suitable for that goal.

Real life dilemmas are always present in our classes. Every time a student misbehaves or doesn't follow the school rules or just simple rules regarding socialization, teachers and students face real life dilemmas. Students are asked to think about their atittude and their consequences. Everyone thinks on how to solve these problems, brings solutions to the class and discuss in groups solutions for each problem. It is not easy, and many times students do not want to think on their consequences and continue with the same behaviour. Changing minds and attitudes cooperatively is rather difficult.

# data[].attributes.body
The real life dilemmas are necessary in any class in order to help the students understand real life. In some classes we organise real life tests and last year we worked on bullism to let them think about relationships among peers and it was very interesting. This year we are working on immigration and some of the questions coming from our students were:
How could we welcome new immigrants?
Is our city ready to pepare them to face pacific cooperation?
What services can our community offer them?

I strongly belive that use life dilemmas help students to understand because they connect it into their life.

In modern society we are always, more than ever, involved in real-life dilemmas. The keyword to solve them is 'fair'. If we really want high quality standards of life, that means wellbeing, than the elder and the young generations have to learn how to be fair - fair in interpersonal relations - fair in trade - fair in opportunities.
Ethical und sustainable thinking is what a teacher has to transfer in students. Everyone is part of this wonderful and coloured planet called Earth, and everyone is therefore morally obliged to do his best to respect environment and people.

When teaching French or Spanish A-level content, lots of topics are very controversial and students needs to look at both sides of a coin and come to a conclusion.

Developing Ethical Thinking Skills
I have worked with 9th graders on developing ethical thinking. I had this idea on my mind many years ago. Here's how to do it:
- Students will work in groups of four.
- Choose contentious pictures from newspapers, magazines or books.
- Each group will be given one picture.
- Make up general questions that will apply to any picture, such as "What is happening?". They will then interpret the situation.
- Next, ask them if they think it is right or wrong that this fact is happening and what would be the solution.
- From then on they will be developing their ethical thinking skills.
- Finally the groups will show their picture to the class, describe the situation and provide their answers.
The more poignant the pictures the better will be the answers.

We work a lot with ethical dilemmas in my psychology classes, there is a module in ethical development where the development of ethical thinking is discussed, The students' favorite is the one initially used in research in this area: an seriously ill woman's husband goes to the drug store to buy her a medication. She will die if she doesn't get it. However, the pharmacist sells that drug at a very high price, to profit from that. The man cannot afford to buy the medication and the pharmacist does not do any discount. Should the man steal the medicine from the drug store?
Depending on the student's age, different answers are expected. I'm just saying that to point out that a kid's stage of ethical development should always be considered when talking about responses to ethical dilemmas.

- What will be the consequences if global warming continues as it is now? What can we do to combat it?
- Give children experience of different political systems through roleplay and then discuss what they thought.
- Should everything be fair or should it be equitable? What's the difference? Why is it important?
- Who wins and who loses when we can buy products for less than they cost to produce?
- What if we killed all mosquitoes to eradicate malaria?
