This is really a fascinating dilemma, though. This poster's reader is called upon to help the man in blue choose his best line of action. Should he obstruct the train's course, just five people would perish or six depending on it. Still, both of them are far from perfect so it is rather a bad decision to make. This moral conundrum compels people to face the hard facts of life-and-death decision-making. Why couldn't they create a choice whereby none of the red people under threat would suffer? This question emphasises the difficulty of moral decisions and the sometimes extreme options we have to make in life. The man in blue is going to kill at least five people whatever decision you take. This situation reminds us of the moral ramifications of our decisions and the weight of duty in leadership, therefore motivating us to consider our principles and the results of our activities.
