of the solu weighed the situation and supported his decision with good Moreover, moral imagination is necessary but not enough to make a moral decision. One needs courage to act out whatever chosen best solution of the current problem. In the case of a morally problematic situation, one needs moral courage to execute the appropriate action. When a person's moral principle is tested by temptation which leads to unethical choices, one needs moral courage to remain faithful to one's moral principle. Added to that, moral courage is also manifested when one corrects a friend or a family member of his/her wrong doings. To exercise one's moral responsibility, one must possess moral courage. "Moral courage is the capacity to overcome the fear of shame and humiliation in order to admit one's mistake, to confess a wrong, to reject evil conformity, to renounce injustice, and also to defy immoral or imprudent orders (Miller, p. 18)." Moral courage begets moral action. There are four components of moral action:- 1) moral sensitivity to others, 2) appeal to principles of reason, 3) committed to do what is ought to be done, and 4) respective of the process and laws. These four components must be observed to make one's action morally appropriate. However, applying these components in our everyday life is not as easy as enumerating them. One may struggle on how to apply these components. Some people may challenge your ethical principle and bring you to the comfort of their unprincipled life. There are conditions in our life that we experience moral complexity. This is commonly happening when we cannot exercise what we think is morally right due to constraints from authority or superior in our workplace. The moral complexity is called moral distress. "Moral distress is an emotion that is expressed when the moral complexity of a situation is not leading to a resolution, thereby having the potential to cause harm to the individual... painful feelings associated with mental anguish as a result of being conscious of a morally appropriate action, which despite every effort, cannot be performed owing to organizational or other constraints (Gallagher, p. 7)."
