Sometimes, however, those selves – with all their convictions, passions, and values – come into conflict. Then, we must make a choice. Which self will triumph and which self must be sacrificed? Can we find a compromise? These choices are sometimes simply matters of avoiding embarrassment or preventing hurt feelings or confessing dishonesty. Sometimes they are matters of life and death. How do people resolve these conflicts between public and private? What situations challenge their honesty and integrity? How can people slip into hypocrisy or conflicts of interest?
