You will always be right if you can prove that the other option is wrong and can explain why it is right to do what you did. Kidder's dilemma paradigms can help us understand Nick's decisions in the film. You have to understand that he is focused on doing what is right for himself as a professional but also as a father of a young son. The choices he makes as a tobacco lobbyist may cast doubt on his ability to be a responsible father, but he is demonstrating that he understands what the right choice is for the situation. Taking "truth versus loyalty" into consideration, it is clear throughout the film that Nick remains loyal to his boss and his job even though, like the rest of the American population, he has an education that shows the dangers of smoking. This is the right decision because telling the absolute "truth" about smoking would ruin her career to some extent and this would make it difficult to provide a good life for her son. As mentioned above, his decision to continue to advocate against smoking is allowing the "community" to maintain their freedom of choice. The "individual vs community" paradigm is very utilitarian oriented, it is willing to seem like an irresponsible person in the eyes of those who do not understand that he is preserving their freedom. The "justice vs mercy" paradigm is also shown".
