Evaluate the act using Kant Categorical Imperative
1. State your proposed act as a maxim:
“ Van Dijk will take ZAR 1.9 billion (A) when he’s done a year’s work (C) in order to get
really , really rich (E).”
2. Restate this maxim as a universal law :
“ All people (7 billion of them ) will take ZAR 1.9 Billion when they’ve done a year’s work
in order to get really , really rich .”
3. Ask whether your maxim is conceivable in a world ruled by the universal law :
In the current economic strain , it is likely to find an individual taking home ZAR 1.9
billion after a year’s work has been completed . There would be so much going on in the
market places , prices may rise up and the will be insufficient of products within the
market place as people will have so much desire to purchase goods and services .
Businesses may have insufficient funds to pay everyone that is employed within their
company . If a company takes out more money than the company makes to pay their
employees then this will results in a loss .The goal a business is to generate profit at the
end of the day or month .The decline of salaries may force businesses to close down .
