ASSIGNMENT: 01STUDENT NUMBER: 69616205
NAME: NONTUTHUZEO MTHEMBU
Step 1: Evaluate the act using Kant's categorical imperative (We've done the
first two stages for you)
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 (7.6 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; and
finally you need to fill in this stuff......
No, it is no conceivable and unreal in the world governed by the universal law. If
each person (7 billion of them) gets to earn ZAR 1.9 billion as soon as they are
finished with the year’s work in due course every single of the companies will be
bankrupt including the country itself will be out of money and as soon as the country
runs out of funds the value of ZAR will be very low like that one of a Zimbabwean
dollar and in due course people drastically poor. The economy will also be affected
by this. Although in a world ruled by the universal law, all people (7 billion of them)
would take ZAR 1.9 billion when they have done a year’s work in order to get really,
really filthy rich.
4. Ask whether you would rationally act on your maxim in such a world.
And this stuff.....
NO, I would not because it is not conceivable in the world we’re living in. And also
simply because it is morally wrong to earn such large amount of money even if I
have done a year’s work when there are people who are critically poor out there
whom some of the days go to bed with an empty stomach. People would also stop
going to work because there is enough money for them to live for certain period of
time, and now the big question is: what is going to happen to the companies that
employed those people? Well the answer to this question is simple! Those
companies will fail and that will force them to close that will lead to the country’s
breaking point, the economy will fall down.
