Categorical Imperative Command

             Categorical Imperative commands state an act only on
             that maxim which you can at the same time will to a
             universal law. In other words an act that should be
             followed only if people will follow it. If you jumped
             off a bridge, think if everyone would do the same and
             it would become socially accepted. It states an
             interesting point if you think many of todays and the
             past legislature was in fact developed this way. Toss
             the people an idea and see if they follow it through
             time changing it to better accommodate the people and
             the views at the time. The bible was established based
             on the Ten Commandments a bunch of thoughts on how
             life should be lived by a form of rule structure in
             plain view. The people took on these rules and passed
             them on to eventually adapt to what's right. So when
             deciding most decisions one would think if the world
             would follow and if it would form into a solid ethic.
             The problem is every social structure from New Jersey
             to California from South America to Africa runs on a
             very different structure. Therefore, who is to say
             witch groups methods are the right ones to do. In
             Japan, it is customary to take off one's shoes when
             eating and in India the cow is sacred. Rules are
             developed differently as wide of a range as through a
             country or perhaps a county or even as small as a
             So how do you differentiate everyone's actions to
             dissect and arrive to the final answer of what is
             right. In addition, this rule does not seem to focus
             on what is right at all but what is socially accepted.
             In world war two, it was accepted to ridicule Jews
             everyone around you did it but did it make it right.
             It follows the rule to do what you think everyone
             around would do. So there are flaws within the rule
             that if one would follow it could lead to disaster
             depending on who exactly you are modeling after. One
             thing human's do from birth is follow or model after
             others. Wheth...
