Introduction of Philosophical Essay

                It can be said that the principle of universality is a type of moral test that gets the attention of individuals to think of a world in which a presented approach is used by every other person. Most importantly, it is a basic principle for the duty-based, dermatological ethics. For instance, if we are to lie, we would have to think what will become if every person started to lie and what would happen if every individual begin to donate to charity.

        It serves as a test of litmus by indicating if acts are acceptable in a moral way or not. Self-contradiction will be led by the universalize of some actions when they are unacceptable in a moral way. For instance, if every person lied, the norm of telling truth will change which means that nobody is truthful or loyal to an organization and it is not ethical at all.

        The ultimate rule of morality according to Kant should be a moral principle conceived in an abstract way so that it is able to guide in the right direction according to all the possible circumstances. Therefore, generality is the only relevant element of the moral law and the fact that it has universality's formal property, it can be implemented to a moral agent regardless of the time. Kant form this normal chain of reasoning about the traditional moral concepts derived a moral obligation’s primary statement that right actions are the ones that practical reasons would be willing as universal laws (Varden, 2010).

Example from the principle of universality of Philosophical Essay

        For instance, there is a maxim that I must kill other for attaining wealth can never be a necessary and a universal maxim as in the achievement of wealth through murdering, I would be necessarily and universally becoming a murder target of other individuals. That is why, I have the best duty about following the maxim that I must not kill others for attaining wealth. For determining if a person has an imperfect duty, one experiments to observe if by willing the maxim was necessary and universal, individuals acts towards the person in a way that the person thinks they will. It means that a person wouldn’t wish to act like that towards other.

        Therefore, some maxims can be universalized in the absence of undermining the relation between the goal and the action but the willing of one towards the necessity and universality of maxim would actually result in the actions contradict the will of person (Rawls, 2009).

For instance, the maxim regarding I should be neglecting my friends for avoiding helping them is not contradictory to the person. For sure, nothing about ignoring the friends for avoiding helping them undermines the ability of person to neglect friends for not helping them. However, if the person thinks that almost every person neglects their friends for avoiding helping them, the will be contradicted by the person in that person would like to have his friends do things. That is why, a person doesn’t have a perfect duty in not neglecting the friends to avoid helping them.

        There are some alternative actions that I have to done according to the maxim, I just have to join good company that will help me to achieve the required goals of my life. I consider that is the valuable alternative action that I have mentioned. The maxim behind this is that you have understand the relationship between action and goal of a person, if you wanted to achieve something in your life so you have to ignore negative people in your life. The right choice according to this principle is that I have to utilize each and every part that is according to the maxim and also that is according to the ethics (Gilson, 2012).

My problematic situation of Philosophical Essay

        I had a very close friend in my neighborhood and we often went to the library together. We had a couple of other friends but not anyone from the Black race. From the very start, I never thought about things which could indicate that maybe I was discriminating. However, the same couldn’t be said about my friend. There was a time when we were sitting in the library and there was an empty seat beside him. I didn’t know when but my friend refused to let the person sit in that chair. When I looked up, it was a black person and how he was behaving, told me that he was quite hurt by the actions of my friend. Before I could do something, he walked away leaving us alone. I was quite angry at how my friend was exhibiting a discriminating behavior and I asked him about what was wrong. He acted in a casual way and told me that it was completely right for him to be like that because the other person belonged to the Black race (Bowie, 2017).

        He believed that it was perfectly right for him to be superior to someone who was not white and there was an issue with how he was thinking. I thought that my friend was not wrong how he perceived this superiority was wrong. I told him about how we act depends on what we perceive and think. Maybe he had heard about it before but there is nothing like superiority and I resolved the situation while changing his opinion about Black people (Cholbi, 2016).

Conclusion of Philosophical Essay

        Summing up all the discussion from above it is concluded that the use of Kantian ethics is one of the best principle to deal with any kind of conflict in the organization. If the organization wanted to remove any conflict from the organization so they have to work on according to the ethics. The Kantian ethics is one of the best solution to solve any conflict in the organization. There are some benefits of using Kantian ethics. There are some advantage that include, the molarity of Kant is totally straight forward and also based on some reasons.

        This method is very easy to apply because it has deonological nature. The maxim he uses is quite easy to apply in any part of person’s life. It only focus on how to treat people in real life and solve their basis issues. The purpose of this is that it only focus on how to treat people around you with fairness. It works on solving the issue of the minority and ensure that there issues are solved. There is only one weakness in this is that its maxim are extremely simple and also it is quite difficult for everyone to implement it in their life.
