Kant’s Categorical Imperative
According to Kant, we should always act according to the individual 's duty, not anticipating any consequences ahead. If each individual act accordingly, I believe that there will be less negative events occur and more positive outcomes. For example, sometimes doing negative things is wrong, such as lying. If we were to lie for a positive outcome, then it proves that if each individual act accordingly, then there will less negative outcome and it also proves that one has a good will. According to Kant, when there is a good will, there will always be moral because the individual follows a moral, where when the person makes a decision that he or she thinks it is worthed to do so.

The meaning of ‘ qualities’ are actually objects, that is a property with different kinds of variation, such as primary and secondary qualities. For primary qualities, Locke claims that primary qualities are qualities. Primary qualities is an object which intrinsic features, such as bulk, figure, texture, and motion. In one of Locke’s example, he asks “ take a grain of wheat, divide into two parts ; each part has still solidity, extension, figure, and mobility: divide it again, and it retains still the same qualities; and so divide it on, till the parts become insensible ; they must retain still each of them all those qualities. For division ( which is all that a mill, or pestle, or any other body, does upon another, in reducing it to sensible parts) can never take away either solidity, extension, figure, or mobility from anybody, but only makes two or more distinct separate masses of matter. “ His example proves that even though we divide the grain into two parts, one would find that the wheat is still possess the same qualities, such as bulk, figure, motion, and extension no matter how many times we separate it it. While for secondary qualities, is the power of an object that cause us to have sense of color, smell, taste, sound, and texture. Although these secondary qualities does not exist within an object, Locke suggest that primary qualities are objective, while secondary qualities are contingent on perception. In one of his example, he explained the point of hot and cold water. He states “ we may be able to give an account how the same water, at the same time, may produce the idea of cold by one hand and of heat by the other: whereas it is impossible that the same water, if those ideas were really in it, should at the same time be both hot and cold.” Locke’s example is trying to state how can one hand perceive warm water as warm, and the other hand as cold water?
