Today in class we talked about Kant's ideas on morality, and how the reasons behind your actions (sense of duty vs. feeling sorry for someone) determine if that action is moral or not. We discussed one real life examples, such helping someone with car trouble or helping someone knocked out on the side of the road. We also discussed why human beings often refuse to take the first step and be the first person to help someone, especially when there are other people around.

Do you agree with Kant? I don't know if I do. I don't think you have to feel like helping someone is your duty before it is moral. I think you can feel sorry for someone and it be moral.
