How would you feel, as a law-abiding citizen, if your neighbor could get away with lawlessness? <br /><br />I don't think freedom can be forced. Because if we force freedom, then it's not freedom, but then again it is freedom because we can do whatever we want. Freedom is something we do from our freewill. If I was forced to marry someone then I would not count that as freedom. But if it was forced, then I guess it could go both way. If I was a law abiding citizen and my neighbor could get away with lawlessness, then I would feel annoyed because I am following the rules while someone who isn't is not getting any freedom.

Have you ...Extra Credit Exam 2 Evan Luster Sec.12<br /><br /> Have you ever gone out of your way to help a stranger? Did you do so because you thought it was the right thing to do, because you felt sympathetic for the stranger's plight, or for some other reason? Do you agree with Kant that dutifulness alone is morally relevant to such acts?<br /><br />Growing up as a child, I have always been a caring person. I did not think when it came to some situations because i just knew that it was the right thing to do. Being a Christian, doing things for personal gain was not my intentions. There was a situation a few years back when I was still in high school where I helped a complete stranger, and possibly saved his life. Me and my friends were out one night when we came up on an older man who seemed to be homeless. Usually when i see the homeless, I offer some money, not caring what he or she does with it. However this individual was hurt badly; i'm guessing at the time that he had been hit by oncoming traffic. After asking the man if he needed some medical help, we got him into my car and rushed him to the nearest hospital. Getting him immediate assistance was a blessing, and we later found out that he had some broken ribs and a bruised spine. There was no reason behind what we did that night other than it was the right thing to do. And yes, I do agree with Kant's theory of dutifulness.
