You can not trust a person that you know is a liar, especially when they are willing to put other people at risk. Asking a person to lye means that you are not their friend. You cannot be friends with a liar because liars are not trust worthy. If you cannot trust a person you cannot be their friend. Friends are hard to come by already. You should not have to lye to have friends. Friends will like you for who you are, or they are not your friends. Most of the time people can tell when someone is lying to them. They will not look you in the face for starters. Some people stutter when they are lying. If you lye on a court stand under oath you will go to jail for perjury. The writer does not feel that lying for someone is worth going to jail. Some people believe that it is harmless if you do not get caught telling lye. If you have done something wrong you should not try to lye to get out of trouble. If you face up to what you have done things might not be as bad as telling a lye. You can have a clear conscious and let the situation go. If you lye you will drag things on for a while. The writer feels that if a person has to lye then they cannot be a duty-based person. You cannot be a strong leader if you are always telling lies about things.

The duty-based scenario about telling lies was a good source due to the scenario made the writer think about
Kant believed duties were absolute and unconditional and called them categorical imperatives. A categorical imperative is all people have a “perfect” duty in that if their actions were universalized, there would be no contraindications. An example is you came to a fork in the road and you had to make a decision to either go left or right. Whatever decision you made at that moment in time, you would have to make it a law by universalizing it. A nursing example would be a 19 year old girl was in the critical care unit in the hospital and is terrified. Hospital policy states they only allow visit every three hours for five minutes in the critical care unit. The girl is begging the nurse to allow her parents to stay with her. The nurse follows deontology, and will not allow the parents to stay because it is against the rules.

Through her writing, Ericsson causes the reader to look into how they’ve lied in the past and how to effects others and the general greater good of society.

Duty for Kant is the underlying role of morality. Our duty and intentions combine to form our will, and the only one thing in the world that is good is a good will. To act according to duty means we are acting according to principals, not according to the final outcome of our actions. Principals is another important factor in this theory, our actions must be congruent with principals that can be made universal. To be universal, the maxim must apply to absolutely everyone, everywhere, and anytime. Another stipulation in Kant’s theory is that we should never treat a person solely as a means to our own ends. It is morally wrong to use someone solely to enhance our own self-interest.
