Assignment Task: The following assignment contains five sample proposals. Try to apply Kant's categorical imperative to each of these examples. Be sure to surely state your conclusion in the Kantian language (e.g., "thus, we have a perfect duty to abstain from such and such").
1) "I will cheat on my exams to pass and earn A's so that my transcript is attractive to potential employers and/or graduate programs."
2) "I will help myself to more than one sample when the sign clearly states, ONE SAMPLE PER CUSTOMER so that I can be less hungry while shopping."
3) "I will adhere to traffic laws to stay safe while driving."
4) "If I can get away with it, I'll cheat on my significant other to entertain myself."
5) "I will try my best to keep the commitments I make to preserve my reputation."
