The correct answer is "Should all people late for important meetings ignore crosswalk signals?"

The concept of categorical imperative was developed by the German philosopher <u>Immanuel Kant</u>, as the central concept of his deontology, an aspect of moral philosophy that deals with duties. Kant's goal was to define a way to assess the motivations for human action at all times in life. An imperative would be any proposition that declares a particular action as necessary, based on this notion Kant divides the imperatives into two categories: categorical and hypothetical.

Those maxims that would be acceptable as a universal law, and can be considered adequate motivation for human action, would be categorical imperatives, implying an absolute and unconditional demand. This cannot be disobeyed, no matter the circumstances, being an end in itself, that is, no other purpose can justify disobedience and the categorical imperative needs no other justification. Unlike hypothetical imperatives, which have application when we want to achieve a certain end, for example, if we want to acquire knowledge, it is imperative that we learn. The hypothetical imperative is linked to the end, or the purpose, desired by the one who acts, thus facilitating the decision of what the correct action to take, is hypothetical because, once the agent has no interest in accomplishing that end, or not the necessary action is taken to carry it out, there is no obligation to follow it. In this sense, it is optional and conditioned to our inclinations.

What is one way the Ottoman Empire made money?
Lyrx [107]
<span>The first large silver coins were minted in 1690 after the Polish coin isolette or zolota which was imported in large quantities by Dutch merchants during the seventeenth century. These coins were about one third smaller than the Dutch thalers.[1]</span> Their weight was fixed in standard dirhams (3,20 grams) and they contained 60 percent silver and 40 percent copper. The largest of these weighed 6 dirhams, or approximately 19.2 grams. Later, in 1703, an even larger coin weighing approximately 8 dirhams, or 25-26 grams and its fractions were also minted. <span>It appears that the first large coin of 1690 was intended as a zolota or cedid (new) zolota to distinguish it from the popular Polish coin and not as a gurush or piaster.[2]</span> Only after larger silver coins began to be minted in the early decades of the eighteenth century, was the new monetary scale clearly established. The new Ottoman gurush was then fixed at 120 akches or 40 paras. The early gurushes weighed six and a quarter dirhams (20.0 grams) and contained close to 60 percent silver. The zolotas were valued at three fourths of the gurush or at 90 akches. <span>The fractions of both the gurush and zolota were then minted accordingly.[3]</span> Due to wars and continuing political turmoil, however, many coins were minted with sub-standard silver content until the monetary reform of 1715-16. The appearance of sub-standard coinage attracted large numbers of counterfeiters until the 1720s.
