For Kant, what is the role of reason in living morally?

 Reason directs human wills to operate within the standard of moral law. According
to Kant, only rational beings can be said to act morally. Therefore, if reason dictates that
one person, in a particular situation, has a moral duty to do a particular thing, then any
person, in that same situation, would equally well have a duty to do that same thing.

Explain: “What is legal is not always moral.”

 Our laws do not always reflect a national morality, and what is “legal” and “illegal” does
not always translate to what is “right” or “wrong.” For example, young ones committed a
crime but he will not be subjected to be criminal because there’s a law that a person who
is below 18 years old is exempted to any crime. In Korea, adultery is legal. It is not right
since it is included in the Ten Commandments of God. Morality is a contextual and
cultural construct that our laws and legal codes neglect. Sometimes what is moral,
correct, right and true is not legal. And sometimes what is legal is not always moral.

Differentiate rights from virtue theories.

 Rights are what someone is entitled too for example: You have the right to have free
speech in what you believe. Virtues are traits or attitude that people strive towards in
order to become better developed human.
