Reply to; ‘DeAnna Kantian perspective states that human beings must follow a categorical imperative which is an absolute moral standard that does not vary based on individual circumstances. Kant believed that a behavior is only ethical when it would remain beneficial if performed universally by everyone. In the Harvard hacking case per Kantian perspective the hacking behavior is unethical because all of the applicants that applied did not access the site to check there status. If all the applicants to the MBA schools had performed the hack then it would be considered ethical per Kantian perspective. The students actions were unacceptable according to the standard of universal acceptability. The hackers decisions can not be defended by a lapse in judgment which makes their actions not considered universally accepted.
