The various theoretical applications focus on the division of ethics and morals of society as it relates to human behavior. One of those theorists was Immanuel Kant, who was considered one of the leading philosophers of his time. He believed that morality relied on absolute rules and that it was our duty as a society to do the right thing. Kants philosophy means that morality should not be based on feelings or emotions but rather on the concepts of duty, obligation, and rationality.
