1. State your proposed act as a maxim:
"van Dijk will take ZAR 1.9 billion (A) when he's done a year's work (C) in order to get
really, really rich (E)."
2. Restate this maxim as a universal law:
"All people (7.6 billion of them) will take ZAR 1.9 billion when they've done a year's work in
order to get really, really rich."
3. Ask whether your maxim is conceivable in a world ruled by the universal law; and finally
No the maxim is not considered by the universal because the poor remain poor, while the
richer become extremely rich if we have one person getting a salary ,incentive of 1.9 billion
and vested share option and he is existing in country where a poverty line of food shortage
and necessities then consideration of maxim is none.
4. Ask whether you would rationally act on your maxim in such a world.
No, I would not be so rational ,yet also people like Bob Dijk work extremely hard for what
the have

africa, It is confirmed that South African 10% population owns more than 85% of household,
while half of the population have more liability than assets.
Step:2
On the basis of your analysis above, answer the following questions:
1. What would Kant probably have said about van Dijk earning ZAR 1.9 billion? (You might
want to do a bit of research into the nature of van Dijk's 2018/2019 earnings).
kank was very ethical person that understood the right way to do things ,he would not agree
with it at all.
2. Why do you think this?
He will also think employees also work hard for the companies over years and business make
more than their paying them therefore Bob Dijk deserve the billons
3. What do you think about van Dijk earning ZAR 1.9 billion?
I still he got a lot of money for a salary.
4. Why do you think this?
I think is having billionaire in a country such as South Africa majority of the population are
on poverty, unemployed but Dijk worked hard for the money but my wish is the government
need to consider the economic imbalance among rich and the poor society.
