3. Does Kant’s statement, “Ought implies I can” make you understand why morality or
ethics cannot apply to the lower forms of animals?
- The Statement of Immanuel Kant “Ought implies I can” made me understand
why morality and ethics cannot apply to the lower form of animals because, our freewill
as a human being decide which is ethically right and wrong unlike to the lower forms of

4. “Two roads diverged in the woods; I took the one less traveled by and that made all
difference”- Robert Frost.
Does the quote implies choice and ethics and morality? How?
-“Two roads diverged in the woods; I took the one less traveled by and that
made all the difference”, For me, the quote implies choice as well or being morality and
ethical because we think which path we should go through when we are deciding. We
all know that we have a different choices in every decision in life. The way it leads to
the consequences, “Is it better or worse? Can I be a more fortunate or less fortunate”
until the options is no longer a choices whether we like it or not there is no turning
back.
