According to Kantian moral theory, is it permissible to lie to someone as long as the lie benefits the person lied to? For instance, would a doctor be permitted to lie to her patient if she was certain the lie would benefit the patient in some way?

a) Yes. The consequence of the action is the most important element, so if the patient benefited from a lie, then the ultimate outcome was good and it was right to lie.

b) No. Kant believed that lying violated a person's autonomy and was therefore always wrong.

c) Kant argued that while lying was manipulative, it was not inherently right or wrong.

d) Kant believed that lying was situational and could be either right or wrong, depending on the outcome.

When Parvati Patil took over as the new department manager, she discovered that the existing staff was unusually inefficient and unproductive. Parvati learned that the previous manager often criticized and chided staff members for every little mistake until many of the best employees had left and the rest felt demoralized.

Parvati resolved not to criticize or punish staff members unless it was absolutely necessary. Instead, she frequently complimented them whenever they did a good job. She set daily production goals for them, and every Friday afternoon she bought lunch for all staff members who met their goals each day that week. Moreover, Parvati randomly conducted spot checks on what staff members were doing; if she found them hard at work, she gave them small rewards such as extra break time.

Within just three months, productivity in Parvati’s department nearly doubled. It became the most efficient department in the company.

Although historically treating boys and girls differently may have been helpful in directing them towards their traditional roles, considering many women are now becoming single mothers and both men and women are desiring a larger choice in jobs, not necessarily the gender stereotypical jobs, can you please discuss how this childhood socialization may not be helpful in the new direction we are trying to head in. What can be done to encourage more equality in the genders and do we want it? Please explain.
