Step 1
There are several philosophical divisions into which we might go. Practical and theoretical philosophy, political philosophy, epistemology, and much more may all be found in philosophy. However now, let us concentrate on the concept of serious reflection on morals, often known as ethics. What does it mean to act in a morally correct manner? Is it possible to have total assurance about morality? How may ethical difficulties be resolved?
We need many concepts to have the absolute necessities for a moral school of thought, according to the bare minimum definition of morality. As a result, several ethical frameworks have been developed and implemented throughout history. In the next article, I will talk about two of these frameworks that fascinate me: Kantian Ethics and Utilitarianism, as well as how they relate to Paramount Studios' Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa.
Step 2
Kantian Ethics, developed by the well-known philosopher Immanuel Kant, is the first ethical system that fascinates me. This normative school of thinking contends that morality is not a matter of determining what would result in the best outcomes. Instead, the overarching concept is to pursue good activities regardless of the consequences. We must always observe these absolute moral principles, which are determined by the Categorical Imperative (Adnan). 
The Categorical Imperative is a rational collection of statements intended to demonstrate why moral norms must be observed at all times. "Act solely according to that maxim by which you may at the same time wish that it should become a universal law," Kant states in the first rule (Camenzind). To put it another way, the moral code should be made for everyone to obey. To make a rule absolute, consider what the world would be like if everyone observed it at all times. If the world is free of issues, proceed to make the rule absolute.
Step 3
"Act such that you treat humanely, whether in your own person or in that of another, always as an aim and never as a means alone," Kant says in the second Categorical Imperative. Kant advises us to treat people with respect, fairness, and other virtues. This moral paradigm has both advantages and disadvantages. One advantage is that it is intended to be a realistic method of determining how to act. It also emphasizes activities rather than allowing us to do anything we want in order to reach the desired result. The disadvantage is that one person's perception of the world may differ significantly from that of another. Furthermore, with this school of thought, there are no exceptions (Murray). So, even if lying is the wisest course of action in a certain scenario, Kantian Ethics will not tolerate it.
Utilitarianism is the second ethical framework. This school of thinking is diametrically opposed to Kantian Ethics. Utilitarianism is a moral,
