Consider the following three models of society. Which of these models do you think a Kantian ethicist would identify as correct? Why would a Kantian reject each of the other two models? How does the correct model avoid these problems? Model 1: In an attempt to create a functional social order, the society's leaders teach the citizens a mythology in which people are all naturally born into different personality types. If you are a gold personality, you are born to be a leader. If you are a silver personality, you are born to serve in military and first-responder professions. If you are a bronze personality, you are born to be a laborer. The leaders know this is just a myth, but they feel it will allow all important social roles to be filled with minimal conflict. Model 2: In an attempt to manage their society in an optimal way, the society's leaders establish a powerful federal government. Relying on the best scientific knowledge available, the government officials determine professions for citizens, and set laws and policies that the available data suggest will lead to the highest overall standard of living for members of the society. Model 3: In an attempt to allow all citizens to have a voice, the society's leaders establish a system in which citizens elect government officials by voting. Before making any major policy decisions, the government officials are expected to inform citizens of the situation, and obtain the citizens' feedback on how they think the decisions should be handled. The leaders accept that sometimes, this will result in policies that might not be optimal in terms of their results.
