Kant's famous First Formulation of the Categorical Imperative reads, "Act only according to that maxim whereby you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law." Kant taught morality as a matter of following maxims of living that reflect absolute laws. "Universal" is a term that allows for no exceptions, and what is universal applies always and everywhere. Don't forget about the second formulation of the categorical imperative which states, "Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end and never simply as a means." It is just as important.

For the initial post, elaborate in detail the ethical positions arrived at by applying the Kantian categorical imperative to an issue that is the subject of some debate in our society. (Examples might include animal rights, stem cell research, abortion, the death penalty, and so forth.) Then, evaluate these Kantian positions, discussing whether they are convincing, logical, correct or consistent.
