Editing Obligation (section)

== Sociological view versus philosophical view ==
Sociologists believe that obligations lead people to act in ways that society deems acceptable. Every society has their own way of governing, they expect their citizens to behave in a particular manner. Not only do the citizens have to oblige to the societal norms, they want to, in order to assimilate to society.<ref name=":1">{{Cite journal|last=Ogien|first=Albert|date=1 December 2016|title=Obligation and Impersonality: Wittgenstein and the Nature of the Social|journal=Philosophy of the Social Sciences|language=en|volume=46|issue=6|pages=604–623|doi=10.1177/0048393116649970|s2cid=147711448 |issn=0048-3931}}</ref> Some philosophers on the other hand, argue that rational beings have moral duties, they make a choice to either fulfill these moral duties or disregard them. They have a [[moral responsibility]] to fulfill their obligations. [[Duty]] is seen as the response to an individual's obligations. Obligations require an action being done and duty is the carrying out of this action.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Korsgaard|first=Christine|date=July 1989|title=Kant's Analysis of Obligation: The Argument of Foundations|journal=The Monist|volume=72|pages=311–340|doi=10.5840/monist198972317}}</ref> Sociologists believe that an obligation is an objective force. Some philosophers however, believe obligations are moral imperatives.<ref name=":1" />
