    Abstract:
    There are many disagreements aboutwhatpeople have moral obligations to do, but almost everyone believes thatsomepeople havesomemoral obligations. Moreover, there are some moral obligations in which almost everyone believes. For example, if I promise to give a talk at this conference, I have a moral obligation to do so. Of course, my obligation might be overridden. Moreover, even if my obligation were overridden, I would still haveamoral obligation to give a talk at this conference.
