Discussion
As per Lawrence Kohlberg, at which level of moral development do children not have a personal code of morality, and instead moral decisions are shaped by the standards of adults and the consequences of following or breaking their rules?
(For example, a child takes money from a parent’s wallet and does not get caught, so he does not see that action as wrong.)
Answer: C
At the pre-conventional level of Kohlberg's theory, children do not have a personal code of morality and judge actions by the standards of adults and the consequences, for example punishment. Conventional morality follows social rules, post-conventional morality follows principles, and immaturity is not one of Kohlberg's levels. At the pre-conventional level, in stages 1 and 2 of Kohlberg's scheme, right and wrong are judged by punishment and reward; in the example, because the child is not caught, he sees no wrong.
