According to Lawrence Kohlberg around which ethics do very young children's moral reasoning revolve ?
Answer: C
Very young children's moral reasoning revolves around the ethics of egocentrism, as the paper spells it, 'egocentricism'.
At Kohlberg's pre-conventional level, young children judge right and wrong by the consequences to themselves: an act is wrong if it is punished and right if it brings a reward or serves their own interest. Their reasoning is centred on the self.
Taking the perspectives of others and following laws belong to the later conventional level, where children care about approval and social order. The ethics of care is Carol Gilligan's account of moral reasoning, offered as a critique of Kohlberg, not a stage of his theory.
