Kohlberg's sta
Stage 2: Conventional
Most of society is in stage 2. People in stage two are group minded and want to fit in with society. What society thinks is right and wrong is what is right and wrong. This is very common with teenagers.
Level 3: Good Boy/Good Girl
People in this stage are conformity driven. The believe the golden rule should be law.
Level 4: The Good Citizen
This is a law and order group. If it's against the law it's morally wrong.
Level 4.5: The Cynic
This is a transition level that has a little of 4 and 5. People in this level think that any laws or rules from society that contradict their own are morally wrong.
The Stages
Kohlberg's stages of moral development have 3 stages: Pre-conventional, Conventional, and Post-Conventional and six levels, two to each stage.
Stage 3: Post-Conventional
People in this stage realize that they are separate from society. Stage 3 people think that rules are a general guidline, not set in stone. Morality should be by the situation instead of always the same. They disobey laws that go against their moral code.
Level 5: The Philosopher
Atilla the Hun
To people in level five the world is full of different laws rights and opinions. The see laws as wrong if they go against their morals. They want "the greatest good for the greatest amount of people.
Level 6: The Messiah
In level 6 people think that laws are only valid if they are just. If they are not just they should not be obeyed. Before taking action they imagine what they would do in place of someone else. Then they take action.
Stage 1: Pre-Conventional
Pre-conventional people think egotistically. They have not internalized the pattern of the group. Most little kids are in stage 1.
Atilla the Hun
Atilla the Hun is a good example of Level 1: Might Makes Right. He conqured most of central Europe and was one of the most feared people of his time. He was the only ruler of his empire so he could do whatever he wanted. Sadly there are no quotes from him.
Level 1: Might Makes Right
Level 2: The Egoist
People in this stage think that if they can do it then it is right.
Mahatma Gandhi
Ghandi was in level 6. He disobeyed the laws that he thought weren't just. He also acted because it was right, not because it avoided punishment.
People in this level think: "How can I use that to my advantage?" They are very concentrated on the self.
Quotes
"A 'no' uttered from deepest conviction is better than a 'yes' merely uttered to please, or worse, to avoid trouble."
"There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supersedes all other courts."
