Heinz’s Dilemma In Europe, a woman was near death from cancer.  One drug might save her, a form of radium that a druggist in the same town had recently discovered.  The druggist was charging $2000, ten times what the drug had cost him to make.  The sick woman's husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money, ut he could get together only about half of what it should cost.  He told the druggist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or to let him pay later.  But the druggist said no.  The husband got desperate and broke into the man's store to steal the drug for his wife.  Should the husband have done that?  Why?

Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development Assessed moral reasoning by posing hypothetical moral dilemmas and examining the reasoning behind people’s answers Not interested in whether the subject says "yes" or "no" but in the reasoning Proposed six stages, initially focusing on self and gradually focusing on social good.

Lawrence Kohlberg and his stages of Morality Preconventional Morality Conventional Morality Postconventional Morality

Pre-conventional Morality (Until age 6-8) Morality of self-interest Their actions are either to avoid punishment or to gain rewards.

Pre-conventional The child typically says that Heinz was wrong to steal the drug because "It's against the law," or "It's bad to steal," as if this were all there were to it. When asked to elaborate, the child usually responds in terms of the consequences involved, explaining that stealing is bad "because you'll get punished" (Kohlberg, 1958b).

Conventional Morality (elementary-???) Morality is based upon obeying laws to Maintain social order To gain social approval

Conventional Many subjects say they understand that Heinz's motives were good, but they cannot condone the theft. What would happen if we all started breaking the laws whenever we felt we had a good reason? The result would be chaos; society couldn't function.

Post-conventional Morality (???) Morality based on your own ethical principles.

Post Conventional It is the husband's duty to save his wife. The fact that her life is in danger transcends every other standard you might use to judge his action. Life is more important than property.

Talk is Cheap. How do we turn morality into action? Teach Empathy Self-discipline to delay gratification Modal moral behavior

Secondly, in his stage theory of moral development, the male view of individual rights and rules was considered a higher stage than women's point of view of development in terms of its caring effect on human relationships.
