10. R IGHT FROM W RONG Starts around the age of 13 (according to Kohlberg, 1984). At this age, children have the cognitive abilities to know right from wrong Kohlberg described three levels with two stages each.

Desire to please others3. Do good because you want respect and because it is expected of you 4. Follow rules because society has standards 3. Belief in morality because it is the right thing to do 5. You should follow the rules of society for everyone’s benefit 6. Do right because your conscience dictates it is right. Lawrence Kohlberg, 1958

14. K OHLBERG ’ S M ORALITY AT WORK Aliah wanted to skip school to go watch a movie. She decided to stay in class for fear of being caught. Aaron’s friends think shoplifting is fun so long as they steal small objects. Aaron thinks stealing of any kind is wrong and doesn’t join them. Jerome is a doctor in a war torn country. He allies himself with the rebels, but treats the enemy soldiers when he should be asleep. If he is caught he will be arrested. Discuss which of the stages you think these examples fall under.

15. S CIENCE AND M ORALITY In groups of four (4), select one of organ transplants, animal organ to human transplants, genetic engineering or cloning and discuss the pros and cons of each. You will present your findings to the class, so write down notes! Ask each other if the Scientist’s have stage five (5) and six (6) in mind while doing this work. Can Science be done that is illegal/ seen as immoral, but still be in the best interest of all?
