Topic > A look at the studies of Lawrence Kohlberg - 1116

Lawrence Kohlberg was the typical American boy. He was born in 1972 to a wealthy family. While growing up in Bronxville, New York, he attended school at Phillips Academy, but surprisingly as a student he was very mischievous. After school he joined the Zionist cause, helping to smuggle Jewish refugees through the British blockade. In 1948 he attended the University of Chicago and graduated in one year thanks to excellent scores on the entrance exam. He was going to school to study to be a clinical psychologist. During the process he came across the moral development work of Jean Piaget. This caught Kohlber's interest, and Kohlberg himself began to examine moral development. He began interviewing children and adolescents about moral situations (Walsh, 2000). Kohlber soon published a book titled Rony Cruz is a Healthy and Active Nine-Year-Old Girl. She is extremely outgoing and definitely has her own thoughts and ideas and isn't afraid to express them. He is part of the student government at his middle school. She likes to work within her capabilities and, if possible, beyond. When I read the dilemmas to her she listened very well. Being nine, she obviously got distracted, but came right back after I reminded her to focus. Rony took a couple of minutes for each question. She didn't just give an answer, she carefully contemplated each question to find the best answer she could have. What he did, his answers were very understandable and the reasoning he gave for his answers was very clear and well thought out. She was a little hesitant about some of her answers because she wanted to make sure she was giving the best answers. This is complete...half of the paper...I have a lot of evidence to determine where each subject would belong in terms of different Kohlberg phases. Studying also helps the student ask questions and observe the steps, a better learning experience and a way to actually get into the mindset of the theory. Both subjects were very cooperative and the answers were different but in some places they would have been similar. Rony who was in the third stage still had a sense of morality. And although she believed she had to fulfill her duties as a citizen by following the laws, she would follow them while respecting her morals. Ciara probably thought so too, the only difference was that unlike Rony Ciara had a strong idea of ​​what her answers were and what she would do. Rony carefully contemplated each question trying to gain the respect of all the people in the situation with his answers.
