Jade resides in the principle stage of cognitive moral development. This stage enables the conscience of the person kicks in and it involves the attitude of respect and trust. It is seen in the scenario above where Jade refuses to take on the permanent job because she does not want to ignore the report that she has found about the ill effects of the product that could bring harm to the people who will buy the products if it has been launched. She lets her conscience kick in and shows respect and trust to those people who could be affected because of this product.
