Question

Two young college students Juan and Carole, are discussing the topic of capital punishment. They have opposing views on the subject, but Carole understands the merits of Juan's position. What stage of reflective judgment is Carole displaying in this situation

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: Stage 6 of "Reflective Reasoning"

Explanation:

The Reflective Judgment Model is used in order to describe how people from adolescence going to adulthood develop "reasoning." This framework consists of 7 stages. These stages are categorized under three kinds of thinking (Pre-Reflective Reasoning, Quasi-Reflective Reasoning and Reflective Reasoning).

The situation above falls under "Stage 6 of Reflective Reasoning." Under this stage, "reflective thinking" is considered. So, people in this stage know that knowledge is not certain nor absolute, thus they try to compare their opinion with others. Just like Carole and Juan above, even though they have opposing views, Carole understands Juan's opinion.

Thus, this explains the answer.
