5 0

Lawrence Kohlberg (1927-1987) is an American psychologist mostly known for his theory of stages of moral development, which adapts the theory previously conceived by Piaget.

His theory states that the basis to develop an ethical behaviour is by overcoming six different steps which involve a dilemma. Each stage requires more advanced moral skills to adequately solve the dilemma. Three levels of morality are distinguished in the stages, which chronologically are the following: pre-conventional, conventional and post conventional.

In the conventional third stage is where the concept of consensus democracy plays its role. Consensus democracy is referred to the socially agreed standards which people try to resemble in their behaviour to gain acceptance and good opinions from his peers.

How might the Americas have been different if the Spanish had not colonized there?

laila [671]

There are a couple of differences:

1) The Americas (especially Latin America), will not have Roman Catholic influences in the area, and will not have it as their state religion.

2) The land will keep most of it's natural wealth, though it may not be used in great quantities as before.

3) Population will not take a hit, and will continue to grow, as European diseases are not spread to them. However, if trading occurs between the north-eastern tribes all the way down to Central America, they will still be exposed to diseases carried by the French and British.

4) They may not be exposed to the usage of firearms as quickly, which may lead to their demise to their native enemies. Firearms, while they took very long to reload back then, was a symbol of power and was used more as a shock then as a weapon (until the mini-ball, repeater, and other upgrades to the rifle came).

5) The other way to look at it is that another European Power may take over those lands. The first of which is Portugal, whose lands were very near the Spanish territory. The next in line would be France, which borders the Spanish territories, and than Britain.

What caused the breakdown of the reservation system?

kramer

Answer:

Answer:The reasons that caused the breakdown of the reservation system were: many American Indians rejected the authority of the leaders who signed treaties that required them to move to reservations, white settlers wanted more of the land that was reserved for American Indians, and living in a defined area was an unfamiliar concept to many American Indians.President Jackson signed into law the Indian Removal Act on May 20, 1830. He wanted Indians to leave from their actual territories to be sent to reservations west the Mississippi. But the act was doomed from the beginning. Displaced Native American tribes did not receive the support the government promised to them and the problems began. Among the reasons that caused the breakdown of the reservation system were: many American Indians rejected the authority of the leaders who signed treaties that required them to move to reservations, white settlers wanted more of the land that was reserved for American Indians, and living in a defined area was an unfamiliar concept to many American Indians
