Question

The story of Oskar Schindler provides an interesting personal example of moral development. In Schindler’s case, his change in motivation from one of profit to one of saving lives represents a change that Kohlberg would say moves from ____ thinking to ____ thinking.

Answer 1

Answer:

preconventional; postconventional                      

Explanation:

In psychology, Lawrence Kohlberg has proposed the theory of moral development in which he has mentioned three distinct stages of moral development.

Preconventional thinking: This is the very first stage in the theory of moral development, and it is concerned with a process through which a person approaches in a child-like manner involving right and wrong technique. It involves two different phases of morality such as punishment and obedience in the first phase and self-interest in the second phase.

Postconventional thinking: This is considered as the third stage in the theory of moral development, and is concerned with the fact that individuals at this stage believe that a few laws are referred as unjust and needs to be changed or altered or eliminated. Since every individual is different, then there are possibilities of that one person's view may change from that of another person's view
