Question

An individual is participating in illegal public demonstrations against fur dealers because he truly believes it is wrong to kill animals for their fur. Which of Kohlberg’s stages of morality does this best represent?

Answer 1

Answer:

The stage represented is called the Post-Conventional

Explanation:

According to lawrence kohlberg's theory of moral development, the so-called post-conventional stage is one in which the individual determines in his subconscious what is right and wrong based on democratically pre-established social parameters. At this stage, laws are considered as social contracts rather than a strict commandment. The individual who is participating in illegal public demonstrations against fur traffickers believes it is wrong to kill animals to remove their fur, so we can conclude that it is at the Post-Conventional stage.
