Question

Justin takes towels from his hotel rooms when on vacation and feels it is okay because no one is hurt by it, but he does not feel it is okay to go over the speed limit when driving because speeding could result in an accident. Kohlberg would place Justin's moral reasoning at the _____ stage because he thinks that it is morally okay to break the law in some circumstances.

Answer 1

Answer: Social Contract.

Explanation:

Social Contract and Individual Rights is Stage 5 of Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development, which includes three separate levels of moral thinking, and every level has two sub-stages.

In Stage 5, the individual grows to understand that even though rules are essential for the good of the entire society, sometimes they might be detrimental to certain people.
