This is an example of kohlberg's individualism, instrumental purpose, and exchange stage of moral development.
These kids are in the <u>preconventional level</u>, where their sense of morality is externally controlled. They accept and believe the rules of authority figures, such as parents and teachers. A child with pre-conventional morality has not yet adopted or internalized society’s conventions regarding what is right or wrong, but instead focuses largely on external consequences that certain actions may bring. In this particular example they are in the <u>Stage 2: Instrumental Orientation</u>. The reasoning shows a limited interest in the needs of others, only to the point where it might further the individual’s own interests. As a result, concern for others is not based on loyalty or intrinsic respect, but rather a “you scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours” mentality.

Answer:
King Hammurabi was eighteen years when he became King of Babylon after his father's death and ruled between 1792 till 1750 BC.
The young king was not daunted by the task of being king of such a big kingdom and he immediately began to make peace treaties with strong and powerful neighboring countries and working on making the kingdom prosperous. He did this by undertaking several projects like strengthening the city walls, and new and better irrigation systems.
After he had defeated his enemies and neighboring countries, he established the first Babylonian Empire and went further to improve the city by building more temples, constructing canals and acqueduts.
