Question

A young adult tells the nurse, "Society needs to be educated regarding involving people affected with AIDS into the social sphere." According to Lawrence Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Development, what does the statement indicate?

Answer 1

Answer:

The statement indicates the young adult has attained the Social-Contract Orientation stage

Explanation:

It indicates the young adult has attained the Social-Contract Orientation stage as propounded by Kohlberg in his theory of moral development. The young adult at this stage sees the society from a different perspective in his own right. The individual sees laws as social contracts that needs to be adjusted or changed when necessary to seek the general welfare of the people in the society. In this case, the individual seeks the orientation of the society to ensure people living with AIDS in the society are not marginalized.
