Question

In response to the "Heinz dilemma," Marlee says, "No one will think you’re bad if you steal the drug, but your family will think you’re an inhumane husband if you don’t. If you let your wife die, you’ll never be able to look anyone in the face again." Marlee is at which of Kohlberg’s stages of moral development?

Answer 1

Answer:

Marlee is at stage 2 of the instrumental purpose orientation of Kohlberg’s stages of moral development?

Explanation:

Stage 2 expresses the “what's in it for me?” position, in which right behavior is defined by whatever the individual believes to be in their best interest. Stage two reasoning shows a limited interest in the needs of others, only to the point where it might further the individual's own interests.
