Levels I Three levels each with two stages Preconventional 1 2 Punishment Obedience Orientation It s OK as long as he doesn t get caught Na ve Hedonism The druggist is in business to make money you can t blame him for not giving Heinz the drug Heinz has to follow the American way 12 4 Psychology 1230 Hartmann Moral Development II Kolhberg Kohlberg s Levels II Conventional 3 Person Orientation You can t blame him for doing something out of love for his wife 4 Social Order Maintaining You can t go around breaking the law even if it means that your wife would die 13 Kohlberg s Levels III Postconventional morality of self accepted moral principles 5 Social Contract Orientation Even laws have limited applicability and in this case the value of life is even more important 6 Individual principles of conscience I have considered this very carefully and I believe strongly that a society that would favor property over life is not worth preserving Heinz is morally required to steal the drug in order to save his wife 14 And in pictoral form 15 5 Psychology 1230 Hartmann Moral Development II Kolhberg So How Does It Happen n n Cognitive Development Peer Interaction n Parental
