ACTIVITY
1. If you were Nic, what would you do?

ANSWER: I will tell our parents that Ryan will go to a concert.

2. Why would you choose to do that? What were the things you considered in deciding what
to do?

ANSWER: I will do it because it is the right thing to do and to have no regrets at the end. In
deciding, I consider the safety of Ryan and also the feelings of our parents afterwards
ANALYSIS
In what level of moral development did your response to the dilemma fall? Reflect about
what this indicates about your moral reasoning in this moral dilemma.

Stage 5 – “Yes I will tell because Ryan might be hurt or get in trouble and his welfare is our
priority”.

Stage 6 – “Yes I will tell because lying is always wrong and I want to be true to what I believe
in.”

ANSWER: Because of so much negativity around us, we may begin to believe and accept that
we are less caring. When I am young, I am just concerned about the material things or the
reward that I would get from telling or not telling the truth but as I grow older, I realized that
the life of the person you love is the most important thing to consider and no material things
can replace it. We must learn to love and care for each other without limits.

APPLICATION
1. Identify the stage of moral development shown in the following:

Social Approval. 1. Joy allows her classmates to copy her homework so that they will think she
is kind and will like her to be their friend

Punishment/obedience. 2. Ricky does everything to get passing grades because his Mom will
take his play station away if he gets bad grades.

Social Contract. 3. A civic action group protests the use of pills for family planning, saying that
although the government allows this, it is actually murder because the pills are abortifacient
(causes abortion).
