    Here are the key stages of moral development according to Kohlberg's theory: 1. Pre-conventional morality - focused on avoiding punishment and obeying rules for personal gain. 2. Conventional morality - conforming to social norms and seeking approval from others. 3. Post-conventional morality - developing one's own principles based on justice, human rights, and social contracts. Individuals may disobey unjust laws at this stage. The theory proposes that people progress through these stages in a fixed sequence as their capacity for moral reasoning develops with age and experience. Later stages prioritize broader ethical and social perspectives over self-interest. Kohlberg's work helped establish the importance of cognitive-developmental

    - If I am in the position of Heinz, I will do the same for the sake of my loving wife.
    Although it is not good to do that things but when I actually know how greedy the
    drug-seller is, I will definitely do that. Before that scenarios happen, I will try to
    ask first the authorities regarding of the mark up prices of the drug-seller and if
    there is possible to make down the price of the drug, I will be more than happy to
    buy more of it but if nothings happen, sorry not sorry I will steal the drug.

    needs and desires, and they begin to
    make decisions based on their own
    self-interests.

    At this stage, individuals value the


    opinions of others and seek their
    approval. They strive to be good and
    kind to others.

    At this stage, individuals develop an


    understanding of the importance of
    following laws and social
    conventions to maintain a functional
    society.

    At this stage, individuals believe that


    laws and rules are social contracts
    that can be changed if they are not
    beneficial to society. They value
    individual rights and freedoms.

    a moral code based on universal
    principles of justice and human

    they see as unjust or inconsistent
    with these principles.
