He proposed the theory of morality that is based on MUTUAL TRUST
- A.
Freud
- B.
Erikson
- C.
Kohlberg
- D.
Peters
Correct Answer
C. KohlbergExplanation
Kohlberg states that relationships are based on mutual trust. He postulated the levels of morality development. At the first stage, called the PREMORAL or pre-conventional stage, a child does things and labels them as BAD or GOOD depending on the PUNISHMENT or REWARD they get. They have no concept of justice, fairness, and equity. For them, If I punch this kid and mom gets mad, that's WRONG. But if I dance and sing, mama smiles and gives me a new toy, then I am doing something good. At the Conventional level, The individual acts based on the response of the people around him. He will follow the rules, regulations, laws, and morality the society upholds. If the law states that I should not resuscitate this man with a DNR order, then I would not. However, at the post-conventional level or the AUTONOMOUS level, the individual still follows the rules but can make a rule or bend part of these rules according to his own MORALITY. He can change the rules if he thinks that it needs to be changed. An example is that A nurse still continues resuscitating the client even if the client has a DNR order because he believes that the client can still recover and his mission is to save lives, not watch patients die.Rate this question:
