Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Ashley borrowed her father’s car. She and her friend Kayla were very late coming home that evening. They were further delayed at a stop light on a quiet street. After what seemed to be an unnecessary long wait, Kayla reminded Ashley that they were late. Ashley continued to wait, insisting that if everyone ignored stop lights when it was personally convenient to do so, no street would be safe.
A
Stage 1
B
Stage 3
C
Stage 5
D
Stage 4
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Kohlberg suggested that there may be a seventh stage-Transcendental Morality, or Morality of Cosmic Orientation-which linked religion with moral reasoning. Kohlberg’s difficulties in obtaining empirical evidence for even a sixth stage, however, led him to emphasize the speculative nature of his seventh stage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stage 1. The child/individual is good in order to avoid being punished. If a person is punished, they must have done wrong.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stage 4: People make decisions based on laws or formalized rules. The man should obey the law because stealing is a crime. Stage 5: Individuals employ abstract reasoning to justify behaviors The man should steal the drug because laws can be unjust and you have to consider the whole situation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Like Piaget, subjects were unlikely to regress in their moral development, but instead, moved forward through the stages: pre-conventional, conventional, and finally post-conventional. Each stage offers a new perspective, but not everyone functions at the highest level all the time.
