Detailed explanation-1: -An example of self-interest driven is when a child is asked by his parents to do a chore. The child asks “what’s in it for me?” The parents would offer the child an incentive by giving a child an allowance to pay them for their chores. The child is motivated by self-interest to do chores.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Stage 1, moral reasoning is based on concepts of punishment. The child believes that if the consequence for an action is punishment, then the action was wrong. For example, they might say the man should not break into the pharmacy because the pharmacist might find him and beat him.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stage 2 (Individualism and Exchange): At the individualism and exchange stage of moral development, children account for individual points of view and judge actions based on how they serve individual needs.
Detailed explanation-4: -Stage 5: Social Contract and Individual Rights This stage acknowledges the introduction of abstract reasoning as people attempt to explain specific behaviors. In our example above, the man should steal the medication for his wife because she is deathly ill and the laws do not take the circumstances into account.
