Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Level 1 (Preconventional) Obedience and Punishment Orientation – at this stage of moral reasoning, the individual acts from a belief that if they do something wrong they will be punished, so that the best reason for avoiding doing wrong is to avoid punishment.

These are abstract and ill-defined, but might include: the preservation of life at all costs, and the importance of human dignity.

At this stage of moral development, people begin to consider society as a whole when making judgments.
