Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Mary is stumped on her homework assignment. She wants to do well, but she cannot figure out the homework. Moreover, she knows that this homework will be graded. She is toying with the idea of copying some answers, but she thinks, “While I do not particularly think we should not be allowed to share homework, especially if it is not for points, I should express these opinions to my teacher in hopes for change, rather than going against the rules.” Mary believes that rules are important but that they can and should be questioned in ways that maintain democratic methods.

Stage 2:Individualism & Exchange

Stage 4:Maintaining the Social Order
E
Stage 5 OR Stage 6:Postconventional Level
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to Kohlberg’s theory, individuals who reach the highest level of post-conventional moral reasoning judge moral issues based on deeper principles and shared ideals rather than self-interest or adherence to laws and rules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Kohlberg suggested that people move through these stages in a fixed order, and that moral understanding is linked to cognitive development. The three levels of moral reasoning include preconventional, conventional, and postconventional.
