Detailed explanation-1: -Moral reasoning is not only an essential part of how humans develop but also a fundamental aspect of how human societies change over time. Moral reasoning helps people to recognize when change is needed. This occurs by people noticing inconsistencies in principles or unequal treatment of others.
Detailed explanation-2: -Competencies are based on cognitive capacity, demonstrated behavior, and awareness of morality rules. Social cognitive theory emphasizes the distinction between moral thought and moral action; that is, performing moral behavior when it is warranted.
Detailed explanation-3: -Kohlberg’s theory of moral development is a theory that focuses on how children develop morality and moral reasoning. Kohlberg’s theory suggests that moral development occurs in a series of six stages and that moral logic is primarily focused on seeking and maintaining justice.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the 1960s, psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg built upon Piaget’s work with his own theory on the stages of moral development. Much of his reasoning was based on the Heinz dilemma, which explores how people justify and rationalize their actions when placed in similar moral quandaries.
