Document Summary
Kohlberg: focus on individual motivations and consequences. Main attention directed to relationships and community, harmony with peers. Anger, violence, and acting out are response to trauma. Youth with higher scores are more likely to have explosive behavior in school. Replace zero tolerance policies with trauma-awareness, quiet zones, counselors who counsel rather than discipline, a health clinic, etc. Interaction: four interrelated levels of development are important. Microgenetic: changes over brief periods of time. Understanding species development (history) informs individual development. Sociohistorical: changes that occur in one"s culture, values, norms, and technologies. Abstract reasoning and schooled cognition: luria"s polar bear study. How we see group of people thinking about something in location. All bears are white, there is always snow. Peasants: haven"t seen before, no eyewitness account. But way those are met is influenced by cultural history and maintenance systems. Children through adults must learn culturally-derived set of projective/expressive mechanisms. Culture exerts influence on individuals but not the reverse.
