Document Summary
More influenced by peers than parental figures and societal processes. Moral reasoning and moral thinking develops throughout 3 levels. Level 1: pre conventional: based on whether behavior is rewarded or punished, based on whether consequences result in benefits, ex. Get caught=wrong: shape moral development by laying out what is right and wrong. Obviously parental values, approval and modeling are important: model the importance of approving the law, people of authority will disapprove/punish law breakers. Television/media: may/may not promote ethical forms of conduct. Cultural values and societal standards: always in groups and out groups. Meaningful contacts with disadvantaged others: contacts create moral dilemmas. Rethink what you think about rights and justice. Break down barriers by creating contact for youth/peer oriented years: dilemmas provide an opportunity for moral development to move to more advanced levels (level 3) How you"re supposed to act in sexual situations. Who you have sex with: sexual orientation. Hetero or homosexual: personal qualities that stimulate excitement.
