Document Summary
Continuation of lecture 10: gender roles and morals . Piaget thought there was two states: hegenomous (5-10 y. o) and autonomous morality (10+ years) Found that for very young children, they tend to have an absolute view and it"s tied to obedience and punishment something is considered wrong if you get punished for it. Rules can come from religion or adult. Young children also don"t take into intentions i. e. someone who broke. 5 glasses accidentally would be seen as more bad to the child than someone who broke one glass intentionally indication of the role of rules and punishment. At 10+ years, children get a sense of moral relativism get the idea that the rules are created by humans and that these rules are wrong. Can justify breaking a rule if the reason is good enough . Reciprocity notion persecuting one person, helps another person morality of cooperation.
