Document Summary
Social clock sets the standards that individuals are in assessing their conformity to age- appropriate expectations: cognitive development, post-formal operational thought. Adults realize that knowledge is not absolute but relativistic, deem facts to be constructed realities. Adults come to accept the contractions contained in life and the existence of mutually incompatible systems of knowledge. In larger communities adults are confronted by different viewpoints, contrary people, and incompatible roles. They recognize that contradiction is inherent in life, adults must find some encompassing whole by which to organize their experiences: kohlberg. Preconventional level- punishment and reward- obedience to authority, good behavior in exchange for future favor. Conventional level- fulfill others expectations, follow rules in support of social order. Postconventional level- follows social contract if valid, personal moral system based on principles. Kohlberg stresses the notion that all people go through the stages in the same order. But not everyone is capable of thinking at.
