My life begins on the 4th of
October, 2001. My parents
informed me that when I was a
year old, they already taught
me the fundamentals of
learning and how to behave
appropriately. I effectively
understood the wrongness and
rightness of the situation before
I was ten years old. I also
learned how to be obedient
with my parents, relatives,
neighbors, and at school. I
clearly remember cheating with
my neighbor when we played

I am now in stages 3-4 of moral development and it is continuously improving and

changing.

2. Summarize the Three (3) levels of Moral Development including the six (6) stages
of

Lawrence Kohlberg’s Moral Development.

The very first level in three (3) levels of Moral Development is Pre-Conventional
Morality, individual's primary interest is the self. Conventional Morality, Level 2
People begin to internalize the moral norms of the groups to which they belong during
adolescence and middle age. Adults can attain Post-Conventional Morality Level 3,
although not all adults can. Person judgment is centered on individual principles and
moral reasoning based on personal rights and justice.

The first stage of Kohlberg's moral development can define right and wrong as action
reflects the goodness and badness of conduct. On the second stage, it teaches about
being one-of-a-kind and attaining one's goals, while moral rightness is connected with
the concept of giving and receiving. Third stage in which right and wrong are
determined by others' approval and conformity to norms, good behavior is determined
by praise. On stage four, a person becomes more conscious of norms and societal
standards as they get older and desires to be a decent and good citizen of one nation.
The fifth stage although norms and standards exist, they are not always ethically
acceptable. While the last stage of moral development is the Universal Principle, you
develop your own ethical values and are prepared to defend them even if it means
going against the majority of human beings. Only a few individuals have and can
achieve this level of moral development. These six stated stages are all connected and
are rooted to the three levels of moral development.
