B. MAIN LESSON

Value Development
✓ As humans we are born with a series of undifferentiated potentials. As an example, we have the capacity to learn a
language, but the language is not prescribed by our genetic heritage. In the same sense, humans have an innate
ability to acquire ethical beliefs. But the value system we develop is dependent on the cultural framework in which
we live in.

World view or value system

✓ An inner subjective set of feelings, attitudes, beliefs, and opinions

Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs

1. Survival or Physiological (foods, shelter, water)
2. Safety (security like purchasing a weapon)
3. Belonging and Love (love, affection, intimacy, family, joining a club)
4. Prestige and Esteem (becoming president of the club)
5. Self-actualization (fulfillment of personal potential)

According to Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs, feelings of isolation result in needs satisfying activities like joining a bowling
team. Under most situations, our actions are explainable using this model as we seem to satisfy a given set of needs. As
each need level is satisfied the needs of the next level become the dominant motivators of our actions. If hierarchy of
needs is correct, an observer who could determine what level of need you were operating on could predict the nature of
your next actions.

Hume’s Law
✓ Unbridgeable gap between fact and value; between “is” and “ought”
o Facts of physical universe can tell us what is
o Our values guide us to understanding what ought to be as it relates to our behavior
✓ Individuals’ experiences will shape the way these values will be considered in personal decision making.
✓ Difference between needs and values: Our needs tell us what “is” in a particular situation, for example we are broke
and find a wallet. Our needs may tell us to take the money in the wallet, whereas our values provide guidance
regarding what “ought” to be done as it relates to human behavior.

Value Development Models

Lawrence Kohlberg created a value development model with three stages and associated value orientation.
Development was intimately tied to the individual’s cognitive and psychomotor development. For Kohlberg, the highest
personal value for humans was equality, where the individual issues based on an internal set of personal principles or
rules.

Kohlberg’s Stage of Moral Reasoning

Preconventional (Age 3-7)

✓ Punishment/Obedience
✓ Egotism (satisfy one’s desires)-self-importance, self-centered, thinking that you are superior to others

Conventional (Age 7-12)

✓ Please others
✓ Respect rules

Postconventional (12 and above)

✓ Social contract- they believe that some laws are unjust and need to be change
✓ Personal conscience

Kohlberg concluded in his original research model that females were often found not to progress to the final
autonomous stage of value development (Post conventional level) but seemed arrested in the conventional level.
Females seem to reach plateau in value orientation based on pleasing others rather than being true to their own moral
compass.

Carol Gilligan argued that Kohlberg’s research methods flawed, and gender biased that’s why she made a separate
value development pathway for females results in different highest values for each sex. Personality responsibility for
female and legalistic equality for males.

And this was confirmed by profile developed by Isabel Myers and Katherine Briggs. According to Myers Briggs
instrument men and women score equally on the major dimensions. Except on decision making where men are
predominantly on “thinking” category more comfortable following rules, laws and “feeling” category for women decisions
are based on personal relationship and outcomes.
