My answer is Yes. But Sometimes No, yes because I always use my mind before I choose
what I did. Like Helping Each Other I was decided to help them because I see there difficult in they
problems like a money, foods, medicine, etc. No because sometimes I did mistake in my decision.

Activity 2: MAKING A MORAL DECISION

Following is a hypothetical example illustrating how people think or behave in the face of dilemma.
Read the text and accomplish the task that follow.

Allan is dying of cancer and is in extreme pain. His brother, Dr. Frank, knows the agony that he is
going through and feels so much pity for him. Dr. Frank is aware that there is no hope for his brother to live
much longer and that any time at any day he will go. One day, Dr. Frank has witnessed Allan’s suffering, he
is tempted to remove his brother’s life support. Dr. Frank is torn between his role as a brother and as a doctor.
He loves Allan and wishes that his suffering would end. On the other hand, Dr. Frank faithfully adheres to
medical ethics.

A. Answer the following questions:

1. If you were Dr. Frank, what would you have done?
Answer:
It really depends on the year, the situation I am put in.
2. Cite your reason for your decision and identify the corresponding orientation according to Kohlberg’s
theory?
Answer:
Kohlberg identified three levels of moral reasoning: pre-conventional, conventional, and
post-conventional. Each level is associated with increasingly complex stages of moral development.

Level 1: Preconventional
Throughout the preconventional level, a child’s sense of morality is externally controlled. Children
accept and believe the rules of authority figures, such as parents and teachers. A child with pre-conventional
morality has not yet adopted or internalized society’s conventions regarding what is right or wrong, but instead
focuses largely on external consequences that certain actions may bring.
Stage 1: Obedience-and-Punishment Orientation
Stage 1 focuses on the child’s desire to obey rules and avoid being punished. For example, an action
is perceived as morally wrong because the perpetrator is punished; the worse the punishment for the act is,
the “worse” the act is perceived to be.
Stage 2: Instrumental Orientation
Stage 2 expresses the “what’s in it for me?” position, in which right behavior is defined by whatever
the individual believes to be in their best interest. Stage two reasoning shows a limited interest in the needs
of others, only to the point where it might further the individual’s own interests. As a result, concern for others

is not based on loyalty or intrinsic respect, but rather a “you scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours” mentality.
An example would be when a child is asked by his parents to do a chore. The child asks “what’s in it for me?”
and the parents offer the child an incentive by giving him an allowance.
Level 2: Conventional
Throughout the conventional level, a child’s sense of morality is tied to personal and societal
relationships. Children continue to accept the rules of authority figures, but this is now due to their belief that
this is necessary to ensure positive relationships and societal order. Adherence to rules and conventions is
somewhat rigid during these stages, and a rule’s appropriateness or fairness is seldom questioned.
Stage 3: Good Boy, Nice Girl Orientation
In stage 3, children want the approval of others and act in ways to avoid disapproval. Emphasis is
placed on good behavior and people being “nice” to

Activity 2: Achieving Your Ideal

1. What do you want to be? You may use the essay you wrote in Activity 1 as reference.

All I do know is that I want to be successful, intelligent, respected, trusted, and a good friend.
If these are my only qualities, I think that I will be satisfied. To be successful I need to be able to work
at things and stay dedicated to things I put my mind to. I also need to be able to stay on task and/or
be dedicated to what I'm trying to be successful at. Failure to these things will cause failure as a
whole, therefore failure is not an option. I also need to be smart with my money to be successful
financially. In short, I want to successful at all my financial and other ventures and nothing less than
success will suffice. To be intelligent I need to have the ability to do my school work at school and at
home. I need to have the discipline to study and to do homework and to pay attention in class, and
go the extra mile it takes to reach my goals. Being intelligent will help me to get a good job and good
friends. It will also help me make wise decisions across the board. Wise decisions are a big part of
being a good, intelligent person. To be respected I need to show respect back to other people. Most
people will not show respect to a person who does not show respect to them. I also need to be a fair
and moral person, because otherwise people would see me as a person who does not give people
the chance they deserve and one who will do anything to get what they want. Neither of these images

are good images, nor do I want people to think of them when they think of me.

me to do great things, and finally accepting and loving me for who I am from inside and out.

Answer the following question briefly based on your understanding of the preceding section.
1. What are the significant points that should be remembered regarding Maslow’s hierarchy of needs?
From the bottom of the hierarchy upwards, the needs are physiological (food and clothing),
safety (job security), love and belonging needs (friendship), esteem, and self-actualization. Needs
lower down in the hierarchy must be satisfied before individuals can attend to needs higher up.
2. At your age and at this time of your life, what is your best estimate as to your current level in Maslow’s
hierarchy of needs? Why do you think?
The most basic level of Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs covers physiological needs. These are
the things that we simply cannot live without: air, food, drink, warmth, sleep and shelter. At this end
of the hierarchy, all the needs are ‘deficiency needs’. We need them because when they are deficient,
it’s unpleasant for us. At the top end of the hierarchy, there are ‘growth needs’ – we don’t need them
because we’re lacking in something, but instead in order to grow as individuals.
Hierarchical order here ranges from the most basic needs to the most advanced needs. It is,
of course, possible to feel a sense of social belonging (for instance) when you lack food or shelter;
it’s just a lot harder. If you’re struggling with the needs that lie further up the list, it might be worth
considering whether all your basic physiological needs are being met. For instance, among
teenagers, sleep deprivation has become the norm rather than the exception, with surveys reporting
between 50% and 90% of teenagers failing to meet this basic physiological need.

2. Safety needs

Anything that makes you feel unsafe means this need is not met.
Safety needs come just behind physiological needs, as they also relate to our basic health and well-being.
This is about physical safety, such as protection from violence, but also about financial security, freedom
from accidents, and the security of easily accessible healthcare. More generally, having your safety needs
met means that you aren’t regularly afraid of anything: you’re not afraid of having a debilitating accident or
contracting a dangerous disease, of getting into financial difficulties, or of being physically attacked. But
having this need met isn’t just about living in a safe country with good social norms. Workplace or schoolyard
bullying, for instance, can mean that your safety needs are not met.
3. Social belonging
Fists together in circle wearing bracelets
So powerful, it can even help you ignore unmet lesser needs.
An updated version of this need has been described as ‘belongingness and love’, which perhaps addresses
its scope more accurately. We need friendships, family connections and emotional intimacy with others.
Different people in different societies meet this need in different ways: for some people, their need for social
belonging might be met entirely within their extended family; for others, it might be organized activities such
as a church community; for others, it might be a network of friendships and romantic relationships that meet
this need.
It’s also worth noting that meeting this need can enable us to overcome a lack of our basic needs – people
suffering hardship in war zones (lacking safety) or famines (lacking food) often manage to keep going through
the strength of their relationships with others.
