REFLECTION

From the innermost core of your being, whom have you chosen - God (goodness) or not God (the
evil). How true have you been to your fundamental option? Is your life one of communion with
God or one of isolation?

As a person who raised by my parents with a teaching of Christianity in my innermost core of

being I chosen God(the goodness). Choosing goodness to our self will develope our moral
standard and behavior. I chose God or the goodness against The evil.

Even though I always commit sin, I always see God as the good one and asked for forgiveness.
As I believe in his teaching, about heaven and hell. And as a moral person I choose goodness to
be accepted by God to heaven if time comes.

My life are one communion with God, as I believe in God goodness always happen in my life
and always guides me to do the right thing.

REFLECTION
Based on Williams Kay's and Kohlberg's stages of moral development point, in which stage are
you?

1. Are you doing for genuine conscience formation to reach post conventional level of moral
development, the full internalization of universal ethical principles?

I consider myself in conventional level stage three. My sense of morality is tied to personal and
societal relationships as I continue to accept the rules of authority figures, but this is now due
to my belief that this is necessary to ensure positive relationships in society. 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.

2. What are you doing for genuine conscience formation to reach post conventional level of
moral development, the full internalization of universal ethical principles?

For genuine conscience formation to reach post conventional level of moral development, the
full internalization of universal ethiccal principles Conscience formation begins with the deep-
seated decision to seek moral truth. One adopts, as a way of life, the habit of seeking out
answers to questions about right and wrong, persevering in that quest until one arrives at a
state of moral certainty, after having made the most reasonable effort possible to arrive at
those answers. As one's consciousness widens, the moral parameters or standards of one's
decision making widens, one's moral conscience widens, one matures.
