Answer 1

C. third stage.

Step-by-step explanation:

When discussing the Heinz dilemma, Lindsey says, "I wouldn't steal the drug because I would not want anyone thinking of me as a thief." This type of logic fits with Kohlberg's third stage of moral reasoning. According to Kohlberg, there are three different stages in moral reasoning: pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional. Each level presents two sub-stages. These stages are achieved in the order listed below and not everybody reaches the last stage.

Answer 2

During the postconventional level, one's sense of morality is defined in terms of more abstract principles and values. At such point, people believe that some laws are unjust and should be changed or eliminated.
