Answer:

During adolescence, many people move into Kohlberg’s conventional stage of moral reasoning. At this stage, teens start making moral decisions based on the expectations of others and the rules and laws of society. They try to act in ways that win the approval of important people in their lives, and they usually show respect for authority. Only a minority of teens (and adults) move beyond this stage of moral reasoning. Those that enter the next stage, called the postconventional stage, make moral decisions based on higher principles, above and beyond the rules of a particular society.
