Final answer:
Gilligan rejected the thesis that neither perspective of justice or care was 'better' and instead settled on the thesis that boys and girls have different understandings of morality. She views this thesis as better because it recognizes and values different perspectives of morality and emphasizes the importance of care and responsibility.
Step-by-step explanation:
After Gilligan documented her descriptive findings of 2 distinct moral voices, she considered various theses for how to understand them (our presenters covered these). Briefly explain two theses she rejected and why; then explain which thesis she settled on, and why she views this as better than others.
Gilligan rejected the thesis that neither perspective of justice or care was 'better' because she believed that the two norms of justice served different purposes. She settled on the thesis that boys and girls have different understandings of morality, with boys emphasizing rules and laws while girls consider people's reasons behind morally wrong behavior. Gilligan views this thesis as better because it recognizes and values different perspectives of morality and emphasizes the importance of care and responsibility.
