Question

A lifeguard in Florida was fired for leaving his assigned zone because he opted to help a drowning man, even though his supervisor had ordered him not to leave his zone and to call 911 for help instead. The actions of the lifeguard were motivated by his internal values. In the given scenario, the lifeguard is at the _____ of moral development. a. preconventional level b. postconventional level c. conventional level d. self-interest leve

Answer 1

post-conventional level

Step-by-step explanation:

Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development have been categorized into three stages and each stage is further divided into two sub-stages. The post-conventional stage is the third stage of moral development which is characterized by the principle of abstract reasoning and moral logic which are based on individual conception of justice even if they differ from prescribed rules. As per the question, lifeguard chooses to act on his internalized principle which reflects post-conventional level of morality.
