Question

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 best fits with Kohlberg’s ____ stage of moral reasoning.

Answer 1

This type of logic best fits with Kohlberg’s third stage of moral reasoning.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 3 levels of Kohlberg’s stages of moral development

1. Preconventional
2. Conventional
3. Postconventional

Postconventional

This is the third stage or level of Kohlberg’s moral development. People now think critically that they are different from other individuals and they have the liberty to disobey anything which they think is not appropriate or inconsistent with the society's principle.

People identify the moral acts which are right. In this case Lindsey realizes that stealing is not an appropriate act and she should not do it.
