Summarize criticisms of Kohlberg's theory of moral reasoning.
On Jun 20, 2024
A good answer would include the following key points:
-Kohlberg's theory has been criticized because it is based solely on observations within Western cultures.
-Members of industrialized,technically advanced societies move through morality stages faster than members of nonindustrialized countries.
-One explanation for this cultural difference is that Kohlberg's view involves governmental and societal institutions (such as the police and court system),whereas nonindustrialized cultures' morality may be based on the relationship between people in a village.
-Kohlberg's view of moral reasoning also does not explain females' moral judgments because his data was based on males.
