    Introduction
    * Moral development is a crucial aspect of human
    growth and is essential in shaping our ethical
    decision-making processes. Lawrence Kohlberg, a
    developmental psychologist, proposed a theory of
    moral development that is divided into three main
    levels, each with two stages.

    Presentation title 3
    Level 1: Preconventional Morality
    Stage 1 and Stage 2
    Stage 1 – Obedience and Punishment
    Orientation
    * At this initial stage, individuals primarily focus on avoiding
    punishment. Their moral decisions are based on fear of authority figures
    and the consequences of their actions. They believe that what is right is
    what avoids punishment.
    Stage 2 – Individualism and Exchange
    * In this stage, individuals begin to consider their own interests and
    personal gain. They start to understand that there can be different
    points of view and that they can negotiate to satisfy their own needs.
    Morality becomes a matter of individualism and reciprocity.

    Presentation title 5
    Level 2 : Conventional Morality
    Stage 3 and Stage 4
    Stage 3 – Interpersonal Relationships
    * At this level, individuals place a significant emphasis on maintaining
    good relationships and seeking approval from others. They make moral
    decisions based on the desire to conform to social norms and to be
    perceived as a "good" person by others.

    Stage 4 – Maintaining Social Order


    * In this stage, individuals focus on following societal rules and
    maintaining social order. They value authority and uphold the
    law, believing that society's rules are essential for ensuring
    stability and justice.
    Presentation title 7
    Level 3 : Postconventional Morality
    Stage 5 and Stage 6
    Stage 5 – Social Contract and Individual
    Rights
    * Individuals at this stage recognize the fluidity of societal rules and
    understand that they can be changed for the greater good and to ensure
    fairness. They consider social contracts and individual rights when
    making moral decisions.

    Stage 6 – Universal Principles


    * In the final stage of Kohlberg's theory, individuals have a highly
    developed sense of personal principles and values. They make moral
    decisions based on universal ethical principles, such as justice, equality,
    and human rights, regardless of societal norms or laws.

    Presentation title 9
    Conclusion
    * Kohlberg's Moral Stages of Development offer valuable insights into
    how individuals evolve in their moral reasoning and decision-making
    capabilities. It's important to note that not everyone progresses through all
    these stages, and individuals may operate at different stages depending on
    the situation and their level of moral development. Understanding these
    stages can help us appreciate the complexity of human morality and make
    more informed judgments about ethical behavior.

    Presentation title 10
    “
    Intelligence may be taken as a necessary, but not
    sufficient, cause of moral advance. All morally

    ”
    advanced children are bright, but not all bright
    children are morally advanced.
    Lawrence Kohlberg
