Initial Post Instructions
Option 1: In our readings this week there is an extensive discussion
on educating children in their early childhood years. Based on what you know
about Piaget’s stages of cognitive development, what type of early childhood
education program would you want your child to attend? Why?
Option 2: A young man was sentenced to serve 10 years for selling a
small amount of marijuana when he was 15 years old. He escaped from prison six
months after his sentencing and moved to a different state. The authorities
located him when he went to vote, 30 years later. He is a professional
carpenter and a model citizen. Should he be sent back to prison to serve the
remainder of his 9.5-year sentence? Why or why not? Is your answer to this
question based in the preconventional, conventional or postconventional level
of moral reasoning? Should the level of moral reasoning be based on the stage
of development that the man was in when he escaped from prison, or when he was
located by authorities? Explain.
Review
Kohlberg’s Levels of Moral Reasoning from your text by clicking on tabs below:
Preconventional
Lowest level. Moral
reasoning is controlled primarily by external rewards and punishment.
Conventional
Intermediate level.
Individuals abide by certain standards, but these are standards set by others
such as parents or society.
Postconventional
Highest level. The individual recognizes alternative moral
courses, explores the options, and then decides on a personal moral code.
