Subject: Kohlberg's theory

I thought that it was intereting how Kohlberg hypothesized that there were 6 stages of moral development but that we only really reach stage 5. Plus, we only really reach this stage after hitting the late 20s. His stage 6 even had to be removed recently. Kohlberg's stage 6 addresses people thinking at a "universal human rights" belief when faced with a dilemma and people going with their conscience over the law (p.241). People tend to go with their conscience, regardless if it agree with the law or not. If you believe that what you are doing is okay, of course you are going to do it. I thought that his "dilemma" stories were quite interesting as well.
