I thought the test that we were given on last Saturday was very interesting. After we later discussed our responses, I did find it interesting how many of us were very empathetic in the situation with the ill wife. We all know that stealing is not the right thing to do but do our justifications for doing it, make it right? All of our lives, many of us are taught about what is right compared to what is wrong and often times we find our selves questioning what is right and what is wrong. When we put our religious views in tact, then we see things through God's eyes but when we look at it through our subconscious minds, we primarily go with our "gut feelings" and know that it just isn't right. After reading a little more regarding the stages of moral development according to Kohlberg, I can agree with much of what he saying and how we make decisions based on our moral values. However, I wonder how many of our children today really hold true to their moral values????
