Lawrence Kohlberg was a Harvard professor known for his theory of moral development. He proposed that morality develops through six stages across three levels - pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional. At the pre-conventional level, children's morality is based on obedience and self-interest. The conventional level involves conforming to social norms and rules. Finally, at the post-conventional level, morality is based on abstract principles of justice and social contracts. Kohlberg's theory suggests morality grows increasingly complex as individuals develop through these six stages.

- 7. LEVEL 2Conventional Morality (Age of nine to adolescent)
- 8. STAGES OF CONVENTIONAL Stage 3. Good Interpersonal Relationships The child/individual is good in order to be seen as being a good person by others. Therefore, answers are related to the approval of others.

- 11. STAGES OF POST-CONVENTIONAL Stage 5. Social Contract and Individual Rights The child/individual becomes aware that while rules/laws might exist for the good of the greatest number, there are times when they will work against the interest of particular individuals. The issues are not always clear cut.
