Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development01:19

Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development

922
Kohlberg's theory of moral development uses the Heinz dilemma — a thought experiment in which a man, Heinz, must decide whether to steal an unaffordable drug to save his dying wife — to illustrate the evolution of moral reasoning. This framework, divided into three levels with two stages, highlights how individuals' understanding of right and wrong becomes increasingly complex.
Pre-Conventional Level
At the pre-conventional level, morality is primarily driven by personal...

Overview of Connective Tissues Proper

9.7K
Connective tissue proper is a class of connective tissue that encompasses all mature connective tissues except bone, cartilage, blood, and lymph. This extensive class of tissues has two subclasses — loose and dense connective tissues — classified based on the protein fiber arrangement and the amount of ground substance. 
The loose connective tissues have a meshwork of thin collagen and elastin fibers, which provide tensile strength for support and enough elasticity to move...

Layers of Connective Tissue Proper

Fascia, a thin layer of fibrous connective tissue, is distributed throughout the body. It demarcates and forms a supportive covering over skeletal muscles, bones, blood vessels, and organs. There are three main types of facia— superficial fascia, deep fascia, and subserous fascia. These are all present at different depths in the body. Fascia reduces the friction and permits muscles, joints, and organs to easily slide against each other, facilitating movement of the body and preventing...

Milgram's Obedience to Authority

Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

Area of Science:

  • Moral psychology
  • Philosophy of mind

Background:

  • Psychology studies suggest behavior is influenced by trivial situational factors.
  • This challenges theories of moral agency.
  • Doris (2015b) proposed a theory of moral agency to address this challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate Doris's (2015b) theory of moral agency.
  • To propose an alternative framework for understanding moral agency.

Main Methods:

  • Critique of Doris's theory.
  • Analysis of the role of individual differences in moral behavior.

Main Results:

  • Doris's theory is flawed due to its focus on situational influences.
  • The theory neglects the importance of individual differences like moral identity and virtue.
  • Individual differences in resilience to situational factors offer a stronger account of moral agency.

Conclusions:

  • A focus on individual differences provides a more robust explanation of moral agency.
  • This approach effectively addresses the skeptical challenge posed by situational psychology.
