  • Essay / Article Criticism of Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of morality...

    I believe that our belief about what is right and wrong in our society depends on the situation and individual differences, and relate this to the theory of Kohlberg was very effective in proving this. belief to the reader.I believe this article is of enormous importance to this course because it relates to our semester-long discussion of how humans grow and develop. This theory highlights the importance of gaining the perspective of different cultures and genders because each person develops and grows differently. In this specific case, moral development is not the same for everyone. My personal response to the article is that I agree with parts of Kohlberg's theory. However, I also think that it was missing some information necessary for it to be a flawless theory, if Kohlberg had found a way to incorporate individual differences into her theory, I would have completely agreed with her. However, I believe that the fact that Kohlberg's theory was missing gave importance to the information he was missing. This means that by not mentioning differences between cultures and genders, Kohlberg unknowingly emphasized how important these differences are to understanding how our society develops its beliefs about law and well-being.
