What would YOU do?
2. Table Group Activity
After we define key terms in the reading, read the article on Lawrence Kohlberg from Ethics for Life.
Respond to these questions:
a. What is a benefit of reaching a higher stage of moral reasoning? How does this compare with Plato's reasoning for why we should act morally just?
b. Why would some cultures be more "prone to promote virtue in their citizens" (212) than the U.S.?
c. Do you think that Animas tends to promote "conventional" reasoning in students like the article claims most colleges do? (p. 213)
d. What are Gilligan's criticisms of Kohlberg's theory? Do you agree with her? In other words, do you think that women and men have different views of morality? Explain/provide examples from your experience.
e. What are criticisms of Gilligan's theory? (p. 219).
Homework:
- Take this Moral Test and copy and paste one of the moral dilemmas you like best to use for your interview essay.
- If you missed class today, please watch the video on my blog and take notes in your starter section. Additionally, review the Moral Development Interview Essay and take the Moral Test. You can get the readings from me upon return.
