Assignment 9
I would definitely say I am in level two Conventional moral reasoning, stage four. I would like to say that I do things because I know they are right or wrong, but I typically do what others expect of me to gain approval. I do what the majority does, and I tend to crave acceptance. Unfortunately,level two stage three of Kohlberg's moral reasoning is that of the concrete operational stage. This level tends to be followed by people who follow the rules and do what others expect with no regard for whether the situation is fair or not. However, it is the stage and level that applies most to me.

I find myself doing the same thing. I want to be accepted, I tend to be a follower.
I find myself doing the exact opposite of you. I have always been one to go against the grade. I tend to question the fairness of authority and the law. I often find myself doing what I believe is right, whether or not it conincides as what society deems as right.
Hey, at least you admit it! Theres nothing wrong with stage 3/4!
I think a lot of people feel the same way but just don’t admit it. Almost everyone wants to be accepted and approved of causing them to follow the rules without question.
I would have to agree with you. I feel like I’m in that stage because I have always been the one everyone looks up to. So I try and do good and what is expected of me. It’s normal to feel the way we do and desire acceptance. After all, everyone wants to feel love and support at all times.
I use to find myself wanting to be accepted by others, however, in the past two years I have learned that it is not doing me any good following others and it's better for me to think for myself.
