Assignment 9
I am in Kohlberg’s Level III: Postconventional Moral Reasoning, between stage five and stage six. I believe that I am between stage five and stage six because as a Criminal Justice Major I feel that it is important to obey social rules because they benefit everyone and are established by mutual agreement. I don’t think our country could function without set, black and white rules, which would suggest I am in stage five. However, as a nurse I find myself in situations where a human life is at stake. I sometimes have the urge to step outside the black and white rules of our society because in the heat of the moment a human life seems much more sacred then bureaucracy, suggesting that I am in stage six.

We are in the same position and yet have different perspectives as to why we believe we are between stages 5 & 6. How interesting.
I feel that I am in the same place, between five and six. I feel as though society is open to interpertation of laws and such, as long as it benefits the greater good.
