assignment 9
I believe that I am at Kohlberg's Level 3, postconventional moral reasoning, between stages 5 and 6. I tend to question the fairness of rules and laws. I am much more concerned with the greater good than the disobedience of a law. I am notorious for playing the so called "devil's advocate" because I question the law in comparison to the morality of what a person may have done. I also tend to believe that there are certain things that transcend laws (preserving a life).

I know what you mean, I find myself in the same situations!
It sounds to me like you are more in stage six then in stage five. I seems that you don’t just accept laws just because they are laws, you question whether or not they are right.
i agree with you because i am in the same stage 5. i have a tendency to question things and not think but then again i think outside the bo and it has got me further then just not thinking all the way.
I agree as well. There comes a point when you have to question what is really the best.. and to do that you may have to think outside the normal guidlines in a situation.
I agree with you about certain things that can transcend law! If someone is breaking the law there is a reason behind it most of the time. And if it is for saving a life. I say it is ok!
