* Kohlber states that relationships are based on mutual trust. He postulated the
levels of morality development. At the first stage called the PREMORAL or
preconventional, A child do things and label them as BAD or GOOD depending on
the PUNISHMENT or REWARD they get. They have no concept of justice, fairness
and equity, for them, If I punch this kid and mom gets mad, thats WRONG. But if
I dance and sing, mama smiles and give me a new toy, then I am doing
something good. In the Conventional level, The individual actuates his act based
on the response of the people around him. He will follow the rules, regulations,
laws and morality the society upholds. If the law states that I should not
resuscitate this man with a DNR order, then I would not. However, in the Post
conventional level or the AUTONOMOUS level, the individual still follows the rules
but can make a rule or bend part of these rules according to his own MORALITY.
He can change the rules if he thinks that it is needed to be changed. Example is
that, A nurse still continue resuscitating the client even if the client has a DNR
order because he believes that the client can still recover and his mission is to
save lives, not watch patients die.
