Assignment 2 asks you about Lawrence Kohlberg's research. In your 500 word paper, you should consider (but do not summarize) Kohlberg's six stages of development with regard to the claim that individuals who act according to the morality of their culture are stuck in the "conventional stage" and then respond to the following questions:
1. Which perspective on relativism seems most correct to you: individualism, cultural relativism, or Kohlberg's system?
2. What, precisely, are the differences between the three theories?
3. Which theory is most similar to your personal ethical system? Explain why, and give examples that support your choice.
• Demonstrating you've thought about the questions means only including sources, and quotations, to support a position of your own.
