Explain how thinking or reasoning about moral issues becomes more sophisticated over time and identify any gender differences in moral reasoning.

What will be an ideal response?


Both Piaget and Kohlberg described stages of moral reasoning that become less reliant on consequences of behavior and external authorities and more based on personal internalized perspectives of right and wrong. Initially, women were considered to have lower levels of moral reasoning or different (caring vs. justice) orientations to moral reasoning, but empirical evidence does not support gender differences.
