George's moral decision making is at the conventional level, while his wife Jane's is at the postconventional level. Describe how these differences would impact a decision that they might make concerning a binge-drinking episode by their daughter Judy

What will be an ideal response?


George's conventional moral reasoning would mean that he expects Judy to behave like a "good girl" and not binge-drink because it would make others think negatively of her. Jane's postconventional moral reasoning would lead her to emphasize her obligations to her daughter and her compassion for her. She would be likely to make sure that Judy is physically healthy following her binge-drinking and educate her about the harmful effects of binge-drinking on her physical well-being.
