According to Gilligan, which statement is true?

1. Men usually follow the moral development path of nonviolence.
2. Women usually follow the moral development path of equality.
3. Men usually follow the moral development path of fairness.
4. Women usually follow the moral development path of justice.


Correct Answer: 3

According to Gilligan, for women moral maturity is less a matter of abstract, impersonal justice or equality and more an ethic of caring relationships. Men generally follow the path of justice or fairness, based upon the idea that everyone should receive the same treatment. Women typically follow the path of caring, which is based upon the premise of nonviolence: that no one should be harmed or abandoned.
