Question:
What are some criticisms against Kohlberg's theory of moral development?
Author: Ahmad DanialAnswer:
1. Many people never reach the postconventional ethics level of moral reasoning, which raises questions about moral maturity. 2. Moral reasoning depends more on context than Kohlberg acknowledged. 3. Performance at a certain stage depends more on domain-specific knowledge than Kohlberg described. 4. The links between moral reasoning and moral behaviour are relatively weak; people often reason at one stage but behave in another. 5. Kohlberg's theory doesn't adequately take cultural differences into account.
