Kohlbergs theory explains that there are 3 levels/ stages of moral development. the stages are:
preconventional: a child's sense of morality is controlled externally (ex: parents, teachers)
conventional: people judge morality by comparing them to society's views and expectations
postconventinal: the individual moves beyond the perspective of their society

Erickson proposed that successful completion in each stage results in a healthy personality. the stages are: trust vs mistrust, autonomy vs doubt, initiative vs guilt, competence vs inferiority, identity vs role confusion, and intimacy vs isolation.

I believe my personality has mostly developed through nurture. When I was little my dad was known to be hot headed and would get upset over the smallest things, for example if my dog made yellow spots in the yard or the trash was full before garbage day. Because of this now I tend to get mad over little things too like if my sister borrowed something of mine and she didn't put it back in the place she found it.

One example of a moral dilemma I have been through was with another student in a math class where the student would always ask for answers whether it was homework or in-class work. Instead of giving them the answers I asked what they were struggling with and if I could help them to understand the unit they had a hard time with, and I was able to help them outside of class. I did this because I wanted them to understand the material and get a good grade on the upcoming tests and quiz's. When I made this decision I was in the post conventional stage because I stayed true to my own ethics, and acted only according to my individual principles, rather than making my decision based on society's expectations.

The stage that had the most impact on me was the competence vs inferiority stage. I was around 11 when I quit playing soccer, the reason I quit was because I was put on a team with girls that were much better players than me. The girls would always pick on me because I wasn't as good of a player. This experience led to failure, I would always compare myself to the other girls on my soccer team because I was always reminded that I wasn't as good. Also at the time it was one of my only hobbies and sports. This failure impacts me today because I haven't been able to stick with any of the sports I've played. The other stage that had the most impact on me is autonomy vs shame and doubt. When I was very little my mom would let me pick out my own outfits for the day but if I picked something that wasn't right for the occasion or didn't suit the weather she would help me out while still letting voice my own opinion. This experience led to success, because my mom didn't try to do everything for me nor did she let me do whatever I wanted. This experience impacts me today in a good way because I am able to make the right decisions for myself independently.

While I was In seventh grade I lied to my mom about a party I went to. The next day she found out that I lied through another parent and I was grounded. I told my mom I didn't make any bad decisions at the party so she gave me my phone back after a day. The parenting style that was used was authoritative parenting, I know this because she gave me a very small punishment for lying and she gave me back my phone because she knew how sorry I was. This experience had a great impact on me. I hated having my phone taken away, so ever since then I have only told my mom the truth and she is mostly fine with everything I do.
