This theory helps us understand that mortality starts from the early childhood years and can be affected by several factors.

He discovered that children are faced with different moral issues, & their judgments on whether they are to act positively or negatively over each dilemma are highly influenced by several factors.

He created a story called the Heinz Dilemma to begin his study of moral thinking.

He believed a sense of justice was at the heart of moral reasoning. ]]> 2016-12-13 13:16:38 UTC https://padlet.com/nielissohot112/lawkohl/wish/143341084 nielissohot112 https://padlet.com/nielissohot112/lawkohl/wish/143342364 •Level 1: Pre-coventional
