Morality

When you look at moral development like Kohlberg's stages of that states through three different levels of moral development that builds on our cognitive development. Kohlberg as a cognitive theorist that a child's sense of morality is externally controlled. Children except and believe the rules of an authority figure such as their parents or older siblings maybe even their teachers, any one who is older and a type of figure in their life that gives some sort of direction. In Kohlberg's second stage he states that a individuals morality is tied with personal and social type relationships. Children believe in this stage that it is necessary to ensure positive relationships with their authority figures and others around them. During the last stage of Kohlberg's theory of moral development some believe that certain rules and laws shouldn't be and are unjust. As people say that his theory is bogus and don't believe the testing of his theory on younger males, when you really look into what he is saying and describing he has a sense of being correct.

Mortality is the distinction between good and evil, right and wrong. Every one has their own sense of morality some better than others. When learning about this in philosophy it really put into perspective how certain people just don't have a sense of morality and think that what is wrong is right and are just backwards because they don't care who they will hurt. You just have to know your right from wrong and thats what will get people in trouble. Having a sense of mortality is key to your understating of what you should do versus what you shouldn't. You make moral decisions every day you wake up and walk out your front door.
