Eugenia Trevino October 9, 2023 Chapter Application #9
1. Before school, Ben stole some cookies from the cookie jar. During recess that day, someone threw his favorite ball onto the school roof. Ben thinks that losing his ball is his punishment for stealing.
Immanent justice because it is a stage of moral realism where children believe that breaking a rule always leads to punishment.
2. Juanita and her friends have set some rules for a playground game. Juanita realizes that these rules will reduce arguments and can be changed if
needed.
Moral relativism because in this stage, children understand that rules are created by people to help them get along.
3. Ginny would like to change the rules of the Scrabble game she is playing to allow “made-up” words to be used but she doesn’t because she does not think that would be fair.
Moral realism because in this stage children believe that rules must be followed and cannot be changed.
4. Sam offers to help his neighbor wash his car because he is hoping the neighbor might give him some money for helping.
Kohlberg pre-conventional level because Sam is expecting his neighbor to do something nice for him in return, which is rewarding him with money for helping.
5. Sally knows Kelly does not have any friends at school. She likes to treat others as she would want to be treated. Sally invited Kelly to a party even though her friends tease her and think she is weird.
Kohlberg postconventional level because members adhere to a “social contract” because a common set of expectations and laws benefits all group members. However, since this expectation no longer promote the welfare of Sally, it becomes invalid.
