Level three, Post conventional, this is seen in adulthood. Stage five,
Social Contract Orientation, this is based off the state that people have their
own morals now but they aren't entirely certain of them. They also have
other competing morals to compromise their principles to avoid any situation
that could be right or wrong, democratic government is based off stage five
for an example. Stage six, Universal Ethical Principles, this is based on a
higher law, we need to adhere to laws in order to be obedient. A good
example would be Martin Luther King, if you follow him and his morals you
may face the consequences.
I find Lawrence Kohlberg very interesting, I enjoyed reading about his
theory. He seemed to be very smart at a young age and started his career

seems to be one of the most tangible theories on moral development, while
he was extending other theories he began to create a new field in
psychology for moral development.
