Kohlberg's Post-Conventional Morality: Universal Ethical Principle Orientation
In Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, the sixth and final stage of the post-conventional level is Universal Ethical Principle Orientation.
- Internal Conscience: Individuals at this stage are not bound by external rules or social contracts; instead, their moral decisions stem from their own internal conscience and universal principles of justice, equality, and human rights.
- Conflict with Laws: If a societal law violates human dignity or justice, a person at this stage possesses the moral courage to defy that law.
Therefore, option B is the most accurate and analytical statement describing this stage.
