Detailed Explanation
Kohlberg's Sixth Stage: Universal Ethical Principle Orientation
In Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, the sixth and final stage of the Post-Conventional Level is the Universal Ethical Principle Orientation.
- Core Mechanism: Moral reasoning is based on self-chosen ethical principles that are comprehensive, universal, and consistent.
- Key Characteristics: Individuals at this stage are guided by abstract concepts such as justice, human rights, and equality rather than strict adherence to existing laws.
- Conscience Over Authority: Actions are driven by an internalized individual conscience, and laws are evaluated based on how well they uphold fundamental human dignity and universal ethical standards.
Therefore, option B accurately captures the essence of Stage 6.
