Detailed Explanation
Explanation of Kohlberg's Post-Conventional Morality
Lawrence Kohlberg's third and highest level of moral development is 'Post-Conventional Morality'.
- Individuals at this level (especially under the universal ethical principle orientation) do not blindly accept the validity of external social rules or laws.
- Instead, they make logical and critical evaluations based on higher values of justice, human rights, equality, and their own conscience.
- In a classroom context, this level empowers students beyond mere 'obedient compliance', enabling them to engage in democratic values, logical independence, and high-level moral decision-making.
Therefore, Option C is the most authentic and scientifically valid statement.
