✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
In Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, the sixth and final stage of 'Post-Conventional Morality' is termed Universal Ethical Principle Orientation.
Key Characteristics of Stage 6:
- Internalized Standards: Individuals transcend external social rules and laws, committing instead to their own conscience and universal ethical principles (such as human rights, human dignity, and justice).
- Abstract Moral Reasoning: Right and wrong are determined through abstract ethical principles rather than concrete laws.
- Moral Courage: If a legal rule violates a fundamental human value or justice, the individual possesses the moral courage to disobey that law (e.g., civil disobedience movements led by Mahatma Gandhi or Martin Luther King Jr.).
Analysis of Other Options:
- Option (a) corresponds to Stage 4 (Social Order Maintaining Orientation).
- Option (c) corresponds to Stage 3 (Good Boy/Good Girl Orientation).
- Option (d) corresponds to Stage 1 (Obedience and Punishment Orientation).
