Which quotation below best supports the idea that the common good becomes more important to people as they age? (RI.1)
Kohlberg came up with a theory to describe the different ways that human beings make moral choices. (Paragraph 5)
They tend to follow the rules that their parents and teachers make because they are thinking about getting something good or not getting in trouble. (Paragraph 7)
They see rules as being the same for everyone, and they think it is important and valuable to do what one is 'supposed' to do. (Paragraph 12)
Once a person begins to think in a Stage 5 way about what benefits the community as a whole, they will almost never go back to a Stage 2 level of looking out for themselves first. (Paragraph 16)
