The Kohlberg Theory

Abstract: 5 pages in length. Lawrence Kohlberg postulated, along with myriad other historical ethicists, that morality is not something that human beings are born with, but rather a slow process of learning that lasts throughout one's life. The Kohlberg Theory, adapted from Dewey and Piaget, addresses the fundamental aspects of moral judgment by defining just how a person applies reasoning to moral choice. The writer discusses Kohlberg's theory as it relates to whistleblowing. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
