(1932) - says that moral understanding develops

(1958) - says that there are three levels of

moral reasoning

 William Damon (1999) - says that children develop ideas of morality from many different social influences AND it is part of human nature

John accidentally broke 15 cups.

Henry purposefully broke 1 cup.

Do you think younger children would agree? Explain?

Task 3 Heinz dilemma – watch the video on the link if you can.  https:// www.si A woman was on her deathbed. There was one drug that the doctor’s mplyps thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a druggist in the ycholo same town had recently discovered. The drug was expensive to gy.org/ make, but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost kohlbe him to produce. He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2,000 for a rg.html small dose of the drug. The sick woman's husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money, but he could only get together about $1,000 which is half of what it cost. He told the druggist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist said: “No, I discovered the drug and I'm going to make money from it.” So, Heinz got desperate and broke into the man's laboratory to steal the drug.

Should Heinz have broken into the laboratory to steal the drug for his wife? Why or why not?

Possible Answers:

 Heinz should not steal the medicine because he will consequently be put in prison which will mean he is a bad person.  Or: Heinz should steal the medicine because it is only worth $200 and not how much the druggist wanted for it; Heinz had even offered to pay for it and was not stealing anything  Heinz should steal the medicine because he will be much happier if he saves his wife, even if he will have to serve a prison sentence. Or: Heinz should not steal the medicine because prison is an awful place, and he would more likely languish in a jail cell than over his wife's death.  Heinz should steal the medicine because his wife expects it; he wants to be a good husband. Or: Heinz should not steal the drug because stealing is bad and he is not a criminal; he has tried to do everything he can without breaking the law, you cannot blame him.  Heinz should not steal the medicine because the law prohibits stealing, making it illegal. Or: Heinz should steal the drug for his wife but also take the prescribed punishment for the crime as well as paying the druggist what he is owed. Criminals cannot just run around without regard for the law; actions have consequences  Heinz should steal the medicine because everyone has a right to choose life, regardless of the law. Or: Heinz should not steal the medicine because the scientist has a right to fair compensation. Even if his wife is sick, it does not make his actions right.  Heinz should steal the medicine, because saving a human life is a more fundamental value than the property rights of another person. Or: Heinz should not steal the medicine, because others may need the medicine just as badly, and their lives are equally significant.
