Short paper: moral development and dilemma assignment

This short paper assignment requires that you locate an individual not  associated with this course to interview. The interview will take  approximately 10–15 minutes to complete. The interview will be most  effective in person, but if this is not possible the interview can take  place over the phone, through email, or through any other appropriate  means of technology. During the interview, you will present the  interviewee with the Heinz dilemma, made famous by Kohlberg, and after a  review of the dilemma, you will ask follow-up questions. You will  review your interviewee’s responses and select which stage of moral  development is indicated by the each of the responses. You will reflect  on if you believe this is an accurate assessment of the individual’s  level of moral development. Utilizing criticisms of Kohlberg’s model and  this experience, you will construct a position on the utility of  Kohlberg’s model for assessing moral development. Consider if Kohlberg’s  theory accounts for atypical moral development (i.e., criminal behavior  or aggressive actions).
