8-2 Short Paper: Moral Development and
Dilemma
This assignment requires that you locate an individual not associated
with this course to interview. During the interview, you will present the
interviewee with the Heinz dilemma, made famous by Kohlberg, and
after a review of the dilemma, ask follow-up questions. Review your
interviewee’s responses and select which stage of moral development is
indicated by each of the responses. Reflect on whether you believe this
is an accurate assessment of the individual’s level of moral development.
Utilizing criticisms of Kohlberg’s model and this experience, construct a
position on the utility of Kohlberg’s model for assessing moral
development and whether it accounts for atypical moral development.
