Moral Development

Moral Development investigates two contrasting theories of moral development. It features Lawrence Kohlberg's perspective, which suggests that moral growth occurs in stages linked to cognitive development, and the opposing view of learning theorists, who argue that moral behavior is learned and detached from reasoning.

The film utilizes Dr. Stanley Milgrim’s obedience experiment to illustrate six stages of moral reasoning, each represented by a different participant. These stages highlight the varying motivations individuals have when faced with moral dilemmas, examining their concerns for self, society, and authority.

For collectors, this film offers a unique insight into moral psychology and the evolution of thought regarding ethics and behavior. Available on DVD, it serves as a valuable resource for understanding complex moral theories and their implications in real-world scenarios.
