On Thursday in class we will be discussing and applying Kohlberg's ideas about how people develop in their moral thinking (FYI: moral thinking means "how we determine right and wrong"). In preparation, I'd like you to view the video below and add Kohlberg's three levels of moral development to your notes (if they are not already there from your textbook reading). You'll need to have these handy for an activity we will do in class.

Moral Development - Video Lecture
On Monday, October 29, you'll be asked to apply the theories of Lawrence Kohlberg to some moral dilemmas presented in class. In preparation, you'll need to view the video lecture on Moral Development embedded below. Treat this with the same seriousness that you would if you were in class. For example, you'll want to take notes, since you will undoubtedly need this information later (both for reviewing this unit and at semester time...and prior to the AP Exam).
If the video player below is not working for you, try here.
As a bonus, I'm also embedding for your interest and entertainment a 2008 TED Talk by Jonathan Haidt, one of the critics (or counters) to Kohlberg's theory described in the lecture. Not only does his talk on The Moral Roots of Liberals and Conservatives describe the essence of the "Social Intuitionist" model, but be provides evidence (and explanation) for its roots in evolutionary theory and how it impacts modern political decisions. So, if you're at all interested in politics and why Democrats and Republicans seem so incapable of getting along, this talk may provide an useful answer. Especially in an election year, his message is relevant and may offer all of us some much-needed perspective.
