Van Mendez · Answer 1

Pre-conventional.

Explanation:

Stages of moral development as prescribed by Lawrence Kohlberg, are classified in three different levels of moral reasoning that are pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional and each level is sub-divided into two stages. To avoid punishment or to receive rewards, children at this stage conformed to the laws enforced by adult or higher authority.

Answer: Pre-conventional

Explanation:

Pre-conventional level is the first stage in moral development in which an child (usually below 9-years) judges morality of act on basis of immediate results it produces. At this stage, personal code of mortality is not present rather outside world and people are the base for decision.

According to the question, Charlie at pre-conventional stage of moral development where he is thinking about jumping from garbage roof is worthy because the morality is based on fun and physical consequence.
