Dear · Answer 1

Hello!

The options are:

A) Conventional Behavior

B) Cultural Relativism

C) Post Conventional Behavior

D) Natural Rights

E) Pre Conventional Behavior

The answer is A) Conventional Behavior

The question is related to the Theory of Moral Development by Lawrence Kohlberg. In the Conventional Behavior stage, the individual tries to behave in the "socially expected" way. People who are in the Conventional Behavior stage consider extremely important to obey the law, as it is considered to keep the social order.

So, John, the school prefect, when finding his best friend, who is also the head prefect, breaking a school rule, said that he was sorry that he had to book him (his best friend) as he could not make any exceptions, the law is the same for everybody, is an example of Conventional Behavior.
