Personal Development and Ethics
Moral Morality is a system of values and beliefs about the rightness or wrongness of a person’s
action. Moral development theory is based on how an individual develop morally in making
clear judgment of right or wrong as they are trained. Kohlberg’s Moral development is based
primary primaarily on moral reasoning and discloses in a series of stages. Theses stages are pre
conventional, conventional and post conventional. Pre conventional stage, a child assumes that
power and authorities or fixed rules which he or she must unquestionably obey. The
conventional stage discloses how an individual should behave having good interpersonal
relation, feeling, love, empat y, trust and concern for others. Post conventional, individual begin
to analyze society and consider the rights and values that needed to be uphold.
Carol Gilligan’s Theory on the other hand is care based theory and is also described in different
stages. These are pre conventional, conventional and post conventional. Pre conventional stage
focus on gold as individual survival, which is from selfishness to responsibility to others.
Conventional stage, shows that self-sacrifice is goodness. The post conventional stage, discover
nonviolence and understanding of others feeling.
The difference between Kohlberg and Gilligan theory is that Gilligan, transitions between the
stages are fueled by changes in the sense of self rather than
in changes in cognitive capability
while Kohlberg theory is based primarily on moral reasoning.
Care base and justice base theory addresses what actions “right or wrong”, care base morality is
recognized as an inter connectedness and universality. Justice base morality is based on the
world has been interactive individuals. Gilligan theory of moral development includes care base
and justice base morality. Gilligan in her theory suggest that males and females are thought as
they develop and they develop differently.

Question 1: Name Gilligan’s stages of moral development which stage do you believe you are
currently in? What can you do to move to the next level?
Gilligan’s stages of moral development are pre-conventional, conventional and post
conventional. In Gilligan’s development theory I belief that I am at the post conventional stage,
where discovering nonviolence and understanding for other persons feeling matures. This shows
that being selfish and focusing on goal only is not just for individual survival but also to think
about others that relies on me for support. Thus, selfishness and responsibilities are not the main
focus of my maturity. Hence, maintaining this stage in Gilligan theory will be the next step
forward.
Question 2 which of Jung’s dichotomies is most challenging for you in your personal
development? Explain.
Jung’s personality test has four dichotomies these are: extraversion versus introversion, sensing
versus intuition, thinking versus feeling and judging versus perceiving. However, in Jung’s
dichotomies, extroversion versus introversion is the most dominant dichotomy. The most
challenging dichotomy for me is sensing versus intuition because, I believe that growth and
maturity should bring a person to greater balance between each dichotomies as they develop.
Therefore, making keen observations become difficult as I mature and look at tangible facts that
life involves also my belief changes as I upsurge more experiences. The meaning of upsurge
doesn’t fit here. Just say “as I gain more experience.”
