People comment this over and over again. I teach and have to project my voice in a lecture room so I was in that mode when I made the video. It's my first video I've ever made so I'm learning. Since it has 100k views I didn't want to take it down and rechange it. The later videos I've made are much quieter. If it bothers you - you can turn your volume down on your computer or KZbin. Hope you found the video helpful even though my voice was loud.

[@Medhead101]

Kohlberg asserted that women usually only reach stage 3 whereas men can reach higher stages with some men reaching stage 6. Is there a gender difference?

[@muhammad_nagi]

but he actually it was said that kohlberg only interviewed male interviewees for this theory, so i’m not quite sure about that

[@dudies3377]

The only thing that would stop me from stealing the drug is the fact that I'm a Christian (stage 4 or 5 morality). Looking at this from a purely secular perspective, it would def be the moral choice to finesse that drug. If you were to look at this from a deontological perspective, you'd basically be saying that the act of stealing is more significant than a human life. Most people will agree that's false and will instead look at the scenario through a utilitarianism perspective. Stealing the drug will save a life at a cost of some thousands of dollars from some pharmaceutical company which is probably swimming in wealth. It's not a given that the supply of the drug is very limited, so because the only cost is a tickle to some aggregate of millionaires, it would maximize wellbeing to a greater extent if you just stole the drug. Then after that, you need to consider the risk factor of actually stealing the drug. The prospect of being incarcerated would probably serve as a huge deterrence to many people who arrive at the conclusion that stealing the drug is the right thing to do, especially if they have no experience in theft... but if you use the same utilitarianism perspective then even a slight chance of being able to save the life outweighs the probability of getting caught.

[@jseanbrooks1]

The problem with Christianity is not that it is a deontological system of ethics, it is that an objective system of ethics derived from a supposed divine prescriber. While this may sound like a good thing, in practice it leads to an undeserved certainty in the consequences or lack thereof of your actions without giving due concern to the subjective implications reported by others. This undeserved certainty also is apparent in the epistemology of religions. Relative ethics would be equally unwise because it could be wrangled to justify any action. Unless it can be said surely that societies can collectively prescribe an objective moral system as a whole (and I don't think it can, though I could be mistaken), then subjective ethics is the only solution. And the only way that subjective ethics can be accurately used in hypotheticals such as this is by way of empathy and life experience, so I think that is the lens this theory is coming from. He is basically saying that this is a very rudimentary way to gauge peoples life experience + their levels of empathy and how that carries out in the decision-making of ethical dilemmas.

What if my answer is I won't steal the drug because I don't want to risk my husband's life for possible side effects and dangers that may be associated with a drug that is not yet catered to the public? What stage am I in? And why?

[@LearnMyTest]

Hi Khate - this would be considered a stage 1 response because you are focused on the consequences of taking the drug.

[@randomperson360]

me and my husband would both go to different drs to see different options and all but if there was absolutely nothing we could do wed try and get friends and family to help and they would but if not wed do anything for eachother so yes we would is that stage 3?

[@LearnMyTest]

I agree that this would be stage 3 since your focus is on friends and family.

[@spagettboy1989]

What are other criticisms about Kohlbergs theory?

[@LearnMyTest]

I think a lot of people mentioned - from a philosophical perspective one person cannot be more advanced in moral thinking than another another man. The other arguments are that it does not exactly correlate to moral decision making. This lead to the four component model which Rest discussed in his theories.

[@minjamarkovic9818]

One is Giligan's criticism about the gender differences. Then there's the universality of the stadiums, for example stage 5 (stage 1 of post conventional stadium) is extremely rare, and the same goes for stage 6, which cannot be found at all in primitive societies, so Kohlberg had to adjust his theory a little. And last, there's a question about "regression" in moral judgments. Like, is it possible to think sometimes like you're on stage 1, even though you've reached higher levels? The answer is yes (wars, poverty etc.) which means that stadiums are not organized in hierarchical structure, as Kohlberg claimed. they're rather set of abilities that we obtain during our lives

[@jacobman8565]

Is stage 6 linked to utilitarianism?

[@geniech92]

If I said, I would steal because "she needs it," which stage does that fall under?

[@LearnMyTest]

I don't think that would be enough information to score it

[@austinzzt3964]

Hey, why was it difficult for us to reach stage 6?

[@LearnMyTest]

That is a good question. They divided the stages up into levels like I said in the video because some people thought that stage 6 didn't exist but as I said in the video kohlherg insisted there was a stage 6. Most people look to rules and what everyone else is doing to define their moral decisions and being able to reason higher than that is hard.

[@niched7738]

[@PrabhjotSingh-ku5nv]

After watching this video.. I felt there will be a stage zero.. If a person love his wife very much... He will kidnap children of the doctor or pharmacist.. And take all the treatment until his wife will be fine.. .. If a personr DONT LOVE his wife.. He will definitely find these EXCUSES.. . Some times we mix LOVE with NEEDS.. Like i need this person... And we mix it with love... But... Every thing depends on the intensity of the relationship..

[@LearnMyTest]

Thanks for watching Khate. This would be a stage 3 response - because it focused on your relationship as a wife but also has some stage 1-2 because your focus is on the negative outcome that may result from not stealing the drug.

[@damircardinal3747]

Soo good

[@LearnMyTest]

Velisa Sishuba thanks!

[@ProudVet-Russ]

no amount of justification is going to make it ok for you to participate in what is effectively murdering your spouse. if its within your means be it legal or not to save their life then choosing not to participate makes you effectively an accessory to her death. cant see how theft is ever going to outweigh death in any kinda moral comparison.

[@ASingleLettuceLeaf]

I have watched few videos on this and they all seem to say something different for level 1 stage 2. I asked my teacher and she just said “different individuals have different viewpoints” so I am very confused now. Can someone please explain?

[@LearnMyTest]

They have organized them into schemas. So really stages 1 and 2 are a schema 1 = personal interests... where consequences are used to explain choices in the dilemma. Schema 2 is comprised of = stage 3 and 4 are where you use relationships, roles, rules, and norms to explain your decision with the dilemma. Schema 3 - the post-conventional schema goes beyond the rules and norms to provide an answer that supports social cooperation.

[@ian9toes]

You don’t have 10k that’s why you have to steal the drug.

[@Travis_Scott26]

Your options are to let your wife die or steal the drug to save her. I guess you can steal the drug and sell it for 10k but you'll be caught quickly because someone just stole the pill and you're selling it soon after, very suspicious. However, theres better ways to save lives than stealing things because you risk ending your own life. You can directly help people without stealing

What if my answer was yes I would steal because I want to save her life because I just love her and donot want to lose her! What is this stage?

[@LearnMyTest]

Hi! This is a great question. Your response is consistent with a conventional level, stage 3. When you say, "I love my wife and don't want to lose her", you are focused on your relationships and role as a husband. Stage 3 responses fit into that relationship category. I appreciate the question and thanks for watching the video!

[@angelica3744]

Kohlberg's model is way too simplistic and assumes that moral decisions fall neatly into one of these categories. I would not steal the medicine, not because I think it's always wrong to steal, but simply because I take into consideration how difficult this particular crime would be to get away with. I would likely go to prison for a long time and leave my dying wife to fend for herself, making a bad situation worse. If there was a guarantee that I'd be able to get away with it, I would do it since big pharmaceutical companies could afford the loss. The reasoning behind this ethical decision doesn't fall squarely into one of Kohlberg's categories.

[@LearnMyTest]

Respectfully, I disagree. Your decision not to steal because you would go to prison (that's to avoid a negative consequence) which is a state 1. Saying if I would get away with it - further justifies the stage 1 response and focus on consequences of the action. Hope this makes sense.

Hi, your retelling of Heniz's Dilemma is flawed. Nice video apart from that. "In Europe, a woman was near death from cancer. One drug might save her, a form of radium that a druggist in the same town had recently discovered. The druggist was charging $2,000, ten times what the drug cost him to make. The sick woman’s husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money, but he could only get together about half of what it cost. He told the druggist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist said, “No.” The husband got desperate and broke into the man’s store to steal the drug for his wife. Should the husband have done that? Why? " The extra information about how Heniz managed to gather half and the pharmacist still declined, even though he would still make a profit, adds to the overall dilemma. This is because stealing the medicine can be justified as the pharmacist shows a lack of empathy which puts Heinz in a position where he could of saved his wife if the pharmacist wasn't greedy, and now has to steal.
