Education Theorists Kohlberg v Gilligan.

Lawrence Kohlberg’s research was grounded in Piagetian theory and he sought to discover how children and people develop moral reasoning. His theory is characterized by a sequence of six stages grouped into three levels of defined morality.
Carol Gilligan taught at Harvard University with Erik Erikson. She became a research assistant for Kohlberg in the 1970s and went on to write a dissertation on moral development that criticized Kohlberg for using only privileged, white males in his research. She developed the theory of the “morality of care” as opposed to Kohlberg’s male-oriented “morality of justice.”
Write a response after reading the theories Kohlberg and Gilligan offer.
Discuss your personal view on moral development and how you potentially contribute to someone’s moral development as a teacher, family member, mentor, etc.
Share 1 or 2 examples of how your view specifically relates to (supports or contradicts) Kohlberg and Gilligan’s theories.
