Physical development: Physically, Dayluis’ development has lost momentum compared to his earlier stages such as infancy where he achieved big milestones such as walking and running and adolescence where he had a dramatic growth spurt. Nevertheless, he is getting better at physical activities as is evident by the fact that he made his high school baseball team and became one of the best players on it throughout this period. During this age Dayluis also worries about his physical appearance a lot more and always wants to look his best. This makes sense since he is beginning to acquire an attraction for girls his age. By this time, he is sexually mature and it’s common that he starts exploring his sexuality with men’s magazines and porn videos. When I found these things in Dayluis’ possession I …show more content…
He expanded his horizon of interests by joining multiple clubs with his new friends, as we have learned the friends made in high school are more selective than those made in middle school and tend to share lots of things in common which makes the friendships last longer. Furthermore, Dayluis is on pace in social development at age 14. According to Kholber’s stages of moral development he is in level 2 stage 3 in which the individual thinks they should be punished for ruining interpersonal relationships with others. This explains why after being caught shoplifting with his friend, Dayluis attributed the fairness of the punishment to the fact that he had disappointed his parents and teachers instead of to the fact that he had done something illegal. Another common social characteristic Dayluis showed was having similar political and religious views as me. This shows how nature plays an important role in the formation of the moral views of

    Having emotions is an attribute that is commonly given to humans since humans are social animals, living in large packs and interacting with one another on a daily basis. By not being able to interact with people with normal social skills, a person will not be able to effect change in the world and aid those whom they might attempt to aid. When one thinks of a moral person, one tends to think of famously talented figures that perform moral actions, although they acquired those talents before they lead their lives into deep morality. Furthermore, according to Wolf, “there seems to be a limit to how much morality we can stand”. Morality is a characteristic that not just encompasses one aspect of life, such as an Olympic swimmer who believes that their activity is good enough for…

    Moral development, based on Kohlberg’s theory, states that children undergo levels and stages of morals through the years of growing up; mainly in childhood. The theory says that they’re three levels — pre-conventional, conventional, and postconventional morality. Within those three levels, they’re two stages in each level: thus, having six stages in total. The stages themselves describe a child's behavior and their thinking. But, not every child goes through the same levels and stages at the same time —each one is different — neither go through them in order nor all the stages side by side.…

    The interesting aspect of morality is how universally unbiased it is supposed to be, but yet, is still met with a debate towards what is morally correct and morally wrong. While morality is supposed to be objective, there is a subjectivity to whom those morals apply to and to whom they benefit or harm. In Chelsea Schein and Kurt Gray’s "The Theory of Dyadic Morality: Reinventing Moral Judgment by Redefining Harm,” they discussed the evolution of morality and how difficult it is to establish a clear answer on what morality is. Schein and Gray wrote, “[one] definition of moral judgment is ‘evaluations (good vs. bad) of the actions or character of a person that are made with respect to a set of virtues held to be obligatory by a culture or subculture’ (Haidt, 2001, p. 817)” (Schein and Gray 35).…

    Where the beginning of Morality came from has been a huge debate among people for hundreds of years now. Morality can also be called the goodness in people or the desire to be good. Theists believe morality comes from God. Atheists believe that morality comes from our own conscience or reason. In this essay we are going to focus on proving that morality could not have come from God in view of the following reasons, 1: You can be good without God, 2: The Bible is not a clear guide for direction on morality, 3: There are many things that religious people do not agree with, and 4: The problem of evil.…

    People learn things from other people, especially if a person starts to learn bad behavior when they were very young. Some people grow up with bad influences or within a bad environment around them, and these could turn the people into criminals or killers if they see that bad behavior is acceptable or has no consequences. This was the case with the main character in the movie Monster and two sociological theories, both have rational choice theory and differential association theory, strengths and weaknesses in how they explain the main character in the movie. The movie Monster (2003) is about a female serial killer named Aileen Wuornos, who is a prostitute, a hitchhiker and has hopes of being famous, a big star, rich and more valuable…

    Unfortunately, just as all moral intuitions must require emotions, all emotions must require an evolutionary past. Consider again the proposition that the death of a person is a bad thing. I have already shown that this elicits an intuition that is necessarily–at least to some degree–emotional. But where does that emotion come from? While it is much easier to trace the evolutionary history of stronger emotions such as fear and disgust, even weaker emotions like compassion have their primeval origins.…
