Explanation:

Lawerence Kohlberg was an American psychologist and cognitive theorist who studied how the development of moral reasoning in children and adults by presenting them a series of moral dilemmas. Kohlberg's theory aims to understand how children develop morality and moral reasoning. His work is influential and contemporary research has generally supported Kohlberg's theory of moral development. Kohlberg indicated three levels of moral reasoning: pre-conventional, conventional, and post-conventional, where each level has two distinct stages. In this regard, it should be noted that Kohlberg's stages are of moral thinking (not moral action)​. At the pre-conventional level, the sense of morality is controlled and children accept rules made by their teachers and parents. Moreover, at the conventional level, an individual’s sense of morality is connected to his/her personal and societal relationships. Finally, at the conventional level, a person's sense of morality can be defined in more abstract principles (people now recognize individuals as separate entities from society).
