·      Uphold laws and rules to gain social approval. (Seeking approval of important orders).   Or Laws are upheld to maintain social order.(Belief in Law & Order)

C) Postconventional Morality

                       1.___Stealing is wrong period. We are obligated to obey laws if we want to live in a civilized world.     
          2.___Stealing from family is not so bad. What are they going to do, lock you up?
                                3.___ I once stole something from a store to impress my friends.
                               4.___Why shouldn’t people steal from stores? They rip people off with their high prices.

  1. ___I don’t think stealing is right, but in certain emergencies, or life and death situations, I might
      steal something.

  1. ___ I’m not going to skip class because I might get a detention and won’t be able to play in the   
      game.

  1. ___ I’ve had near perfect attendance for four years. I’ll skip class because my friend is 
                  having some problems and needs someone to talk to. Sorry, but people matter more than     
                  rules.

     8.___Skip class? No problem. I’m hungry. Besides, it’s only wrong if you get caught.

     9.___Skip class? I don’t think so. I’d lose my teachers and coaches’ respect.

   10.___ Sometimes students just need to miss school; work, stress, or just need a day off.  It’s just  
                different than it used to be.
