Moral Development and Moral Education

Piaget, Kohlberg, and Beyond

  • Chapter
Knowledge and Development

Fresh scandals break with such numbing regularity that the list grows almost too long to remember: Watergate, international sabotage by the CIA, domestic spying by the FBI, assorted corruption in Congress, routine bribery in big business, widespread fraud in Medicare, another rash of cheating at a military academy, reports of premed students destroying each other’s lab work, and steady increases in almost every category of crime.
