Discussion Post
For the first two sections of your discussion, make sure you've read the "moral development" section of Chapter 5: Growing Up.
In 1 to 2 paragraphs, contrast Freud's, Piaget's, Kohlberg's, and Gilligan's views of moral development. What gaps were there in each researcher's development of his/her theory?
Head to the library and search for more recent peer-reviewed research (within the last 5 years) in the area of moral development. I suggest using the following (or similar) search terms: psychology; moral development; gender. Choose an article that interests you and summarize it for the class (don't forget to cite it at the end of your post). Who were there participants? What was their methodology? What did the study's authors discover about gender and moral development? Does this research resemble that of Freud, Piaget, Kohlberg, or Gilligan? In what ways? How is it different? This section should be no less than 2 paragraphs and please be sure to include key terms from your reading.
In your own words, thoroughly describe gender-based violence and discuss the impacts it has on both the victim and the community as a whole. Based on your reading (as well as any external resources), what can be done to reduce gender-based violence? This section should be a minimum of 1 - 2 paragraphs.
Finally, discuss the analysis done by Drs. Baumeister and Vohs regarding why people help others- make sure to include their discussion of gender and other individual differences. This section should be a minimum of 1 - 2 paragraphs.
In addition to posting your main entry, it is required that you respond to at least two of your classmates' entries. In 75 words or more, provide specific and constructive feedback that is directly related to their post. What additional thoughts do you have? Share them. When providing your feedback, present the logic behind it and, where appropriate, cite research to support your thoughts.
