At this stage they learn really rapidly. Children develop thinking skills, understanding what is going around them, numbers and language skills as they learn to read and write. They start to understand what is right and wrong (e.g. in snow white the stepmother is a bad person) and they start to develop a self-concept and the older they get they are able to carry out more logical activities. Moral behaviour is learning though being rewarded or seeing other people rewarded for being good. Children learn not to behave baldly if they being naughty results some sort of punishment.…

Children all over the world are growing up. It is just a fact of life; whether we like it or not. Infants are born every day, but how do they learn how to do the stuff we once learned growing up as an infant, toddler, child, teenager and even young adults? Moral Development, the process by which children learn how to act towards others and behave in society. It involves the gain in concepts such as manners, empathy, guilt, shame and understanding the difference between right and wrong. Like other forms of development, morality occurs in stages throughout childhood and adolescence, and is affected by factors in the child's environment. This can include the influence by friends, teachers, family members and cultural norms.…

Developmental theorists seek explanations to why some people deviate from social norms (laws), why some of those who develop anti-social behavior cease and others continue, why for some individuals crimes is progressive and why some people stop committing crimes as they age. Like in psychology, there is an element of nature versus nurture in examining the theories of moral development. In strict terms, biological theories can be compared to "nature" whereas the learning models are congruent to "nurture".…
The final stage of development is moral development. Moral development is how we make decisions based on what we know as right or wrong from the values we acquire from our families, friends, and experiences. As children develop they learn to achieve their needs and goals. Students want to do the right thing but can be concerned what their peers will think of their actions and decisions (Ormrod, 2012, p. 260). Karen shows this concern when worrying about what her classmates think about her while studying for French.…

Two major reasons exist for studying moral development during adolescence. First, cognitive changes that occur during adolescence are related to moral development. Formal operational thinking allows the adolescent to interpret the social environment in new and different ways.
