Reaction Paper # 2
When I heard my classmates sharing their perspective about
the dilemma of Mr. Heinz, we have our different opinion and views. Others said “yes,
I would steal the drugs because I want to save my wife even if I’m put into
prison for giving her a chance to live”. But others said “no, I wouldn’t steal
the drug because I would be punished. The law says stealing is wrong, so it is
wrong.” If I connect this theory of Lawrence Kohlberg’s particular in moral
aspect, it would be based the experiences of children during their growth
period on how their parents explained the essence of truth and wrong. These
beliefs are planted in the mind of the children when they grow.
I realize that if I say yes, I would steal I’ll be punished
according to the law because I did not obey the law. If it is no, I wouldn’t
punish because I obey the law. If I connect it to Lawrence Kohlberg’s stage of
moral development which is punishment/obedience, the child learn of what is
wrong and right at the beginning of his/her development. I must be careful of
with my words & actions towards them.
If I will be
Mr. Heinz, if say yes, what would happen to me and my family? Different
scenario will follows, I put myself behind bars, my wife continuing her illness
because that is cancer, my children will traumatize because of the incidents,
other people judge me for what I am done and many more reaction after what
happen. It’s hard to be a good person to my family especially in times of
crisis.
it was so helpful, thank youuu.
