On the topic of morality…
I recently read a articale in an old Scientific American (Magazine). It was about a group of researchers that followed a group of boys growing up. They gave them various tests and things like that about how they would deal with situations and why they did what they did. what they found-
the reserchers think there are six levels of morality:
-I didn’t do it beacause-
1. I don’t want to get the punishment
2. I want to get the reward
3. I want people to like me
4. It is agansit the law
5. I have a social contract (or somthing like that)
6. Its just wrong!
the first group is mainly ages 0-10
the second is teenagers (kinda figers)
the third is 20+
only a little percentage reached the 5th level and no one reached the 6th
thats all, just somthing interesting I read
