Describe how Carol Gilligan’s perspective on moral development is different from Kohlberg’s theory of moral development.

Answer:

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information: Gilligan felt that women went through the same three stages of development developed by Kohlberg, but that women reasoned differently than men on moral issues due to having different perspectives on moral issues. She claimed that women base their moral reasoning on issues concerning social relationships while men base their moral reasoning on societal law and order.
