Answer to Question 1

Kohlberg was influenced by Jean Piaget's model of moral development. His stages included the following:
(1 ) the amoral stage: a child focuses on immediate gratification and has little or no concern for others and no sense of right and wrong, just personal needs to be satisfied;
(2 ) the preconventional stage: the child learns and follows rules but does so only to stay out of trouble, and the concern for what is right or wrong is to avoid punishment;
(3 ) the conventional stage: morality means following norms and values that have been learned;
(4 ) the postconventional stage: Kohlberg said that most people do not reach this stage, but those who do reflect on abstract principles of right and wrong and judge a behavior according to these principles.

Answer to Question 2

Secondary groups allow societies to get important things done, such as educating the masses, making a living, acquiring needed possessions, and engaging in leisure activities.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
