Which is worse, stealing like Karl or cheating like Bob? 1a. Why is that worse?

Moral development involves the formation of a system of values on which to base decisions concerning “right” and “wrong, ” or “good” and “bad.” Values are underlying assumptions about standards that govern moral decisions.

Morality has been a topic of discussion since the beginning of human civilization. We’ve reviewed the work of Piaget and Kohlberg and will review Gilligan’s contribution on this topic tomorrow in class. As a woman, Gilligan’s work resonates with me. Her proposed stages of moral development followed Kohlberg’s, but she was sharply critical of his view that mostly men reach the level of moral reasoning. Gilligan believed that Kohlberg’s theory was biased in favor of men.

We also discussed Piaget and Kohlberg’s research using moral dilemmas with children. The point of the dilemmas was not to judge the children on the decision they made; they were more interested in the REASON behind their decision. This work helped both Piaget and Kohlberg to develop their theory of moral development. Below you will find two moral dilemmas. Read each dilemma and follow the ‘what would you do’ prompt. Also, thoroughly explain WHY you would make the choice you made.

Dilemma #1:

Two young men, brothers, had got into serious trouble. They were secretly leaving town in a hurry and needed money. Karl, the older one, broke into a store and stole a thousand dollars. Bob, the younger one, went to a retired old man who was known to help people in town. He told the man that he was very sick and that he needed a thousand dollars to pay for an operation. Bob asked the old man to lend him the money and promised that he would pay him back when he recovered. Really Bob wasn’t sick at all, and he had no intention of paying the man back. Although the old man didn’t know Bob very well, he lent him the money. So Bob and Karl skipped town, each with a thousand dollars.

Answer EACH of the following questions:

  1. Which is worse, stealing like Karl or cheating like Bob? 1a. Why is that worse?
  2. What do you think is the worst thing about cheating the old man?
  3. In general, why should a promise be kept?
  4. Is it important to keep a promise to someone you don’t know well or will never see again?
  5. Should people do everything they can to obey the law? 7a. Why or why not?
  6. Was the old man being irresponsible by lending Bob the money? Why or why not?

Why do you think you value these things? What parts of your past experiences or upbringing has lead you to value these 2 or 3 concepts most?

/in /by

Go through the list of values on the next page, circle all the ones that stick out to you. If you feel a concept is missing, write it in then circle it. Circle at least 10 words.

Now, narrow down those 10+ concepts to 5 top values.

Now, narrow down to 3 top values. Could you narrow down to two?

In the Values Discussion forum, discuss what your top 2 or 3 values ended up being:

  1. Why do you think you value these things? What parts of your past experiences or upbringing has lead you to value these 2 or 3 concepts most?
  2. Would your top 2 or 3 values be different if you did this activity last year? How? Why?
  3. In what ways do you see these values manifest in your daily life? What actions do you take that express these values? How do you allocate your time or energy in a way that prioritizes these things?

What/Who has shaped you and your values?   Have there been any specific events that has changed your thinking?

How are patterns of psychological abnormality classified?

/in /by

Question 2: How we categorize and why
How are patterns of psychological abnormality classified? Include a discussion of the development of the DSM system and the PTM Framework as two ways to look at what it means to understand psychological abnormalities and then form standards of assessment by conducting clinical assessment and then building a treatment plan based on that assessment.
(In the second essay, I’m asking you to compare as well as contrast the two approaches (the DSM and the PTM) as a way to build a treatment plan, but I don’t want you to actually write a treatment plan. This assignment is about which approach is better suited to planning for and working with someone who is seeking help with how to cope with their overwhelming feelings, thoughts and / or behaviors that interfere with living their lives.
The DSM has been in existence since 1952 and has a mixed relationship with the use of scientific tools. It was first organized as a theoretical manual based on Freudian psychology for editions 1 & 2. Then, in 1980, it moved to an empirical foundation for edition 3 and stayed with that approach for 33 years, til the publication of DSM 5. Then it returned to be a theoretical manual based this tie to the medical model (even though 33 years of data failed to support any of the 3 main hypotheses this model offers to explain psychological abnormalities).
The PTM model reflects what most clinical therapy schools have been teaching about how to approach building an understanding of the problems that are the focus for psychotherapy. It was first introduced in 2014 and has some direct scientific support for its claims as well as decades of indirect support based on the research various clinical approaches have generated over the years.)
This answer should be a minimum of 600 words in length.
****Please be sure to provide in-text citations for your sources. You are not required to provide a reference list at the end of the question.
