Moral Development

Question 6 • LHS-Psychology (1 cr.)

Which of the following statments does not represent the relationship between culture and one's moral reasoning?

Answer
A
Cultures generally differ in what behaviors are considered appropriate.
B
One's thought and beliefs are generally independent of cultural influences.
C
Many cultures value an individual's rights and well-being when establishing moral standards.
D
Many cultures consider situational influences when judging one's behavior as right or wrong.

Explanation

Culture can shape people’s thoughts, beliefs, and ideas about right and wrong, so saying these are generally independent of cultural influences does not describe the relationship. Cultures may differ in which behaviors they consider appropriate, and many take individual well-being and situational context into account when making moral judgments. The statement that beliefs are generally independent of culture is therefore the best answer.
