Answer 3 questions1.Stage 6 moral development requires looking at ethical problems empathically; that is, impartially and from the perspective of all parties concerned. In the following situation, consider what the relevant needs and interests are of the participants, giving equal attention to their various perspectives.
• A second-time convicted pedophile has just completed a mandatory fifteen-year term in prison. The ex-offender is now living in your local community. Some residents are outraged that this man resides in this family-oriented neighborhood. The leadership of your home owner’s association calls for a “special” meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss how the community should respond to the presence of a “pedophile roaming their streets.” At the meeting, some insist that the police should be contacted and that they should handle the situation; others suggest that any pedophile—even if “reformed”—is mentally unbalanced and, consequently, should be involuntarily hospitalized for psychiatric care; still others believe that the man should be completely shunned by all those who reside in the neighborhood because this will protect their children from the man.
