O.K. I guess I'll start..I think. I'm gonna first respond to the video about Kohlberg's moral dilemma. I noted that she asked the question to each "Stage" individual in Kohlberg's Model of Moral Development. Each person answered the question in which I believe Kohlberg would expect (for the most part). Interestingly enough, the question that the interveiwer asked was only a very watered down version of the real question asked by Kohlberg. In his original hypothetical question, there was quite a bit more to it, which would cause maybe a few different answers. I'll spare you all the real question but I'll note it if you want to look at it in full text (Griffin Em. 1991). If one were to be looking for a "correct" answer to the moral dilemma that was presented, I don't think there is one. On the other hand, I don't think there is a wrong one either, and I don't think Kohlberg even believes there is a right or wrong answer. I believe he posed this question and others like it to simply prove his MMD Theory and how each individual would view the dilemma. Especially when talking about each individual stage. I believe Kohlberg would, generally, also argue that gender would play a role on how people would answer the question. Being that females tend to look for ways of resolving dilemmas where no one, the husband, the wife, or the druggist will experience pain. And males tend to respond decisively. So, if you're looking for an answer from me I'll just confirm Kohlberg's Theory and say that the husband named Heinz (who's name wasn't given in the video)is morally justified to steal the medicine. I would do the same. I would willingly and knowlingly know that I would have to pay the consequences for doing such a deed, but it would be worth the penalty to save a life. I have so much more to say, but I'll cut it there.

This is Smitty by the way..Not too sure how these blogging things work, so bear with me if I'm doing something wrong.
If anyone wishes to start Exit Ticket #1, feel free. I just needed to get started and thought I could get a better start on #2. I'm probably going to proceed to Exit Ticket Question #3 in about a half hour.
Final Exit Ticket
Congratulations! You have completed your course on Affective Education. How quickly the time has passed. Each week there was something new to read, process, analyze and evaluate. Believe it or not, I was learning right along with you. How could I not? Considering that many of you provided such rich professional insight. I am a firm believer that it is always good to look at material, theories, and educational frameworks from different perspectives. For that, I thank you. Nonetheless, every course has its highlights; those moments whereby things simply stand-out and make a lot of sense, which leads to our final exit ticket. Please answer the following questions, what was the “ah ha moment for you”? And as a result, what new knowledge have you constructed through our eight week dialogue on Affective Education that strengthened your confidence about teaching moral education?
Albert Bandura
Bobo Doll Experiment
Video Link to the Bobo Doll Experiment
Review the video depicting Albert Bandura's Bobo Doll Experiment, which looks at aggression, observational and imitative learning. Share your opinion on how or why this experiment fits (or does not fit) into a discussion about affective education. Be sure to support your opinion. This counts as exit tickets for weeks 5 & 6. I look forward to reading your posts.

The Stages of Moral Development
It has been noted that the Domain Theory was established in an attempt to "categorize behaviors into either a moral or social domain"(Freday, 2009), however prior classification systems, such as Kohlberg's theory of moral development, placed morality and social convention in the same developmental domain. Domain theory separates the two and goes on to highlight the differences in a child's development of each (Freday, 2009, para. 2). Do you agree or disagree? Post your views.
