The Kohlberg video was quite interesting. Each participant (children and adults) viewed the behavior of the man as inappropriate, however what was interesting was what they expressed regarding his actions. Both of the youth felt the behavior was wrong and that the man should find a way to make money and return the meds. They had very straight forward reactions of right and wrong, without looking at the why or why-nots.
On the other hand the adults, had life experience that seemed to give reason to their responses.
The male adult participant was very matter of fact about the fact that the example male needed to find another resource and there was never an excuse for the course of action that he selected.
The 1st female participant was torn she believed that everything about the situation was wrong. The fact that he would steal for meds and the fact that he was put under the circumstances in the first place. However, she also believed that if he had exhausted all resources his actions were somewhat justified to save his wife's life.
Finally the 2nd female participant was somewhat a combination package. The behavior of the example participant was wrong and he should seek additional resources, however if all else fails then use force (ex: go the emergency room where treatment is forced).
Therefore, what I observed out of this clip is that very early on we are taught right and wrong and we tend to go by those taught behaviors on morals. However, as we develop, outside forces come into play which tend to alter how we justify our actions/decisions regarding right and wrong.

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.
