Human Behavior
• Human behavior is not random
• We are attempting to achieve something
• Beyond reflexes and instincts, we seem to be attending to: – Needs– Values

Motivation by Values
• The difference between “is” and “ought”: – Inner voice telling us what we ought to
do, even in the face of pressing needs– Consider the males on the Titanic –
what was their need? What did they feel they “ought” to do?

beliefs, and opinions that guide our understanding of what ought to be

Gilligan Challenge
• Boys and girls may follow different developmental paths in gaining value systems – two separate paths that lead to different highest values
• Highest Value:– Legalistic equality for males– Personal responsibility for females
![Page 12: Ethics chapter01](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052315/55493e98b4c905194d8b4f7f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Copyright ©2009 Delmar, Cengage Learning. All rights reserved.
Gilligan Challenge (continued)
• If different paths, should this lead to differing value models?– Males – a model based on equality and
justice– Females – a model based on caring
• Can one truly function without the other?

Massey’s Value Cohorts
• “You are what you are because of where you were when.”– Significant emotional events happen to
the society as a whole– People within a historical time frame are
shaped by the same significant events– Time frame cohorts share similar values
based on shared experiences
![Page 14: Ethics chapter01](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052315/55493e98b4c905194d8b4f7f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

• Traditionalists– Great Depression – World War II
• In-betweeners– Post World War II America – Cold War
• Challengers– Civil Rights movement – Vietnam
• Synthesizers – Fall of Communism – Globalization

Key Concepts
• Values-based motivation is more subjective than that based on needs
• Humans have an innate capacity to acquire ethical beliefs taught by our culture
• Jean Piaget, Lawrence Kohlberg, and Carol Gilligan are important value development theorists
![Page 18: Ethics chapter01](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052315/55493e98b4c905194d8b4f7f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Key Concepts (continued)
• The Kohlberg model provides for three general levels of value development: – Preconventional– Conventional– Postconventional
• Each of these general levels is divided into two stages
![Page 19: Ethics chapter01](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052315/55493e98b4c905194d8b4f7f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Copyright ©2009 Delmar, Cengage Learning. All rights reserved.
Key Concepts (continued)
• Kohlberg’s highest level for value development is when the individual makes a personal commitment to:– Universal principles of equal rights– Social justice– Respect for the basic dignity of all
people as individuals
![Page 20: Ethics chapter01](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052315/55493e98b4c905194d8b4f7f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Key Concepts (continued)
• Carol Gilligan:– Feminist value development
perspective, arguing that the Kohlberg model is biased toward young men
