AVirtue
BJustice
CLoyalty
DObedience
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Justice
1. A morality of justice is about rights, fairness, impartiality and equality.
2. Kohlberg's six stages trace how ideas of justice develop.
3. Gilligan's later morality of care was offered as the missing other half.
**Why not the others:** Care, Gilligan's focus, is what critics say his justice model leaves out; obedience is only the theme of his lowest stage.
