Discuss the differences between Carol Gilligan's "morality of care" and "morality of justice" theories as they relate to each gender. Do other researchers agree with Gilligan's gender differences in moral thinking?
What will be an ideal response?
According to Carol Gilligan the two sexes think differently about parenthood,
abortion, and so on. Girls are raised to develop a "morality of care," giving human
needs and relationships the highest priority. In contrast, boys develop a "morality of
justice"; they are taught to distinguish right from wrong. Other researchers do not
find gender differences in moral thinking. Factors such as education, specific
dilemmas, and culture correlate more strongly than gender with whether a person's
moral judgments emphasize relationships or absolutes.
