Lawrence Kohlberg's six stages of moral development are these: Stage 1: Heteronomous morality. Children obey because adults tell them to. At this stage, moral thinking is tied to punishment. 
Stage 2: Individualism, instrumental purpose, and exchange. Moral thinking is based on rewards and self-interest. At this stage, individuals reason that pursuing their own interests is the right thing to do, but they let others do the same. 
Stage 3: Mutual interpersonal expectations, relationships, and interpersonal conformity. At this stage, individuals value trust, caring, and loyalty to others as a basis of moral judgments. 
Stage 4: Social systems morality. At this stage, moral judgments are based on understanding the social order, law, justice, and duty. 
Stage 5: Social contract or utility and individual rights. At this stage, individuals reason that values, rights, and principles undergird or transcend the law. 
Stage 6: Universal ethical principles. At this stage, the person has developed a moral standard based on universal human rights.
