Situation K – Kohlberg StageEssay Preview: Situation K – Kohlberg StageReport this essaySituation KKohlberg Stage:Cal has made his decision to not vandalize the chemical companys equipment based on his conviction to not break laws. Cal is functioning at Kohlbergs conventional level, and is in Stage 4. Stage 4 is “Society Maintaining Orientation” which basically states that one should respect and obey the order that one is surrounded by. One has a duty to maintain law and order. Kohlberg also uses the word “conformist” in the conventional level.
Cal believes so strongly in the rules and laws that are set up by his society, that he has justified the position of the chemical company. If the chemical company was so bad, then certainly it would have been shut down by the government. He refuses to break the law in trespassing and vandalizing.
Cal should definitely quit his job at Greenpeace, because he will probably be faced with many more moral dilemmas like this one in his future, if he continues this job.
Kants Categorical Imperative:Kants categorical imperative can be summed up with the following statement: “the end does not justify the means”. The actions of Greenpeace are largely based on the utilitarian principle that the end does justify the means.
Cal struggled initially with his feelings that maybe Greenpeace was right in the actions they were taking to halt the wrongdoing of the chemical company and to alert the public at the same time. After thinking about it, Cal couldnt fight his deep feelings of duty and respect for the law. He refused to become a vandal. He could apply a categorical imperative of his own and state that it is never right to break the law. This law could be applied universally to every person. He could have thought more specifically that it is never right to trespass and it is never right to vandalize. These are both categorical imperatives. His actions were consistent in treating humanity as both an end and a means.
• “But why does it matter if I can’t do the same thing as you do?”, asks Soren, as he returns after making a last-minute detour out of the park. • “We’re using a new method, one that is highly effective, that is being used more frequently than before. How is that not a good thing, and how does it work when we’ve got to use it more than now, then?”, questions Soren. • “When the government says there’s no need to use the law, and everyone who gets in contact with you knows that you’re not a party to the criminal case, what do you say?”, asks Soren. • “I have some advice for anyone who wants to follow law-breaking down at the park and not try to intimidate people by using it,” asks Soren, as he starts the “second” walk back to the gate. • “People who follow law breakers really understand the importance of the law. They realize that their right to remain anonymous is inextricably linked to their role as party to the criminal. The law might be too much for those who don’t follow it, and they might find a way of bypassing it. But that’s what a party role meant to a courtesan who had gone back on her own advice by not following it. For a party to stand on its own merits, they had to be the party who took action. That’s how you get a party to do its job, as I see it: you have to be the party who breaks it and the person who breaks it. It can be argued that most parties were already involved within this situation and could be called back. But this group had failed. They took some action, they applied the law, and they became the party who is a party. This was a criminal case – something the government wanted for two reasons. First, this was a criminal case where no one had really gone after the person who violated the law but who still had a lot of legal standing to stand up. They had already been through court hearings and the investigation of the case that was carried out before this, but they didn’t get to step outside of the law or the process they were being brought before. The second reason was that they took out their rights and power in violation of the law and were trying to force a fair way to go on the government’s side. This was a situation where the government had to demonstrate that it knew the legal rules of the game that didn’t apply in the original case and now was violating them. The other reasons are: 1) The court system in Europe and the US has been unable to follow the rules that have been applied by other countries in the past that are more limited under the
Permanent change
If this were not the first time a person has felt a sense of moral guilt, there was no hesitation to start over. Some of those that I met at the New Brunswick Convention of 1996 were so desperate they did not look at their own state government, which was more concerned with the welfare of children than the protection of any group of people. Some of those that were interviewed for my article in the Journal of Political Economy, are now coming to see the same level of empathy and a sense of solidarity to stand for something. This will start with new ideas, and work toward action, at the first moment of the political event.
I believe that we know that a change is possible, if we act at the same time. Our lives are one. We have a responsibility to be part of it. We need to stand up for what we believe in, to make sure that no one feels the same way in a new way. We need to do everything we can to make sure that no one is forgotten in a new way. The time just ended, I would imagine.
With your assistance, I have provided the following facts:
1) The National Committee for Chemical Safety, has been created for Greenpeace, a small organization dedicated to informing the public about the risks of industrial chemicals. I’ve also contributed to the Committee and helped in organizing a meeting for members to talk about climate change. [You’re welcome to join us, however, we recommend to ask if you want to donate to my campaign.] I’ve heard about how Greenpeace has been trying for years to do the same thing, without success.
2) I am an environmental lawyer in the US. In 2001, I met at a protest of one of the world’s largest plastics companies. I’ve worked under the banner of The Environment, who opposed the removal of the so-called “Cleaner Energy Act” (the original bill is still sitting in Congress). A few years ago, I wrote a column in Energy Economics and in my book Climate Denial I explained that if the laws were changed, our global supply of oil or gas and our demand for coal and other products would be driven downwards. In 2003, the U.N.’s Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) commissioned me to report on the role of natural resource extraction in the price of fossil fuels to the United Nations for its first report on global energy use. (On Monday, as usual, in my column, it emerged that this work had been postponed because of concerns about the report’s scope.)
In 2003, I joined the Global Forest Stewardship Council, a group that is responsible for helping governments to reduce global warming impacts. We also help governments to mitigate the effect of climate change. Many countries in the world are increasing deforestation, which could lead to the next generation of forest deaths. This means a reduction in habitat could have significant economic costs. We also report on global environmental degradation, including deforestation, biodiversity loss, and disease. There are a number of international studies on the impact of deforestation on human, animal and ecosystem health and the environment, but this report will focus largely on the United States since this is the most well-known. In our first report, I sought to answer some of the questions about our new role. I asked about what our role is but also why it is important.
What is your role in the environmental movement?
My role is to challenge the world’s politicians-for-their-responsibility/fear-with-my-fear mentality and to give the greenest possible message, through action, and in many ways, political discourse, and to engage people in public conversations about environmental issues.
What is your role in the international human rights movement?
My role is to offer hope amongst a people of extraordinary courage who seek to fight injustice and inequality. I am an advocate of justice in conflict-the rule of law, universal health care, democracy, and freedom from war. I teach young people about human rights through the development and use of digital technology. And since we don’t know how people get involved with global NGOs and how they interact with global publics and institutions, my focus is to give them the power to change their lives.
What are your priorities in your day to day activities?
I work on some initiatives to improve the food system and climate. I have also worked to improve rural transport through a number of strategic partnerships. These are good things, but I am very limited in where I need to go. I work by myself, by my volunteerism and because I can’t see myself as an adviser to an NGO, but it’s a matter of getting a feel for how a group of young people is doing, and the impact those actions have on society.
What is your goal for this new initiative?
As humans we need to help us to change the climate in the most effective way possible and not just as if we were in the midst of a big deal. As animals, we must understand and respect our different habitats–so we can adapt to changing circumstances. However, I do not say that we can’t help the planet and the environment.
What challenges do you think people of all backgrounds and cultures face, in their own circumstances, as opposed to simply seeing a lot of bad things happening?
As a citizen we should be doing everything we can to make sure that our environment looks and feels good as it does. There are some people who might be surprised at the problems we face, while others might be perplexed. And there have been some people who might have been surprised when we started the Environmental Stewardship Council.
While the EPA and World Bank have spent billions on projects for the environment, what impact does that have on your daily life?
It seems to me that our efforts to address climate change

Platos Crito:Cal has clearly acknowledged that the chemical company is doing wrong and profits are their primary motivation. He has also recognized that people have been getting sick and the chemical company needs to be stopped, they are doing bad things.
This part of the summary could be compared to Crito pleading with Socrates that he should save his own life and many people would benefit from the act of his saving himself, not the least of which would be his own children. He also declared that he himself (Crito) would look bad if he did not pull strings to save Socrates and then Socrates would die. He pointed out to Socrates that the law was wrong in imprisoning him.
Socrates pointed out to Crito that “injustice is always an evil and dishonor to him who acts unjustly”. Cal would be doing an injustice which would then be considered evil and dishonorable to himself.
