7. c ( I am not so sure on this one but the book has a story in it about this boy and girl reading the newspaper and an article was about an old lady who was being evicted from her house because it was super filthy. The girl reading it got upset saying they couldn't do that to her but the boy stated she was breaking laws)

Let's go through each question step-by-step:
6. According to Kohlberg, a person's stage of moral development is determined by the:
a. Type of moral reasoning the person exhibits
Your answer is correct. According to Kohlberg's theory of moral development, a person's stage of moral development is determined by the type of moral reasoning they exhibit. Kohlberg identified six stages of moral development that individuals progress through.
7. In Gilligan's study, when females were compared to males on their views of Kohlberg's moral dilemmas, it was found that females:
c. Focus more on human relationships than on abstract principles
Your answer is correct. In Carol Gilligan's study, it was found that females tend to focus more on human relationships and interpersonal connections when confronted with moral dilemmas, whereas males tend to prioritize abstract principles and rules. This finding challenges some aspects of Kohlberg's theory, which was largely based on male participants.
