Based on the information provided and the choices you made, here is a step-by-step evaluation and feedback for each question:
1. According to Gilligan, which of the following best describes male thinking?
You selected answer option C, which states that males adopt a relational view of abstract issues with specific details. This is not correct. Gilligan's research actually suggests that males adopt an abstract way of thinking that strips away details, as described in answer option B.
2. Which of the following best describes a typical female response to the Heinz question?
You selected answer option B, which states that the Heinz dilemma cannot be answered in the confines of the question. This is also not correct. A typical female response to the Heinz question, as per Gilligan's research, is characterized by the consideration of interpersonal relationships and the importance of empathy and care. Therefore, answer option A, which states that the Heinz dilemma can be solved by forceful action, is the correct answer.
3. According to Kohlberg, the ability to think of ethical situations in the abstract is best evidenced by which of the following?
You selected answer option C, which states that females are capable of achieving abstract ethical thinking. This is correct. Kohlberg's theory of moral development suggests that both males and females can reach higher stages of moral reasoning, which involve abstract ethical thinking. However, it is important to note that higher education or military service are not necessary indicators for achieving abstract ethical thinking, as stated in answer options B and D.
In summary, for the three questions:
1. The correct answer is B.
2. The correct answer is A.
3. The correct answer is C.
To determine if your answers are correct or not, let's review each question and the options provided:
1. According to Gilligan, which of the following best describes male thinking?
- a. Males adopt a personal way of relating to moral issues.
- b. Males adopt an abstract way of relating that strips away details.
- c. Males adopt a relational view of abstract issues with specific details.
- d. None of the above.
You selected option C, which states that males adopt a relational view of abstract issues with specific details. To verify if this is correct, you need to refer to Gilligan's work. To find the answer, go back to the original source of information, such as a textbook, article, or lecture notes that discuss Gilligan's perspectives on male thinking.
2. Which of the following best describes a typical female response to the Heinz question?
- a. The Heinz dilemma can be solved by forceful action.
- b. The Heinz dilemma cannot be answered in the confines of the question.
- c. The Heinz dilemma requires intervention by appropriate authorities.
- d. None of the above.
You selected option B, which states that the Heinz dilemma cannot be answered in the confines of the question. To determine if this is the correct answer, you need to understand the context of the Heinz question and how it relates to typical female responses. To confirm the accuracy of your answer, consult the relevant literature or educational resources that discuss female perspectives on the Heinz question.
3. According to Kohlberg, the ability to think of ethical situations in the abstract is best evidenced by which of the following:
- a. Males are best suited to this.
- b. Males and females with higher education are best suited to this.
- c. Females are capable of achieving abstract ethical thinking.
- d. Males and females with military service are best suited to this.
You selected option C, which states that females are capable of achieving abstract ethical thinking. To confirm if your answer is correct, you should go back to Kohlberg's work and review his perspectives on abstract ethical thinking. Research the specific theories, experiments, and findings by Kohlberg that address the role of gender in abstract ethical thinking.
In summary, to verify if your answers are correct or not, you need to refer back to the original sources of information (Gilligan's work and Kohlberg's work) to understand their perspectives and findings. By examining the relevant literature, textbooks, articles, or lecture notes, you can determine and validate the accuracy of your answers to the questions.
