It was clear to me that the prefered choice was always the last one which seemed to make a yes or no decision followed by a statement that could have passed for a moral lesson. The final response always seemed to favor human-rights and social-welfare as opposed to primarily focusing in on obedience, self, conformity, or law.

The way the responses are worded may have an effect on how a person might answer. I thought that they were worded quite well by giving valid justification for each choice. You start off with the first response and it sounds logical but yet you feel that there is more to the issue. As I read the responses, I could always relate as to why someone might make that choice but when you read the last response, you can't help but choose it because it has a solid moral lesson. Wether people would respond this way in a real situation is different but I think people are always inclined to think that they would make the best ethical choice. Of course moral choice is a matter of oppinion though.

It was very clear that a 10 year old would probably choose one of the first two answers. As I read them, I could actually hear little voices of the kids I work with saying things like, "I would't spend time in jail for a girl!"Kids tend to make decisions based on , "how will this affect ME?" "what will happen to ME?" A 10 year old may be in the beginning stages of conformity as well, worrying about how he/she will be perceived by others and therefore choose answer #3.
