Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Kohlberg's fifth stage of moral reasoning, individuals have developed a sense of social contract and understand that rules are important for maintaining the greater good. However, they also recognize that these rules can be changed if they are not serving that greater good. Thus, if Glen is given the opportunity to cheat on a test, he may cheat depending on the circumstances. It is not guaranteed that he will cheat, as it will depend on his personal ethical judgment in that specific situation.
