Answer:
d) Kohlberg did not account for cultural difference in moral reasoning of men and women
Explanation:
Lawrence Kohlberg was a psychologist who became famous for stages of moral development. However, his work was critiqued on the basis that it did not consider the cultural difference. The test subjects for his study were boys from a city in United States, therefore, the criticism is that his findings are biased towards other cultures such as the Western culture.
Morality and moral philosophies differ from according to culture as much as they do individually. Kohlberg's theory doesn't recognize the influence of individualistic and collective morality. Other critique states that the theory only acknowledges morality based on rules and justice but doesn't include compassion and care.
