Example of Kohlberg application:
Summary first and then…
I think Sherlock Holmes of Sherlock is in Kohlberg’s second stage, because even though he solves crimes and saves lives he does it to benefit his own needs and his own curiosity. He continually does what is best for him without regard for those around him. He does attempt to protect Watson but I also think his motivation is to benefit himself in some way, since he seems to need Watson to continue his work. He is self-motivated which is characteristic of a stage two person. Etc.
