Morality is the distinction as either proper or improper, of a person's decisions, intentions, and actions. It is the code of conduct that governs the people's behavior of a particular culture, state or even country. Moral development is the ultimate focus on the emergence, transition, and perception of these codes of conduct from infancy through adulthood. Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of development assumes that an individual's moral evolution is a sequential process that occurs in six stages.
