- Conventional stage: Children become aware of others' feelings, weighing right and wrong based on societal standards.
- Post-conventional stage: Individuals think abstractly about morality, recognizing the difference between legality and morality.
Cultural Importance of Socialization
- Socialization teaches culture to new members, essential for societal preservation.
- Culture must be transmitted to ensure continuity; failure to do so can lead to a society’s extinction.

- Through socialization, individuals learn culture, language, and social norms, contributing to self-awareness.
