Stage 5 is called the social contract and is the ability to understand that rules, laws, and regulations are in place for the benefit of all. It is also at this stage that we can see that everyone has their own views, values ​​and beliefs (Kohlberg, 1984). The final stage of Kohlberg's theory is called universal ethical principles, in which decisions are made not simply by rules and laws, but by incorporating one's own beliefs and values ​​to achieve a moral outcome. This theory has been the subject of much criticism regarding cultural diversity and gender bias. First, studies conducted in different cultures have shown that levels of moral development are achieved at different rates in different cultures (Harkness, Edwards, & Super, 1981), this is due to different societal norms, beliefs, rituals, and practices that , in turn, affect how morality is respected. is development (Lapsley & Carlo, 2014). Another criticism concerns gender bias. Gilligan (1982) points out that Kohlberg's entire study was conducted on male participants, although the results generalized to all genders. This is very limiting and does not provide insight into moral development in women. Gilligan (1982) argues that men and women differ in their moral understanding and that Kohlberg's theory focuses morality on rules and justice.,
