Knowing about Kohlberg can help us understand people who reason morally differently than we do. For example, I was always confused by people who say that illegal immigration is bad because they broke the law. This made no sense to me, because to me, there are some laws that are morally bad to break and there are some laws that are just laws to be laws. Also, to me, it is obvious that government laws and religious laws were written by people and therefore can be changed. It is also obvious to me that the opinions of others do not have moral force. It is hard for me to understand how others reason without someone telling me about it.
