What kind of decision would be made at the different stages of Kolbergs theory regarding whether or not to return money given to you by mistake?

Stage 1 -- all they think about is whether they'll get
punished.  So your return only if you'll get in trouble for keeping
it.


Stage 2 -- is governed by the Golden Rule.  A kid at
this stage might give the money back because that is what is fair and what they would
want someone else to do to them.


Stage 3 -- they are most
concerned with what their in group thinks.  So they'll give it back if their in group
would want them to.


Stage 4 -- you'd give it back because
that's what the rules say to do.


Stage 5 -- you'd give it
back because that's what society would want you to
do.


Stage 6 -- you'd have to decide what's just in the
given case -- what would be most likely to conform to some universal truth.  So you'd
probably give it back unless there were some reason that keeping it was more in line
with universal truths.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
