        ➡️ Conventional Level ( 3-4)

             - At Stage 3, Moral judgment is guided by conformity towards what society thinks is right or wrong.( Peer pressure)
         - At Stage 4, moral actions are based on following laws, rules and authority. One believes that it is important to abide by the rules in order to make peace.
