Stages of Morality

1. Obedience: Scout and Jem go together on this one. They have Atticus as their leader. He will always tell them what is correct or incorrect. They act him about things that they do not know. Jem is starting to mature and will soon have the wisdom to learn what is right. Jem will start to teach Scout about the proper law and rules. Both of them already know a lot because Atticus is a lawyer and deals with many things. Atticus said to Jem and Scout, "If I don't do what is right, how could I teach you".

6. Universal Ethics: Atticus is a great example of universal ethics. He has to defend Tom Robinson even though he is an minority and people do not like him because of his race. He is teaching everyone in the town a great lesson by doing this. He is showing that you will always have to do what is correct and moral even if you prefer not to. Sometimes you will have to step up to the plate and battle the hardest thing you will encounter if your life. People are making fun of Atticus, even Jem and Scouts friends. Yet he continues to lead a great example for Jem and Scout.
