Significant discoveries are a slow realisation process that change the way we perceive ourselves and our relationships. Initially in the short story “Big World” the adolescent narrator is hoping to discover excitement, girls and escape from his boring life.

Moral Dilemmas and Moral Reasoning The incorporation of morals, beliefs when faced with dilemmas have a profound effect on the decision made and judgments of an individual. Moral development is greatly influenced by preconceived judgments, gathered mainly through cultural experiences.

Scenarios of moral dilemmas were presented and participants were later interviewed to determine their reasoning behind their judgments (Cherrie, 2012). Kohlberg was concerned more with reasoning for each participant’s decision rather than their answer (Cherrie, 2012).
