Describe the 'interpersonal harmony' and 'law and order' stages in Level II: Conventional Ethics.

1. In the interpersonal harmony stage, ethical decisions are based on concern for or the opinion of others. What pleases, helps, or is approved of by others characterised this stage. People make decisions based on loyalty, living up to the expectations of others, and social conventions. For example, a teenager on a date who believes she should meet a curfew because she doesn't want to worry her parents is at this stage. 2. In the law and order stage, it involves the ethics of laws, rules, and social order. Rules and laws are seen as inflexible and are obeyed for their own sake. People believe that laws and rules exist to guide behaviour and create an orderly world, and they should be followed uniformly. For example, a person in Stage 4 would argue that we should not cheat in exams because "It's against the rules to cheat," or "What kind of world would we live in if people thought cheating was okay?"
