Broadly considered, it is the development of an increasing ability to understand social reality and to integrate social experience so that distinctions can be made between what is right and what is wrong in order to make responsible decisions and to act on them. It also involves a concern for others, the desire to do right, and the ability to reflect on the consequences of one‚was actions. A matter of some controversy is whether the ability to reason logically is a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for morality to develop fully.
