The correct definition of meditation is to think
constantly of something. You become that on which
you meditate. Think of God, you become God. Think

everyone. Another point to emphasize is that, the

Integrating Care And Justice Moral Development

Part One: The criticisms of Kohlberg's moral
development stages seem to center around three
major points, his research methods, the
"regression" of stage four, and finally his goals.

criticized for not only his subject selection, but
also the methods by which he tries to extricate
data from those subjects. His initial study
consisted of school boys from a private
institution in Chicago. The proble...
