Question

• Why is an understanding of child mortality essential to describing advancements in health care outcomes?

Answer 1

Morality is defined as the principles concerning the distinction between right and wrong or good and bad behavior Children adopt moral values through socializing with others (peers and parents). Children are less able to justify moral actions because of cognitive limitations.

• Piaget and Kolberg say kids can develop their own moral reasoning through different stages
• Skinner believes in moral conditioning
• Bandura believes that morality is learned through social learning/observation
• Stages are a good guide to when children develop morality

Religion does not affect the child's morality; the community based around religion has a bigger impact on children's developing morality. The dangers in watching aggressive reality TV shows is due to the adoption of the aggressive and negative character traits of the characters on the shows during development during childhood.

Paul Blooms believes that :

1. Infants are born with a biological moral foundation that allows them to determine right from wrong at a young age

2. the culture and society that they grow up in is also going to have a large impact on their developing morality

When caring for children with aggressive behavior their health care outcomes are less when compare with a child with good morality.

Thus we can say that an understanding of child morality is essential to describing advancements in health care outcomes.

When caring for a child with negative moral values, with the adequate measurements we have to try them to change to a child with good moral values, thus can improve the outcomes in every field including health.
