Kohlberg
Lawrence Kohlberg argued that individuals of all cultures go through the same stages of moral development in the same order, with his theory of moral development consisting of six stages that individuals progress through as they mature.
Piaget's fourth stage of development, the formal operational stage, is considered the most controversial because it is argued that not all individuals reach this stage or demonstrate formal operational thinking. Some critics believe that cognitive development is more continuous rather than occurring in distinct stages as proposed by Piaget. Additionally, the tasks used to assess formal operational thinking may not be universally applicable across all cultures.
Bruner's theory of cognitive development emphasizes the role of culture and language in shaping cognitive growth. He argued that children learn through interacting with their environment and through social interactions with others. Bruner also emphasized the importance of scaffolding, where adults provide support to help children learn and develop new skills.
Albert Bandura's social learning theory argues that individuals learn aggressive behavior by observing and imitating others, especially those they view as role models or authority figures. Bandura's research highlighted the importance of observational learning and reinforcement in the development of aggressive behaviors.
Freud believed that the psychosexual stages in childhood shaped a person's personality by influencing the way they interacted with the world. He argued that unresolved conflicts during these stages could lead to fixation and impact adult behavior and personality traits. Freud saw the stages as crucial in understanding emotional development and how individuals form their sense of self.
Freud believed that individuals experience internal conflicts between their desires (id) and societal expectations (superego). He argued that this conflict is a natural part of human development and that individuals must find a balance between fulfilling their own desires and conforming to societal norms. Freud believed that resolving this conflict is essential for psychological health.

Max Weber argued that the Protestant Ethic, particularly Calvinism, emphasized hard work, self-discipline, and asceticism. These values led individuals to accumulate wealth through diligence and frugality, which in turn fueled the development of capitalism. Weber believed that the idea of predestination and the belief that success in this world was a sign of salvation motivated individuals to engage in economic activities and pursue capital accumulation.

Andrew Carnegie argued in "The Gospel of Wealth" that rich individuals have a moral obligation to use their wealth to benefit society through philanthropic initiatives. He believed in distributing wealth for the greater good rather than leaving large inheritances to heirs. Carnegie emphasized the importance of giving back to help alleviate societal issues and promote progress.
John Locke argued that government holds its authority only with the consent of the people. He believed that individuals have natural rights that should be protected, and that government exists to secure these rights through the consent of the governed.
Mencius believed that human nature is inherently good, with the potential for growth and moral development. He argued that people are born with innate virtues such as compassion, righteousness, and a sense of right and wrong, and that these qualities can be cultivated through education and self-cultivation. Mencius emphasized the importance of nurturing these inherent qualities to become truly virtuous individuals.

Thomas Hobbes believed that individuals in a state of nature have no inherent rights and instead exist in a state of perpetual war. He argued that in order to protect individuals from this chaos, they must surrender some of their rights to a sovereign authority through a social contract, in exchange for security and protection.
