Post conventional morality is when someone does something to help another individual despite the dangers attached or despite it's inconvenience. An example would be Oscar Shindler, who paid money out of his own pocket in order to hire and save the lives of 1100 Jewish people; he did this and maintained an ammunition factory that did not produce a single usable shell for the Nazis, which personally cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars. This extreme example shows a human who chose to save people, well beyond when it was convenient to him.

The postconventional stage is a phase in Lawrence Kohlberg's theory of moral development, typically reached in late adolescence or adulthood. At this stage, individuals move beyond societal norms and laws to develop their own ethical principles based on universal human rights and justice. They prioritize moral reasoning and personal conscience over strict adherence to rules, leading to decisions that may challenge existing laws or social conventions. This stage reflects a mature understanding of morality that emphasizes individual rights and the greater good.

Yes, Kohlberg's stage of moral development called postconventional is the highest level where individuals develop their own set of moral principles based on universal ethical principles, rather than just following societal norms or rules.
Postconventional 🥱
The most primitive Kohlberg stage of moral development, in which the child interprets moral behaviour entirely in terms of personal gain and loss. It is divided into two levels: at Level 1 the child's moral behaviour is guided by the avoidance of punishment (I should not tell lies because I might get into trouble), and at Level 2 it is influenced also by the desire for gain (I should not tell lies because then my parents will reward me). Compare conventional morality, postconventional morality.

Reflective morality is the internalized version of right and wrong from the elements of our upbringing. Reflective morality can include both religious morality, customary morality, and empathy.
Well we don't know which morality play is 'the morality play' but usually a morality play focuses on some moral.
Morality is a branch of philosophy, not science.

There is no morality in cheating at games.
Kohlberg's idea of postconventional morality, particularly stage 6, where individuals base moral decisions on universal ethical principles, may be more prevalent in Western cultures than in non-Western cultures. This level of moral reasoning emphasizes autonomy and individual rights, which may be more emphasized in Western societies that value individualism and independence.
