"Kieran doesn't scream in class, as doing so would make the class chaotic."

They obey laws and follow social norms because they believe rules maintain stability, prevent chaos, and keep relationships smooth. Kieran fits here because he thinks about the collective environment (the class), not just himself.

To help lock this concept in for your exams, would you like to see how a person at each of these three levels would react to a classic dilemma, like stealing medicine to save a life?
