Gilligan's Theory

Gilligan's Theory emphasizes that moral development and reasoning can differ based on gender, highlighting two main perspectives: "justice" and "care." Traditionally, it's been suggested that men tend to approach morality through principles of fairness and rules, while women often focus on relationships and caring for others. Gilligan argued that both perspectives are valid and important, but society has historically valued justice over care. Her work encourages recognizing diverse moral approaches and understanding that caring relationships are essential to moral development for everyone.
