Many (perhaps even most) people can be talked into the later Kohlberg states of moral development. This is basically what tends happens in the lead up to a category of laws being rejected by society and eventually dispensed with.
- tedks 13y agoThat's an optimistic way of looking at it. The pessimistic way is that people eventually see enough authority figures endorsing new stances that they change their own stance. Obviously nobody explicitly thinks their morality is dictated by the state/church/parents/authority-figure, but in reality most people would agree with virtually everything an authority figure would say, especially if you look at what people actually do rather than just listening to what they profess.
