The idea
At the conventional level, right is defined by others' expectations: stage three seeks approval and good relationships, and stage four upholds law and order.
In practice
"Good students don't cheat"; "if everyone broke the rules, society would fall apart."
Where people slip
Conventional reasoning looks to the group and its rules rather than to personal consequences.
