Moral is the development of individual sense of right and wrong. Therefore any moral development must be built on a foundation of what might be called, " cognitive development" or cognitive learning, a leaning in which consciousness plays an important role. Because learning is a permanent change in behaviour or behavioral tendency, as result of experience.

However, it must be said that the term, learning tendency did come to indicate that learning can be sometimes be dormant, which is to say, it does not often came to reflect itself in any immediate action.
The Greek philosopher Plato and Emmanuel Kant believed that "Moral sense is inborn", that is a given of the human mind. On the other side of the spectrum, another Greek philosopher Aristotle and John Locke did assumed that Moral sense requires learning and experience.

According to one of the psychologist, Kohlberg in his approach, took up the learning hypothesis, according to which human being requires a moral sense by learning to think clearly, through an example of Role model, and indeed, by social reinforcement. As a matter of what l may call, a near-act of sincerity, do we have such role model in our society or not. And from here, is the concept of what l may call " Power Orientation" which tends to mean that, to any child with the ability to think, this "might makes right" of which the parents may come to be seen as the Mr.& Mrs. "right" because they are bigger and stronger than the child in question, as a role model, if you like.

The same is true, there happen to be this five or six years old Buggy, who at one point was considering whether to steal this one naira note from his mother's purse. In fact, he hesitated, 'to do it or not do it"- which is the question.

However, his hesitation, if there is any, is based on the fear of being caught, and not on being guilty. Therefore, it is obvious, that he is "Amoral, with no sense of Moral, because he has no internal feeling that he is wrong to do something that is forbidden.

To this end, l must add that, although it may sound, tricky that when there is a disconnection with enormous gap between the mind, meant for rational thinking and heart with Divine connection, there is consequence.

One needs good reasoning and empathy as moral compass
