Spencer Ferguson · Answer 1

Bonnie is demonstrating moral sensitivity as she decided to keep the money and pay off her bills. She consider that the owner of the wallet has no financial problem that she could just keep the money and will not bother to find and return the wallet that she found.

This is an example of moral sensitivity where Bonnie identify which possible action she will make that is to keep the money, where she assume the full responsibility on how they would be affected by the consequence of her action and that is her bills was paid off and the owner of the wallet is financially stable.

Cognitive

Explanation:

The cognitive component of morality emphasizes the moral aspects related to reasoning, focusing on the changes that occur from the development of thinking and intelligence of the individual. That is, according to this component the individual comes to a moral concept about a situation after reasoning and thinking about the situation and what to do. An example of this can be seen in the question above, where Bonnie concluded what to do in a given situation after spending 15 minutes sitting on a bench thinking about the situation and what to do.
