Answer 7

Emergence of Post conventional morality - this is when someone does something to help another individual despite the dangers attached or despite it's inconvenience. For example, if you are driving home from work after a long day and someone you know is sick so instead heading home, you go and bring them soup. Its a sign of maturity

- ego-identity status- a sense of belonging between an individual and another institution. For example, a baseballlayer feels proud that they areart of their team and have pride in it

Answer 9

Emergence of formal operational thought- begins at about age 11. As adolescents enter this stage, they gain the ability to think in an abstract manner, the ability to combine and classify items in a more sophisticated way, and the capacity for higher-order reasoning.
