Justice and rules are conceived of as unchangeable properties of the world, beyond the control of people. - autonomous: The second stage of moral development in Piaget's theory, displayed by older children (about 10 years of age and older). The child becomes aware that rules and laws are created by people and that, in judging an action, one should consider the actor's intentions as well as the consequences. - Immanent justice: Piaget's concept of the childhood expectation that if a rule is broken, punishment will be meted out immediately.
