Recommended: Obedience in society

Obedience has always been in society. It is how we live our everyday lives. It is how we drive on roads everyday. It is how people are to walk on sidewalks rather than the streets themselves. How people accept certain authority and how they take it seriously determines if people would obey law/rules, and that means to what extent they would do so. Luke seemed as a regular man. He was drunk at the time of when he cut of the heads off of parking meters. And so he was then directed to pay the consequence of what he did in that moment, which was getting arrested for his wrong doings. Luke was then sentenced to prison in Florida. Upon arrival, Luke made the prison seem awfully unappealing. He made the prison seem like somewhere he did not want to

  • Nonconformity in "Cool Hand Luke"

    1188 Words  | 3 Pages

    Luke's disobedience, with the lack of a just cause, ultimately led to his demise when he realized that fact at the end. His desire to disobey authority for no particular reason and construction of an image initially created tension among his inmates. Gradually, inmates started to idolize him, which the wardens saw it as a threat. His multiple escape fails to cement a clear reason for his disobedience; it was not until his recapture that he starts to lose his moral. He realizes this at the very end, however it has been too late. Cool Hand Luke demonstrates to us that disobeying authority requires a moral, just cause so that one can accomplish a more fair society and be one step close of attaining happiness.

    This change may be eternal of sudden. The protagonist of the story, Luke Harding, is a dynamic character. ¨They almost got a member of the public shot! And they certainly got a very valuable mobile incapacitated.¨ This quote said by one of Luke's friends from when he was in school, caused an internal change in Luke. He decided that he should not involve MALC and any other friend in such an unorthodox case, especially if it could result in death. This quote had an effect on the plot because it was the start of the falling action, that would eventually lead to the resolution. It had an effect on the reader, because it led them into a satisfying ending to the story. Meanwhile, the book also had a clear effect on Luke, because the event changed his way of thinking. Instead of still thinking that it was right to do anything to catch the murderer, he decided to have boundaries on what he would do. Although Luke was one of the few dynamic characters in the story, Luke was also a round

  • Analysis Of Stanley Milgram's Obedience

    1523 Words  | 4 Pages

    Obedience is something most people are taught at a very young age. They are taught to listen to the commands of their parents, older siblings and family members, adhere to the instructions of teachers. People are taught that obedient behavior was rewarding, and defiant or disobedient behavior would most likely lead to punishment. That seems like a simple concept to comprehend, but what happens when being obedient means causing harm to others. Blind obedience is a term that, put simply, means doing something because you are told, without putting any thought of your own into the decision. This type of obedience has been used to describe the actions of people involved in notorious events in world history; most notably, the actions of Nazi officials

  • Pilot Tells You Critique

    939 Words  | 2 Pages

    Obedience is viewed as being the righteous choice, but that isn’t necessarily true. Both “Just Do What the Pilot Tells You” and “Disobedience as a Psychological and Moral Problem” showcase how there are certain situations that individuals must be able to choose to either obey or disobey. Theodore Dalrymple, a British physician, wrote “Just Do What the Pilot Tells You” to show that both blind obedience and disobedience are dangerous and people should never stick to one or the other. Eric Fromm took this into more depth in his article “Disobedience as a Psychological and Moral Problem” by using his scholarly knowledge from being a psychoanalyst, philosopher, historian, and a sociologist. While too much disobedience can be destructive, disobedience in the correct setting has allowed mankind to evolve by questioning authority.

  • Obedience to Authority as Showcases in A Few Good Men

    1927 Words  | 4 Pages

    Obedience may be a simple word, yet it has a powerful impact on the daily lives of millions. Obedience is simply when one follows the orders or directions of another figure, presumably in an authoritative position. This is something nearly everyone bows to everyday without even realizing it - and it can drastically change our lives as we know it. Obedience is, for example, how the holocaust happened. The Germans were ordinary people turned into murderers because they followed the orders of one man - their dictator, Adolf Hitler. Of course, obedience does not always result in horrid results such as the holocaust or result in such a large catastrophe. Obedience can have drastic effects on the lives of only a few men as well; this is showcased in the movie A Few Good Men.

  • Disobedience As A Psychological And Moral Problem By Eric Fromm

    Following any kind of authority with dishonest morals is wrong. In the writings “Disobedience As A Psychological And Moral Problem” by Eric Fromm, “Perils of Obedience” by Stanley Milgram and “Fourteen Defining Characteristics of Fascism” by Lawrence Britt they speak on similar principles of obedience by using observations and experiments. These experiments and concepts proved that most people unthinkingly follow orders from authoritative figures just by their social influence. The person being obedience to the autorotative figure must identify rational and irrational authority because can lead to unjustifiable treatment of the population, therefore people should be aware that blind obedience is a major threat to

  • 'An Example Of Civil Disobedience'

    239 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the video, John Green talks about several examples of Civil Disobedience. The movement that impressed me the most was the nonviolent protest against the Nazis during World War II called the Rosenstrasse protest. German Gestapo arrested Jewish men whose wives were not Jewish. They were taken to a building as the ladies protested outside on the street. The Gestapo threatened them with their guns, but the wives persisted for a week. Eventually, the men were released and returned to their families. This example of Civil Disobedience intrigued me due to the fact that it was the only protest against the German Nazis to achieved success. In the video, when Green told his viewers that this was the only protest that successfully resisted the

  • Police Authority: A Theological Perspective on Disobedience

    1374 Words  | 3 Pages

    Americans are called to obey police officers as figures with authority. However, as we have seen in the news recently, police brutality is a common occurrence. People are starting to question police authority and whether or not they should have to obey at all times, even to the point of physical harm. Similarly, Aquinas and Augustine deem there are times in which it is acceptable to disobey earthly authorities, most notably when violating the divine law, however, Augustine disagrees with Aquinas in the extent that you may disobey such as when a law’s intent is immoral, the subject of the power is not prevailing, the burden of the law is not proportionately placed on the citizens, and the law is not ordained for the commonweal.

  • Christo-centric Centrality: Towards Gospel-Based Ideology

    Those who followed Jesus did so because of the myriad of miracles and authority He had over demons. They followed Jesus because in the midst of 4000 and 5000 people, He was able to feed them all. They saw Jesus as being one with tremendous amount of authority and were drawn to His authority and power rather than for who he was. This is evident as James and John, the sons of Zedebee requests; “Grant that we may sit, one on Your right and one on Your left, in Your glory” (Mk. 10:37). Clearly, the rest of the apostles were not so happy with their request. In fact, the rest of the disciples began to argue as to who would be greater in the kingdom of God. Jesus’ response was one that we as Christians should all relate to; “But it is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant; and whoever wishes to be first among you shall be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (vv.
