Obedience (human behavior)
Obedience is basically the Follow bids or prohibitions by appropriate actions or omissions. The word is derived (similar to obedience ) of hearing, listen, listen, and can range from a purely external action to an inner attitude.
Obedience means subordination to the will of an authority, obeying a command, the fulfillment of a claim or refraining from doing something forbidden. The authority is usually a person or a community, but can also be a compelling idea, a God or your conscience be. Can be distinguished (see below) between voluntary and forced obedience.
The opposite of obedience is disobedience, resistance or refractoriness, the latter meant negatively from the point of view of the parent (or rulers ) and therefore is derogatory and is also perceived by the educated or concerned so. The importance of disobedience is assessed quite differently in education. While it may be a common virtue in educational processes of obedience, Kinderladen education appear in disobedience a desirable setting, which ( according to Alexander Sutherland Neill and Stanley Milgram about ) is too rarely practiced. This has by these two authors also means that insubordination in situations where it comes to the enforcement of human rights, for example, is too little practiced. This disobedience is rarely available as a variant behavior in addition to the obedience. From his obedience experiments Milgram calls about ( and among other things ): practice of disobedience.
Obedience is like all other educational goals not forever fixed value. Rather, the importance of obedience in our society is changing with its norms and values; they apply or develop gradually and losing in importance again - as well as obedience and subordination. Similarly, the importance of obedience is not the same in all social classes or groups. In general obedience in working families is more pronounced than in emerging middle classes in which personal liberty is stronger in the foreground (see Gustav Gray, literature). The rank of obedience, his assessment at different educational objectives is very different social groupings (similar to other educational ideas: objectives, orientations and guiding principles ).
