Speech Comm
She walks in, sunglasses on, carrying a large bottle of water. She's faintly green and speaks quietly...
Ok, gang. The unit for this week is obedience. we're going to hammer out the why's and how's of obedience to authority, and how that behavior relates to trust and influence...and respect. *Looks at O'Neill and Harkness*
Why do you obey? Some of you obey better than others. Why do you defer your personal power? Is it to gain something? If so, that is, as Elizabeth explained so well week before last, hegemony. *Writes HEGEMONY on the board* This is when you do something that decreases your personal power in order to gain something, in either the short or long run.
Ok, so obedience to authority. Everybody stand up and push the desks out of the way. Quietly please.
*Watches as they do it (or at least some of them*
Good. Now question yourself...why did you just do what I told you? Why were you obedient? Is it because I'm the teacher? Is it because I'm older? Is it because you've been conditioned...*writes CONDITIONED on the board* to comply with a simple request?
You cna put the desks back if you want to sit down. I'd like to get a discussion going regarding your perceptions of obedience. Ok, go.

Yes...um...extenuating circumstances. Good. So there is a grey area when it comes to obedience. Many factors to consider. I think you are getting this, Jack. Ok...let's move away from killing to something else. Considering the experiment Chip brought up, what's your feeling about people shocking a subject simply because they were told to? Even when they didn't want to, they were obedient to the researcher...why is that?

killhurt someone because they're told to.People say that that's what the military does but it's not. The military tries to weed out the people just looking for an excuse to
killhurt people. On the whole most people join to protect, and because of that when an order tokillhurt is given you can bet there's a good reason behind it.I just went off on a completely different line of thought didn't I?
[OOC: Sorry about that, Mun's mum called.]
If somebody gives you an order and it goes against your personal morals don't do it.
