…necessary for any society to function,but in order for a society to grow and evolve,as it must, the individual members must willingly face public disapproval and censure,paying the price brought on themselves by asserting their thoughtful obedience when their society takes a wrong turn. Therefore, as Erich Fromm and Dorris Lessing explain, one should distinguish between disparaging and constructive obedience, and should discern to what extent they get implicated within a group.
