I agree that blind obedience is not always a good thing. There was a story of a teacher who as an experiment, divided her class up into the blue-eyed blondes and the brown-eyed brunettes and began subtly making a very big demarcation between the groups. The end result was to show children how easy it is to become prejudiced and to treat people in a bigoted way,even when you know them to be your friends and good people. The children’s behavior towards their friends altered significantly until the experiment was explained.
