        Years of being indoctrinated to obey without question while growing up in a pro-authority environment might have something to do with it.

        That way when it comes down to dealing with an unruly employee or child, it's easier to shut them down and make them fall back in line.

        Even if it's the right thing to or if someone believes it's the right thing to do, the fear of what might happen can and will stop anyone.

        Keep the masses living in fear and you can control every single aspect, thought, and action of their lives and they will never fight back.

        Sad that your parents raised you to obey no matter what.Not everyone is raised that way. Different situations call for different reactions.

        It's not so much how I was raised by my parents, it's the school system in place in this country. I know I can't speak for anyone... (1/2)

        Feel like you probably don't need to be told this, but whistleblowing is incredibly hard and comes with high personal costs.

        Go with the flow: offers paycheck, stability Whistleblow: offers ostracism, uncertainty, legal battles, and reduced job prospects

        As it takes a soul unafraid of death to stand against the boot of tyranny. Most cling to life at all costs, till death is all they have.
