Factors of Disobedience

One of the common ideas when I hear disobedience would be the lack of studying. Sometimes students tend to have a mind set in a field of their favor that they know the material very well. A good example would be taking a language class in which the course is Spanish. A student can take the Spanish when their first language is Spanish, thus it implies that the course will be fairly easy for them. This can cause the student to not do as much studying when it comes to test and quizzes that the instructor offers. While other students that have to study day and night to remember the definition to certain terms, the particular student have fun on their free time when they should be studying for the course. This can cause a bad habit for the lack of studying when the student takes a different course, example math; they would need to remember the formulas for equations and how the formulas work. Instead, the habit of not studying can carry over, which can cause his grade to fall and have a tough time during the class period.

            As teenagers grow up year by year into their young adult hood, problems and roadblocks often occur the most during this time. Teens would often experience bullies within schools and start their early relationships as their puberty hits. Although many teens often spend their entire day at the school grounds, hardship is still around. They still have to obey the classroom rules and school policy during those educational hours. Once that bell rings at their last class, they would set their daily routine and go home to finish their homework, as well as watching television, eating their favorite snacks, and talking to their friends. As those teens age, their mind set will start to develop and start to have their own ideas and thoughts. They will begin to have their own decision making on where which food they would like to eat, and their own ideas on what is more important to them. “If a man can only obey and not disobey, he is a slave; if he can only disobey and not obey, he is a rebel” (685). That quote resembles of how the life of a teenager goes as they age to young adults. They first begin by obeying their parents and later learn to make their own choices in life by disobeying others and follow their own.

            The idea that education is available to us is for our future benefit. Being able to purchase good items with the income from the job we get throughout education. In order to do so, one must pass the required classes needed for the degree industry to get a diploma. With all the hard work that must be given to achieve this goal, time and management with study skill is needed. The good work on homework and test results will bring forth a grade for the class which will be recognized that the student has the required skills to pass the class. Although there are some cases where the student doesn't like the class but it is required for them to take it. “The subjects do not derive satisfaction from inflicting pain, but they often like the feeling they get from pleasing the experimenter; they are proud of doing a good job” (75). This quote refers to what a student has to go through classes not in their field of interest, but as a result of getting an outstanding grade in the class, they are satisfied. In order words, the students must obey their education while disobeying the fact that the student themselves aren't pleased with the course they need to take.

            In a classroom environment, there will always be a student who disrespects teacher and their classmates. Quite often, the teacher would ask that student for a side conversation on why they are acting that way and what might fix the problem. Other times the student would be just sent out for detention time for rude behavior during class period. The disrespect that they show in a classroom is not appealing and mood in character for other classmates. When they see that student in the hallways, most students would believe that this person is a bad child and might be a bad influence to them, thus they would avoid being near that student. Delinquent would be a word to describe them for their actions and disobedience. They would go into a classroom and do what they want without considering others within the room. They would not listen to any rules that the teacher has set within their classroom and do as they please. Some might go to sleep in class or be on their phones during the lecture period. The act of disobedience renders them to be delinquent.

            Teachers often try to ask for volunteers in a classroom environment for feedback on their teaching methods and for certain topics that the class is discussing. Students sometimes wonder if what they answer to a question that the teacher has asked is correct or not. Often students believe that their answer is wrong; it leads to few hands in the air when the teacher has asked for feedback. This is a type of fear that students have when they might know the answer but are scared to be looked upon on if it is wrong. Some students on the other hand might think it is a great way to see how much their knowledge is in that subject and answer what they believe is right. The obedience level applies both ways in this matter. One being obedient to the teacher and answer their questions while you disobey that fear inside you to raise up your hand; the other is the exact opposite whereas the student would apply their fear to keep their hand down and disobey the teacher by keeping quiet in their seat.
