The term obedience (originating in the Latin oboedientĭa), is related to the act of obeying (that is, respecting, abiding by and fulfilling the will of the authority or of the person in charge).
Obedience usually takes place based on obligations or prohibitions that involve the performance or omission of certain actions. The concept contemplates the subordination of the individual will to an authority figure, which can be both an individual and a group or a concept. There are those who, for example, fulfill obedience to God or to an ideology. Taken by: (https: // Authors: Julián Pérez Porto and María Merino. Published: 2009. Updated: 2012).
