I mean trying to internalize other entity's commands as your own behaviour. That's the idea behind Chinese "points for obedience" system, isn't it?

- Ajedi32 9y agoHmm... perhaps the term you're looking for is "blind obedience"? I don't think the word "obedience" on its own accurately describes what you're trying to convey.
- thriftwy 9y agoNo it's not "blind obedience", it's the opposite of that. It's trying to score points by showing obedience.
- acmecorps 9y agoFollowing the law? Isn't that just "obeying the law"? (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/obedient http://www.dictionary.com/browse/obedient) I don't think being obedient and "trying to internalize other entity's command as your own behaviour" is the exact same thing (one might overlap - that I agree).
- thriftwy 9y agoFor example, I am obeying the law that disallow taking bribes all the time because nobody ever tries to bribe me. I hope you don't laugh because that's exactly you are trying to convey. No that doesn't work that way, and dictionary won't help you. For starters, you should understand the distinction between action and inaction. Then you should take on personal borders topic.
