If you are one of those who is all for breaking a rule because it doesn't fit you, are you willing to accept the consequences or punishment for breaking the rule?

I think only really brave people will break a rule because they think its wrong. In the 50s up trough the 80s there were experiments cunducted by Stanley Milgram and others about obedience to authority. They made a person give (fake) shocks to another one until the person who was giving the shocks stopped responding. About 80% of the people followed through to the last schock even though the person was screaming in (fake) pain.
I think this shows a terrible part of humanity. For my part I think I would be in that 80%, and its a terrible realization to come by. Maybe the best thing to do is to stay clear of situations were your integrity or whatever may be tested. who knows.
