Many of the causes of obedience or disobedience are shared; meaning that social pressure, for example, could cause obedience or disobedience. The concepts of obedience and disobedience are closely related, "they have a complementary function". Since both of these behaviors are very similar, it's important to understand that neither is necessarily good or bad. Naturally we tend to think of obedience as positive behavior and disobedience as negative behavior; however, this is not always the case. In the Milgram experiment, the teachers were obedient and kept shocking the students, so in this case obedience would be considered bad (Maura). Obedience is a behavior that we may never fully understand. Although we know many of the causes behind obedience and disobedience, the reason behind these causes is still intriguing and makes obedience and disobedience very unique.
