Abstract

The present article approaches the results obtained by an experiment made in the framework of the subject “urban policy and social control policy” from the Social Assistance Studies (UBA). It is about a hypothetical situation in which the students of Social Assistance find themselves obliged to respond to an order against their moral identity. In this way, this search tries to recreate the conditions to observe and weigh up the levels of obedience in a group of students in front of certain orders given by their teacher staff in charge. The interest that guides our research consists of the identification of a list of actions which help students face and try to solve a conflict with a real authority. It is made taking into account either those actions that tend to the desobedience or those that facilitate the obedience.

Key words – Authority. Obedience. Conflict. Students. Social Assistance.
