"Disobedience when it is not criminally but morally, religiously or politically motivated is always a collective act and it is justified by the values of the collectivity and the mutual engagements of its members."
Social historian Michael Walzer, 1970 (as quoted in Franzoi 303)
https://www.mtholyoke.edu/~apkokot/followup.htm"disobeying an authority was also easier when others modeled defiance. After participants observed two "co-teachers" (confederates) refusing to proceed, only 10 percent obeyed until the end, whereas when the confederates obeyed the experimenter, participants obeyed to the end over 70 percent of the time (Franzoi 302).
Conceivably, when the illusion of unanimity is broken, the majoriy of people stop participating in an activity that is morally wrong. These findings indicate the importance of speaking out against observed injustice; protests not only help the victim, but they also encourage the resistance of others as well (Hollander 1975, as cited in Wortman, Loftus and Weaver 610)."
