Questions and instructions

Literal question

Question 144 : People have different ideas about following instructions at work. Some say that people should, in principle, follow the instructions of their superiors related to their job, even when they do not fully agree with them. Others say no-one should be expected to follow their superiors instructions in a job without being convinced that the instructions are right, rather than as a matter of principle. Which of these two opinions do you agree with?
