Obedience is Confomity

"...Orgota, people trained from birth in a disciple of cooperation, obedience, submission to a group purpose ordered from above. The qualities of independence and decision were weakened in them. They had not much capacity for anger."Pg.173

I think that if the Orgotas are so subservient to others and themselves, then their society is just going to collapse. What if another opposing nation decides to attack them? What will the people do? How will the people of Orgota defend themselves? When in the truck taken for jail time, you notice that they are all obedient in staying inside the truck and do not request to leave. In fact, they want to remain in the truck. They are filled with morals so being good and well behaved comes naturally to them. The only thing that i can think of that was rebellious was to get the dead man out of the truck and to get the sick man another truck so that the others will not become infected. Orgotas must have a lot of patience and the ability to be very understanding in order to be well behaved. I dont think our society is filled with people that can be that obedient and understanding, I am sure that there are plenty of people in our society now that are super obedient like the Orgotas, but humans are not all perfect. They crack, and can be easily swayed. I wonder of Orgotas, if they were pushed to a ccertain limit will be able to be forced to crack and tell others of their probelms. This reminds me of the story Driftglass, because the people in Driftglass as i read, were all nice people and i dont remember reading anything about the characters having hatred in them. I know that the characters were all kind like the Orgotas probably. Sometimes, i wonder how people can be kind to people that do not deserve to be treated fairly. I think it is unjust that those that help the ones that need it do not get the help they should get in return. The Orgotas are amazing for being so obedient and are amazing for being so well behaved. I admire them and hope that someday in our society, everyone can try to be a bit more like the Orgotas.
