Question 8

An airline co-pilot, Marcus, notices that the captain is making a dangerous navigation error during a flight. Despite knowing the flight safety procedure is being breached, Marcus does not correct the captain, later stating to investigators: "I was just executing the captain's flight path; he is the commander of this aircraft, so the responsibility was entirely his, not mine."

Discuss the agentic state as an explanation for obedience. Refer to Marcus's behaviour in your answer.
