Amara is working in a high-tech logistics warehouse.
During her first shift, the floor supervisor stands directly next to her and instructs her to override a safety sensor to speed up a conveyor belt. Amara complies immediately and overrides the sensor.
The next day, the same supervisor is working from the remote administrative office and sends Amara a text instruction on her terminal screen to override the sensor again. Amara ignores the instruction and leaves the safety sensor active.
Describe how Milgram's research into obedience could account for Amara's behaviour.
