Michael Davis | Professional Responsibility: Just Following the Rules?
Davis criticizes the view that professional responsibility goes beyond merely following the rules of one's code of ethics by necessarily involving certain character virtues. Rather, if a code of ethics is well-written, following these rules means that a professional is acting responsibly. He discusses seven different interpretations of "just following the rules": blind obedience, strict obedience, malicious obedience, negligent obedience, accidental obedience, stupid obedience, concluding with a positive discussion of interpretative obedience.
-Which of the following defines blind obedience?

A) when we allow our own judgment to be short-circuited by someone else's
B) when there is a division of labor among those giving and those following a rule
C) doing what the rule says without concern for context or consequence
D) when there is understanding about what the rule means and how it functions as a guide to conduct
