    Milgram's agency theory of obedience suggests that people take on two states of behavior - autonomous or agentic. When acting autonomously, individuals act in their own self-interest, but agentic behavior is learned from parents and schools where people are taught to obey authority figures. In extreme situations of moral strain, acting agentically can cause people to violate their own moral principles by following harmful or unethical orders from perceived legitimate authorities. The theory proposes that people are more likely to obey orders when the person giving them is viewed as qualified to direct others' actions.
