Yes yes-- and some are taught NOT to question things in some cultures. In some cultures, it's considered very offensive to ask questions, especially asking a question of an adult's actions or an authorities decisions. That seems so scary to me, I'm really glad my family wasn't that strict but I can imagine how such strictness of information and discipline against inquiry could cause many people to grow up without knowing how to think for themselves and never thinking to; but just continue their routines the rest of their lives. sigh
