Most of times ... B...
Unfortunately I dont have a good attitude torwards authority in any way.
from my parents, teachers , bosses, and I could go on the whole day. lol
Its kinda inmature from me , I know , but I cant help it , its in my DNA or nature or something.
I certainly need a good logical reason to follow an instruction. If I dont think its good enough I wont do it, regardless of the consequences.

I'm going to go with "accept and respect authority" for two reasons.
1) I believe the law always wins.
2) I've spent a night in jail.
If you don't respect authority you will pay the price! I don't question authority. That's my experience and my opinion.

Police, Government authority, work place authority, I respect that.
Then there is supreme authority,.......Jewish Mothers. Without question.

Well, as long as the political establishment makes 10 times the income a garbage man makes,as long as the police beats you instead to take you in politely if you have done something wrong ,as long as there is a government that doesn`t work in the interests of their citizens but in the interest of making a small group richer and more powerful, I will criticize and question

I certainly have a dispensity towards questioning authority from a position of unqualified scepticism(I guess for all the criticism I make of the times we live in, these times are still conscious within me).
But, in my defence, I have the integrity to doubt everything, including the validity of my own doubts... 'Kings will be tyrants by policy when subjects are rebels from principle', these are wise words I remember before thinking about my rights against authority and what is meant by the word freedom. Freedom being a word I rarely use without thinking.

It depends upon the situation.
A certain train journey I do regularly I have a longish wait inbetween connections. I ususally nip out of the station premisses and do some grocery shopping. One day barriers were being set up used for health and safety reasons to control the influx of passengers after rugby matches in the local stadium.
An official told me I wasn't allowed to go in the direction I needed to get out of the station. The situation was silly at the time as they were just setting up and the stadium hadn't started to empty, but obviously the official had a difficult job to do, a lot of responsibility for the preservation of human life including that of women and children. I decided my supper wasn't worth breaking his concentration and went back to the platform.
On the other hand, when a situation arose where I felt teachers were misusing their authority and not providing an appropriate service for my daughter's particular needs, I challenged that vociferously, the eventual conclusion of which was having her school funding transfered such that she could start college a year under age. She startd to thrive.
Authority takes many forms beyond the police force and legalities can be subtle, or otherwise in their imapct.

B and not unfortunately. Critical does not mean "bad." I believe everything we do should be viewed through a critical eye whether it is at the behest of an authority or not.

let me add though that I try to treat others with respect always, evem if I do not agree. but attitude towards authority is more like option B, because I do not blindly follow. I seldom follow.

Sounds like fear of authority to me. Which is healthy, they have the gun,,
I have respect for "just" authority, I learned that from good boss I had one time.
I have nothing but contempt for those who push their weight for the sake of power.
But I will often not let them know that, THEY HAVE THE GUN,,,

I agree with mcajr79. A balance needs to be struck.
We need to be critical, question and challenge. There'd be no progress otherwise....
There are, however, measures in place for the good of us all without which would descend into anarchy.

Sometimes it hurts to go along with it but I'd rather accept it and walk away
