In this time taking vows is not as usual as is used to be before 1900. Now we are objects, more like products and live in a ecconomy of symbols as Baudrillard says, but yes there is a strong symbol for commitment and is that of obedience. I think in modern society direct obedience is far more effective as a vow. You can take all kind of internarl vows and even external but everything around you changes so fast you can even strenght on that vow. So I understand it more like propaganda for right and direct obedience and I don't think is a bad thing.
