You may not think about this very much, but every now and then authorities must be questioned. Why, because anyone can
discover a problem that needs to be corrected or have an insight that must
travel up the chain in order to be acted upon. Just because they're considered professional or in a position of power, doesn't mean they're right. Questioning authority isn't about rebelling, being a renegade or a badass either. It's about being responsible and asserting yourself as an independent
human being. To ask why someone demands something of you is a quality that not enough people have. We live in a world where there are many social conventions and, so, if we aren't questioning authority then we just blindly follow without any critical analysis. Having questioned it... you may then feel it's perfectly legitimate and decide to abide. Authority could mean your parents, your workplace, school, businesses and even the government. Authority works well for those who are in charge with their fixed rules and social conventions, but are often miserable for the rest of us.
