<p>Topic: Does questioning an authority make a society stronger?</p>
<p>In certain cases, society must rise against authortiy in order to strengthen itself. When a form of government fails to perform its duty properly or the people feel the government or system of authority is neglecting them, they may feel the need to rise against authority in order to progress towards a future in which they feel more content. An uprise by the people will force the government to make changes. The society will unify against the authority it is attempting to change. Examples of such situations are evident in history as well as everyday life.</p>
