<p>Is it important to question the ideas and decisions of people in positions of authority?</p>
<p>Perfection is that one quality that humans cannot possess. Most progress that has taken place throughout history had come about because people probed "those in charge." It is therefore absolutely imperative for us to question some of the ways of our leaders.</p>
<p>For hundreds of years, before renowned scientist Albert Einstein started his life's work, scientists world over accepted Isaac Newton's theory that all physical quantities are constant. Albert Einstein however challenged this theory. Through his own research, ingenuity, and, above all, his curiosity, he was able to propound a theory of his own, known as the theory of relativity, that debunked Isaac Newton's theory of constant physical quantities. Einstein's courage to challenge the then established authority in the field of physics has today led to our harnessing of nuclear energy.</p>
<p>Also, biologist Charles Darwin cause radical changes in scientific thought when he challenged the widely-held opinion that all life forms were immutable. His doubt led him to enquire into the nature of living things, an enquiry that took him many miles from his home. After a few years of hard work and research, Darwin came up with his theory of evolution. Darwin's initial doubt, which gave birth to his research and, consequently, his theory of evolution, today aids scientists to determine biological patterns and hence, to cure ailments.</p>
<p>In the 1960's, when Segregation was abound in the United States, Martin Luther King Junior's questioning of authority helped bring racial equality to America. He vehemently challenged "the people in charge's" notion that black people deserved services and products of more inferior quality than did white people. He fought hard and long against the tide of the authority of his time. His challenging however paid off greatly when a United States supreme court justice declared Segregation unconstitutional and hence, brought the much-desired end to racial discrimination the United States.</p>
<p>As flawed as humans are, they need people to correct them and put them on track - people in authority are no different. Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin and Martin Luther King are all testament to this fact, that authority needs to be challenged sometimes, if we are to progress as a human race.</p>
