topic-is it important to question the ideas and decisions of people in positions of authority?
In a democracy,the people in positions of authority are accountable to the people . However,in communism the leaders are not answerable to the people . They do whatever they feel like. Though not unanimously not agreed upon by everyone,it is essential to question the ideas and decisions of people in positions of authority . This concept can be exemplified through the examples of american evolution,the killing of an unarmed teenager and my personal experience.
The monumental american revolution is a premier example to prove my point. The colonial americans were rules by the British americans and severely lacked fair representatives. In 1770s, the stamp act, a tax levied on letters, cards and other forms of paper was passed without american’s consent. This was the time when americans realised how partisan the British government was. In response to this act, in 1776, the leaders of America drafted the declaration of independence stating the reasons why American should be a sovereign country. And today America is a world power in it’s own right. Had people not questioned, America would not be known as the greatest power.
just like colonial americans,the people of ferguson questioned the ideas and decisions in positions of authority. the killing of a 14 year old teenager took place in a district of ferguson,Missouri. Darren wilson,a white police officer shot an unarmed brown teenager from a distance.This is not sure whether the boy was surrendering or threatening the officer.people of the town protested wildly against the rights of the officers.this issue led to a lot of controversy. After these protests, the policemen will be more wary about their rights and they’ll think twice before shooting any person.
Constant questioning of the authority should take place. Public should take a stance on each and every topic. If an issue is taken laxly people will carry on the malfeasances.
We have always been taught that we should respect our elders and never back answer them. We have been always been told that elders are correct for myriad of reasons. I, along with my friend went to a tuition. The teacher was considered an erudite, no one dared to question him on his teaching skills and abilities. One day he told the class that zero is an even number and is positive. The entire class obviously hurriedly noted down the point and marked it as important. Upon listening to this I was appalled and then I corrected him saying that zero is neither positive nor negative. He glowered at me but my pals appreciated me. A gaffe of the teacher would have forestalled the students to get a high score.
The evidence supporting this fact has been pervasive throughout history, literature and life. To reiterate, it is important to question the ideas and decisions of people in positions of authority.
