<pre><code>speaking up about the ideas and decision of people in position of authority is indeed important becasue not everyone is the same. You might have netter ideas than they do on certain topics which can help make a decision or improve recent errors made in making the decision.
Although the authority might make a decision which benefits everyone, it is always a good idea to question it because like it states in the issue presented in the excerpt, "-even if they are experts or leaders in their field-makes us better thinkers."(pg.8, "the SAT practice book). This quote states that questioning the authority's decision will not only benefit them, but also it will affect the way we think.
some people might think it isn't a good idea to question the authority because everything they do is all for out benefit; i completely disagree with that statement because like i said in my introduction paragraph(1st paragraph), not everyone has same thinking skills, and also some people have different beliefs and ritual values. It can be difficult for the authority to make a decision about certain topic considering the fact that everyone has different beliefs, if you can give it try to nit exactly question, but help the authority in making decision on this topic, it will benefit both the parties.
another reason for why i think it is important to question the authority is because you can prevent the wrong things from happening. For example, uniform policy in school. It can be hard for the authority to make this decision considering the students and parents' demands, but if you take a stand and speak from your perspective, it can change the way of thinking both the students/parents and the authority.
In conclusion, i will state that it is important to question the authority's decisions because it can benefit both, you and your society. It can prevent wrong things from happening and also, it changes the way of thinking.
