“Is it important to question the ideas and decisions of people in positions of authority?” the answer is surely without a doubt ‘yes’. If you are to mindlessly accept claims made by each government authority or sovereign ruler, undermining your right to freedom of expression and thought, how can you truly assess a situation as realistically true or infallibly invalid? Under the Communist Regimes in the 1960’s many countries such as Russia, then the Soviet Union, the people were denied the option of retort, what was said, was surely accepted because of the might of a ruler, out of respect, his decisions were never questioned. The unforgettable story of Adolf Hitler, a man so overgrown with power that his subjects did not stop to question him but carried out his actions without thought or question, it is such a tragedy that results when individual freedom of question is removed. The question however remains, where can one draw the line? There is after all a reason an authority is elected, at least in many countries of the world today, claimants of the free world tell of democracy, meaning that most people had consented to put their advocate in a position of power and judgement. Their fate inevitably lies within his hands and his irrefutable power must certainly be backed by an educated insight for the needs of the people. This certainly means that he is able to make informed decisions regarding the whole populace, creating a more peaceful society for all. It is therefore important that we realise that there is no grey-zone when it comes to authoritative decisions, as a citizen of the world, we must use our common sense to explicitly imagine and play out the consequential scenarios created by a decision of an authority, and if we are convinced that the implications gravely outweigh the benefits, we are the voice of the people and must convey our beliefs and voice our concerns. To challenge is not always to criticize, an important idea, as questioning could lead to a better understanding on both sides of the authoritative spectrum, and appealing to improve or adjust is sometimes an efficient and effective way of creating a more beneficial situation for everyone concerned. As a child, challenging my parents was a constant happening, every time I attempted to challenge an authoritative decision, I was blocked the right to dispute with a simple “No means no”. This frustration was immense as sometimes I knew that I was indeed right, but had to surrender to this higher authority for fear of repute. It is often the simplest thing to accept something without question, but often the most harmful to naively accept an authority’s word for that of anything more than human.
