Is society better off when many people question authority?
The speaker asserts that when many people question authority society is better off . While I contend that certain forms of disobedience can be harmful to any society, I agree with the speaker otherwise. In fact, I would go further by contending that society’s well-being depends on challenges to authority, and that when it comes to political and legal authority, these challenges must come from many people.

Certain forms of disobedience某些形式的反抗(注意积累 “反抗权威”的表达方式)
Admittedly, when many people question authority some societal harm might result, even if a social cause is worthy. Mass resistance to authority can escalate to violent protest and rioting, during which innocent people are hurt and their property damaged and destroyed. The fallout from the 1992 Los Angeles riots aptly illustrates this point. The “authority” that the rioters sought to challenge was that of the legal justice system, which acquitted police officers in the beating of Rodney King. The means of challenging that authority amounted to flagrant disregard for criminal law on a mass scale-by way of looting, arson, and even deadly assault. This violent challenge to authority resulted in a financially crippled community and , more broadly, a turning back of the clock with respect to racial tensions across America.
