Was on the prompt: Is it important to question the ideas and decisions of people in positions of authority?</p>
<pre><code> Old ideas hold one back, and tie the binds of conformity strongly and securely to ones wrists. New people, not necessarily the ones in power, provide the kind of new, radical thinking that pushes society further. Questioning the ideas and decisions of those in power is vital to the further technological and moral advancement of our people. This truth is evident in the actions of Andreas Vesalius and in the novel A Tale of Two Cities.
Andreas Vesalius was known as the Father of Modern Anatomy; his ideas proved to be a breakthrough in the medical field. However, up until the dawn of the fifteenth century, the theories of Galen, another anatomist, were like law. Galen was the authority of all things anatomical, and both medical professors and parochial clergymen alike never doubted his findings. It was not until Vesalius, through harassment and hardships, disproved Galens theories that others realized the flaws in Galens ideas. Vesalius had the innate courage and curiosity to question Galens findings. If he had not, the further advancement of modern anatomy would have been greatly hindered.
The revolutionaries in Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, also challenge the decisions of the aristocrats, the people in power at the time. The peasants are horribly oppressed by the upper class, so band together to question the morals of the aristocrats. Their revolution paves the way for a new, uncorrupted government in France. The revolutionaries put an end to the wrong actions of the aristocracy by rising up together and shouting so loud that it is impossible not to be heard. Their actions reveal the faults and wronging of the upper class.
Through the examples of Andreas Vesalius and A Tale of Two Cities, the importance of challenging authority is exemplified. People in positions of authority many times do not provide the type of fresh, innocent, and virtuous ideas that others may provide. Always questioning the ideas of leaders produces an constant stimulus and response cycle that can be used to correct previous ideas or formulate new opinions.
