When and whether to challenge authority can be a difficult line to determine. Sometimes, we must challenge improper, immoral, or illegal rules, policies, and laws. For example, if no one had challenged authority, African Americans/Blacks would still be riding "in the back of the bus", forced to use separate drinking fountains and bathrooms, and still forced to do menial jobs for little pay. Women would not have succeeded in joining the workforce. Veterans would not have many of the benefits they are now entitled to have.
Yet, to challenge authority simply because you do not like a rule is not a good enough reason. When the rule affects the health, welfare, or rights of a group or race, then action may be useful. But change does not occur without struggle and penalties, so pick your battles wisely.
