There is a bumper sticker very popular in places like California, Oregon and Washington and various other states across the U.S. which simply said, "Question Authority". We were talking to a friend of hers whose family was the exact opposite. However, her straightforward approach put her in direct opposition to her mother. So, this is still a sore point with her. So, I spoke of how our favorite bumper sticker when I was in the 1960s through the present is: "Question Authority" because if you don't you might soon be dead, especially if you live in the U.S.
In other countries you have to be much more careful because many places if you question authority you just might be shot on the spot. Most places in the U.S. (at least if you are white) and if you are polite about it you can still question authority and still survive it.
However, having a college education helps when you are doing this if you really want to survive this even here in the U.S.
