142"The well-being of a society is enhanced when many of its people question authority."
Webster的解释
Well-being-----the state of being healthy, happy, or prosperous; welfare
Authority: An accepted source of expert information or advice
1 权威并非一定正确的,并非一定可以促进社会繁荣。如果权威做出的抉择顺应时代发展趋势,则可以促进,否则不符和时代发展的权威看法不可以促进社会的繁荣。权威来自经验和历史,没有任何权威可以绝对的说他的话会被未来证明是正确的。
2 首先社会里许多人置疑权威,说明那个社会里人们很有独立思维和批判思维能力,也说明社会包容各种思想,有利于社会繁荣。举历史经验为例证。
3 而且社会很多领域的重大进展都是置疑和否定权威而得以实现的。如量子力学,相对论否定了牛顿的经典力学等。这样的例子非常多.
4 再进一步讲,即使通过否定以前的权威而有所成就,一些人成为了新的权威,但是他们还是要面临另外的人们的置疑。这样,通过不断的置疑-发展-置疑,社会形成了良性循环,从而有利于社会繁荣
outline
1.Generally, authority in a society is a symbol of power, absolute true and right in one field. But authority is still human being and he/she has the same possibility as the average people to make mistakes. Authority is right when he/she conform to the trend of development but he/she will be wrong when his/her mind is out of date and even more retards the advance of society.
2.Many people's questioning authority means that those people have the ability to think and to reason independently and that the society can contain various minds.
3.Further more, the competing for authority often result in a breakthrough in society. For example, the Relative Theory of Albert Einstein challenge Newton's classic physics and took over the place of the latter finally.
4.The challenger becomes authority when he/she wins the contest finally and he/she must face the question from new people. In the numberless challenging and defending, society makes a greater progress

------正文------
I strongly agree with the assertion that the well-being of a society is enhanced when many of its people question authority. In respect that many people question the authority, more critical ideas will be introduced to resolve existing problems instead of entirely follow authority(前面都是做OF的宾语,FOLLOW如果是名词后面要加介词,如是动词要改做动名词), therefore enhance the welfare and prosperity of a society.
Generally, authority is broadly accepted for their ample experience, which is proved to be practicality(这个词是名词,而这里很显然是“实用的”,换形容词) in most circumstance. But it does not mean that authority is absolutely right all the times, and fellow(拼写错误) authority will eventually lead to a bright future. After all, authority is still human beings, his/her advice or theory comes from their experience, include his/her own ratiocination, therefore he/she has the same possibility as the average people to make mistakes. Authority is right when he/she conform to the trend of the development of the society, but he/she will be wrong when his/her mind is out of date and even more retards the advance of the society. For instance, we all known that inventor Tomas Edison is a authority on innovations for his thousands inventions, but in his senectitude, when a young scientist who cooperate with him find(我觉得用过去时) a new way to improve the telegraph technology and wanted to apply a patent, Edison despise that invention and thought it was nothing. So Edison rejected that application and even hinder it by using his social powers. But actually, that invention made a communication revolutionary. In this, we can see that follow authority is not always benefit(beneficial) for the well-being of our authority.
In a society, many people's questioning authority mean that those people have the ability to think and to reason independently, and also mean that society can involves many distinct ideas and opinions, therefore create more possibilities to buildup the welfare of that society. History tell us that to enhance the well-being of a society, whether though a tiny reform or even a terrible revolution, the most important ability that people must contain is critical thinking. Critical thinking is the key future for every advancement or progress to the prosperity of our society. [Example] For this reason, it is obviously that with many people who are dare and able to question authority, the well-being of a society will be enhanced.
Furthermore, the skepticism to authority often results in a break-though in society. When Newton found the laws of physical mechanism, it lasted nearly 300 years without doubt. While in the beginning of 20th century, many new discoveries showed that some phenomena couldn’t be explained by the Newton’s classical theories. At that time, Professor F. J. Karen was the generally accepted authority of physics. Karen sublated these phenomena and interpreted them to be the artificial errors due to carefulness (用形容词)experiments. But Bole and Einstein questioned his authorial assertion. By the independent and critical advisements, they brought us with the most significant advancements so far in physics: the Theory of Relativity and the Quantum Mechanism. By this meaning, question authority may result in a breakthrough and thereby enhance our society.
In addition, many question authority can bring society a benign circle to enhance the well-being to a greater progress. When the challenger he/she finally win the contest to the old authority, he/she will be considered as new authority. Also, he/she must face with new questions by other people. By this numerous questioning and defending, the well-being of a society will make greater progress.
With the above reasons, I insist the statement that while many people question authority, the well-being of that society will be enhanced.
