Rebellion Against The American Revolution

I would define rebellion as an act of opposition against the already occurring rules or guidelines. Rebellions can occur on a very large scale such as the American Revolution, or a small scale where everyday actions could be rebellious. An example of this could be the clothes that people wear. I am very grateful to be going to a school where individuality is encouraged and students wear different clothes that represent themselves. In some areas, however, some clothes may be discouraged. For example, in the business environment, there is a standard for the type of clothing that people should wear to meetings and other events. So, going against this and wearing something different could be a way of rebelling against the standards of clothing

required by businesspeople. While this could spark a positive movement of encouraging individuality and uniqueness, it could also have the consequence of people not taking you seriously. Another type of rebellion is on a more personal level. Often, many teenagers like to go against the set of guidelines that their parents set for them as a way of rebelling against them. For instance, some people would dye their hair different colors because it would go against what their parents wanted them to do. For me, I would sneak food up to my room and keep a stash of junk food in my desk drawer so my parents wouldn’t find it. My mom is very strict about bringing food upstairs so it was very risky for me to do this. A consequence of my actions could be me getting grounded or banning me from the pantry, but I still do it because I believe that I should have the freedom to eat in my room if I want to.
