Under what circumstances is it acceptable or appropriate to question authority? In what cases would it not be acceptable or appropriate to defy authority?
I believe that it is acceptable or appropriate to question authority when the authoritative figure is making decisions that are not right for you or the other people they are making decisions. For example, if your guidance counselor says that you can't a class because it isn't right for you but it's in a subject that you are really interested in and that will help you in the future then it is appropriate to question their judgement. I think that if you know that what they are doing is wrong or will harm someone then it is okay to speak up. It is not acceptable or appropriate to defy authority when the person is just trying to look out for you. For example, if your parent tells you that you can't go to a party because it's not safe for you to be out late at night especially in a bad neighborhood, then you should not defy them. If you're putting your life or someone else's in danger by not listening then you should obey orders..
