This week’s post, about rebellion and power, seemed to hit a chord. But (so far) nobody could think of examples of media that do a good job at the thing I suggested doing - showing how characters rebel, not (only) because they hate authority, but because they can see how the harm being done by this authority and its rules is not acceptable.

Let’s broaden the scope of the question a little. Can you think of a time in your life when you thought something through this way? Or can you think of a time in history when someone else did?
