Question

leq: how did tension and conflict over authority lead to the development of the us government? warm - up imagine: a supernatural being developed the ability to snap all adults out of existence... it is now up to all the teenagers left to create a society in order to survive. thankfully, youre all incredibly smart and this new society is not only surviving, but also thriving! suddenly, after 5 years all the adults that disappeared snap back into existence, and they decide that your new society should be managed like the society they were originally in charge of. question: how would you feel about the adults coming back and trying to implement their old rules? how do you think you and fellow new leaders would respond? would you try to find a compromise, submit to their rule, or fight back to keep your new society as is?

Explanation:

This question explores social - psychological and political responses to a change in authority. Teenagers who built a successful society may feel frustrated or disrespected with adults imposing old rules. Responses could vary based on the perceived fairness of the adults' actions and the strength of the new society's identity. Compromise might be sought if the new and old systems have some common ground, submission could occur if the adults have significant power or the new society lacks confidence, and fighting back could happen if the teenagers are very attached to their new - found autonomy.

Answer:

Feelings could include frustration, disrespect. Responses could be to seek compromise (if common ground exists), submit (if adults have more power), or fight back (if attached to new autonomy).
