rebel:
(plural: ‘rebels‘ — for the right pronunciation, please click here)
a person who refuses to follow or obey orders because he/she thinks those are not the right orders;
a person who opposes (acts against) the present traditional political or social system, and often acts or fights against the government by taking up arms and being violent;
a person, usually a youngster, who always does something against the traditions by not following the normal or usual way of life, such as wearing different types of clothes, hair-style; having unacceptable sexual activities, criticising religion and religious rites, using a different style of language, etc. (nothing to do with politics or violence, just a social change),
Most governments in the present world are unable to control the rebels who cause a lot of damage to the public and public property.
Though rebels in general are labelled anti-social elements, most of the politicians in the present democratic governments were once rebels that rebelled against the previous governments!
The old generation says the present generation is a gang of good-for-nothing rebels, and the young generation says the old generation is a bunch of floatsam and jetsam, not worth considering as people!
