In 1891, Irish author Oscar Wilde (1854–1900) observed, “Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man’s original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.” To what extent do you agree or disagree?
We agree with Wilde's observation that it is through disobedience that progress is made because it teaches people something. When people "disobey" they tend to educate people out of it because they're being listened to and understood further more, increasing the attention towards their cause.
