i think it would have been better if you quoted atleast one such "certain situation"
Great idea!!
I want to modify this first sentence:
It is to be done only in certain situations for which we deem questioning to be appropriate.
Let's use an action verb, and lets not say "has been having" because it sounds awkward:
Basically, right from the early age, man has
been having exhibited this tendency
of doing to do what others do.
I'll add a comma below for clarity:
Even the earth was presumed to be a flat one, and only when someone questioned the posssibility of the same that we came to know that the earth was actually spherical. ---Good example. I guess this is indeed an example of a situation where questioning is appropriate..
So its not required
to from that every man follow what others say and be a follower, but instead he...---I don't like the way this essay used "he" and "man" all the time. It is language like this that perpetuates gender inequality and keeps women undermined. I know it is a common way to write and that you do not have good intentions, but I still want to mention: It is good to write about "people" and "humankind" rather than men and mankind.
Therefore, I would like to conclude by saying that only by questioning authority
one can can one have...
