Can anyone help me to understand the subject (Authority) for the current Open Challenge? My understanding in English is a bit poor!

I'm sure there will be some disagreement among those who understand English well, but I'll give it a try. Others will surely fill in what I miss.

It appears from the challenge discription that they are thinking in terms of "rules & regulations." I'm guessing we'll see a lot of "no this-or-that" signs, etc. We may see some photos of the 10 Commandments since they are so controversial at this time in America. We'll also probably see some policemen and others who enforce the laws.

A lot of the understanding in English of authority depends on your world-view. From a Christian perspective, which will be a small minority, the authority of God will be represented by the Bible, church, etc.

I'm guessing "authority figures" will be represented: boss, parents, etc.

I probably just confused you more, but I tried to help :D

Prime Minister Khaleda is in a position of Authority, The military is in a position of authority, A childs mother and father are in positions of authority...

Government posted laws, signs, rules, and such are authorative

Authority generally would be anyone or anything that makes or enforces rules.

Government officials, police, military, judges, all would be authority. Teachers and principals could be authority in schools. A stop sign or traffic light might be an expression of authority.

Good luck!

I think after having 4 (non fitting the subjekt)comments on my picture that you don´t are open minded about this... I thought at is like Power to do something (like the police is in fact) ,and all this 4 comments tells me that you guys can´t see connection to the challange... In my mind this makes sence but I don´t blame you.... It has nothing though to do with police but something that I think have power to make changes in peoples lifes
