Passage Three
In many countries，authority is seldom，if ever，questioned，either because it is highly respected，or because it is feared．Sometimes，too，because rank has been important in certain societies for a long time，people have been trained never to question those in authority．For example，children are not expected to question their teachers in sch001．It may be considered improper for young businessmen to suggest ideas that differ from those of older，more experienced members of the business．
In other countries， including America， children are trained to question and search for answers．When a child asks a question，he will be often told to go to the library and find answer for himself．By the time students reach the age of 14 or 15，they may be developing exciting new ideas in all fields of science and arts．To encourage such creativity，there are many national prizes offered to students every year for their scientific discoveries and artistic accomplishments．

it is the person’s ideas that are being questioned，not the individual himself．The two are quite separate．The purpose of the searching，questioning，and arguing is to find the facts in a particular situation，and therefore a solution，so that the work of the business can progress in the most effective manner possible．
As was mentioned earlier，you may notice the same question in social conversations．Although some individuals may think that Americans are rude because of their direct manner with people，they are merely trying to learn more about your ideas．
