| I think the authority (as in those with power) should always be questioned, however in a respectful and peaceful manner. Even if you agree with the stance, questioning a position will raise open public debate which is essential for any country to be free. What I emphasize is open debate. If you question an authority by shouting them down while trying to speak you hinder open discussion. I am not suggesting that you shouldn't protest, but if don't push it to where the other side cannot actually respond turning the situation to where only one side can be heard.
For #1, I would have to say it does hurt interaction with authority figures. You can respect a person while despising their position and not even liking the person - that should be understood by our generation. Respect, requiring disipline, is neccesary to interact with authority figures and correct or ammend their ways if you disagree with them.
For #2, I wouldn't say a lack of disicipline hinders interaction, it just changes the way in which you interact.
