All of us, would have, at some point in their lives, have experienced the humiliation of having been put down by someone in a position of apparent (or actual) superiority, for the mere reason that they believe that their positions give them the right to act as they will.

"You have no say in this matter, you will do as you are told or face the consequences. My decision is the only right one, and thus it stands."

Your thoughts on the matter?
