New unit - REBELS

A rebel is someone who participates in organized resistance to a constituted government; a person who takes part in an armed rebellion against the constituted authority; someone who exhibits great independence in thought and action; someone who break with established customs

Rebellion corresponds to the refusal to accept some authority or code or convention; organized opposition to authority. To rebel is to renounce and resist by force (or not) the authority of the ruler or government to which one owes obedience.

I think someone like Nelson Mandela could be considered a rebel because he had ideas that went against the ones already established and he fought for them. As good as J.C that changed a whole culture.

I feel like a rebelling when I don't accept what I'm been forced to do and I don't do it. But I don't remember when I did it.

We notice that heroes are seen in a positive way whereas "rebel" is a pejorative word.

The main difference between them is the way they are seen. Although heroes are well seen, like people who did something good for the humanity, rebels are mostly seen as people who disturbed the peace.
A rebel becomes a hero if he the causes that he fights make sense, his not only disturbing to have fun, but doing something that will change the world into a better place. The line is drawn by the reason.
