We can observe the uprising of one group of people in relation to another quite often. The uprising always has its own reasons. For example, the oppressed were fed up with their subordinate position and they decided to rebel. You can even say more, dismissal from work is also a kind of rebellion against the existing order of things. As the reader understood, today we will consider the question of what is rebellion.
Origin
We never reject the help of an etymological dictionary, if possible. Penetrating the original meaning of words, assimilating their history, we thus better understand ourselves and our (or someone else's) language.
So what is riot? This is an old Russian loan from Polish, where bunt is “rebellion, rebellion”. The Polish language, in turn, owes this word to the German bunt - “union”. The word "rebellion" in German is directly related to the verb binden, that is, "to bind." And now we can restore the whole picture. Riot is an alliance of conspirators connected by a common goal, a single impulse. In general, what is rebellion? This is a collective matter.
But what about personal riot? We think that over time, as is usually the case, the meaning has changed slightly and began to mean disobedience in general. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine both insurrection and rebellion as something individual, and circulation has a similar meaning.
Value
From past deeds to present affairs. We hope that the explanatory dictionary will support the undertakings of a colleague and clarify the meaning of the object of study. So, next in turn is the meaning of the word "rebellion": "A spontaneously arising uprising, rebellion."
By the way, it is important to understand: despite the spontaneity of the event, the riot always has reasons. The latter can be either deep, which has yet to be dug, or lying on the surface. For example, most of the uprisings of the Russian people were provoked by inhuman living conditions, so the peasant mass was so easily ignited and sacrificed by their individual representatives, because people were ready to give their lives only for hope for a better share.
Sentences with the word
When we understand what rebellion is, we can use the noun in spontaneously created sentences, which can be seen as a protest against ready-made samples. We will compose five such sentences:
- Chefs are in revolt and do not want to cook any more until they are paid twice as much.
- Riot is beautiful as a rush. But the problem of the rebels is that they do not have a plan for further action. What to do if the coveted blessings in the hands still turn out to be?
- Riot is not the only means of solving problems, there are still negotiations!
- Do not scare me with rebellion, young man. Here I’m going to work and pick up the joystick from the console, we’ll see whose one it will take!
- If a man does not know how to cook, then a female riot can be expressed in the fact that the girl will stop turning products into dishes. Under the pressure of hunger, a man will agree to any conditions.
Yes, it turned out something like bad advice. But the suggestions are indicative.
Phraseologism
In the previous section, the phrase “riot on a ship” was not used, but it is quite popular. Moreover, in order to understand its meaning, it is not necessary to go into the etymological dictionary, meanings are present in the usual dictionary of phraseological units. The point boils down to disobeying employees directly to their superiors. Came from the dictionary of sailors, where it meant the rebellion of sailors against the commander of the ship. Yes, it is worth saying, although it is obvious that phraseological unit has a figurative and playful meaning. That is, no one will ever say so about a serious conflict.
For example, parents, when a child does not want to eat porridge, can say: “What, a riot on a ship ?!” The reader may be amused to come up with similar situations where there is a riot, but no tension.
Synonyms
Of course, the theme of rebellion is inexhaustible. But we set off on a journey driven by very specific needs. And our tour is almost over. It remains to find out only one thing - the synonyms of the word "riot":
- insurrection;
- rebellion;
- disturbance;
- excitement.
Not many replacements. But the main thing is that they are, which means there is a choice. There are words in Russian that cannot be replaced. Fortunately, this is not the case.
But duty tells us not only to comprehensively examine the linguistic object, but also to say at least a few words about rebellion as an instrument for changing the world. Is he even effective?
And this is a difficult question. On the one hand, today's world is the result of revolutions, and not only in our country, but on the other - how many human casualties! Any shift is washed by the blood of thousands of people. Therefore, we, loving with all our hearts the revolution, still call for evolutionary changes that are coming from within the system.
There is only one problem: sometimes those who are responsible for innovations do not feel that the system needs updates. If the state of stagnation lasts long enough, a revolution occurs as a response to the passivity, inertness and rigidity of the system. But it is better not to allow such a situation. The past century has tormented people with its tensions, so now no one wants conflicts. And the world has changed, these days it is difficult to imagine a full-blown revolution or a popular rebellion, at least in Europe.
