Brought up in a home

"I was brought up in a home where elders cared for the young and are respected duly but launched into a community where elders cheat the young"

Okay, something happened of recent. As a member of a team, I guess I reserve the right to challenge my 'oga' whenever I think he is not doing the right thing.

Talks are sacred. I felt what my team leader betrayed my trust for him and I challenged that act. I just demanded an apology for that act and all I got in return were insults from some of the team members and him inclusive.

Although I could garner the reason for the action from the reply and I just said okay, one of our colleagues said I should be the one to apologize because I didn't address him well.

I believe in a democratic setting, if you feel cheated, you are free to challenge the authority involved anyhow.

Am I right or right?
