A Harbinger of Fresh Perspectives
The Rebel is a force to be reckoned with, representing the voice that’s had enough. The Rebel is the reminder of conscience and consciousness, inspired by a need to bring issues to the forefront. This archetype is a key to social change, acting as a harbinger of fresh perspectives, new outlooks, aspirational change and awakening. A rule breaker, the Rebel challenges convention by questioning the status quo and pushing the envelope. With bold leadership, courage and power, the Rebel helps to dispel others’ fear of victimization.
Anti-Establishment
Fluent in the language of society and tradition, the Rebel sees from a vantage point that illuminates a new direction. By raising awareness, breaking down outdated modes of thinking and institutions and combining ideas with action, the Rebel seeks to overturn the established order in service of a more cooperative, accepting and free society. The Rebel’s mission isn’t always social or political; the mission may be personal when applied to issues of resistance to change.
Challenger of Norms
While the Rebel may not be universally admired, this archetype is definitely attractive and possesses a kind of broad appeal with a strong affiliation for anyone in pursuit of a counterculture or of change to established norms. The Rebel does not express anger but does awaken outrage for the paradigms supported by society’s narcolepsy.
