When discussing the reasons why people make the decision to take up arms against their government and create or join a rebellion movement, two academics explain and analyze the key legitimate reasons. First, Ted R. Gurr, in his book Why Men Rebel, emphasizes relative deprivation and why civil society takes up arms against the regime in power. Second, Jeremy, M. Weinstein in Inside Rebellion: The Politics of Insurgent Violence lists two different situations in which civilians choose to join and actively participate in a rebel movement or actively support it. These factors are the economic and social amenities that rebel groups can provide (or at least claim to provide in the future) to the population. While these two authors capture a broad scope of the actions and motivations of participating in or supporting freedom fighters, they both appear to fail to emphasize different aspects of why people fight against each other or against the government. Factors such as fear, kidnapping and subsequent corruption of minds, drugs, and obedience to an authority have played a significant role in various violent conflicts around the world, most notably as regular or civilian and non-regular combatant factors of the movement's elite. Therefore, this article aims first to provide a more in-depth description of the theories listed above by both authors and subsequently to show examples where other, more negative factors have played a significant role in conflict situations. We will seek to ask the question whether fear and obedience to authority are a significant reason versus different endowments or relative deprivations for people to not only join but continually support and take part in violent conflict. document ......to introduce other factors, such as fear, corruption of minds and obedience to authority, which have played an important role in the success of growing rebel movements in several conflict areas, such as Sierra Leone and Uganda, etc., which were not mentioned by the two authors. Conflicts and rebel groups differ in their structure, and although in most of them the common sense of deprivation plays a role, and in their enlargement economic and social factors play a crucial role, it should also be recognized that fear and other aspects Negatives are used by rebels to strengthen their movement.
