Explanation:

Jordan being a freshman in colege and being in the first stage of perrys scheme of cognitive development believes authorithies are always right because in the first stage which is Dualism, it is believed that the teacher is the authority who has all the answers i.e There are right/wrong answers, engraved in the sky, known to Authorities. The Perry scheme is a model for understanding how college students come to understand knowledge, the ideas they hold about knowing, and the ways in which knowing is a part of the cognitive processes of thinking and reasoning.  Learners move from viewing truth in absolute terms of Right and Wrong to recognizing multiple, conflicting versions of truth representing lawful options. Perry identifies four basic stages in the evolution of an individual’s thinking. (Dualism/Received Knowledge, Multiplicity/Subjective Knowledge, Relativism/Procedural Knowledge, Commitment/Constructed Knowledge)
