Troublemaker, a noun used to describe one who habitually causes trouble, mishaps, or problems particularly against those in authority. But what comes to mind when one utters the word? A person that intentionally disobeys the law? One who adorns street walls with graffiti in a free spirited expression of creativity? Or perhaps someone who's mere unruly appearance is enough to bring the word to mind?

Whatever the imagery, regardless of purpose, the independent actions of one can be perceived as trouble for another. Even if it is for a worthy or noble cause.
