Why one rebels?

Gurr's relative deprivation model says-
1.Collective political violence is a form of aggression;
2.aggression results from anger,which is produced by frustation;
3.the fundamental cause of feeling frustation is an imbalance between what one gets and what one considers one's due.
In Gurr's language-"discrepency between men's value expectations and their value capabilities".
Obviously,the propensity to feel frustation and its consequences are in a special sense "inherent".The greater the scope and intensity of relative deprivation(RD),the more likely is a violent behaviour per se as well as high "magnitudes".

    There are four preconditions of relative deprivation. Assuming person A wants/desires an object X then
    1) A does not have X
    2) A knows of other persons that have X
    3) A wants to have X
    4) A believes obtaining X is realistic
    Critics say that relative deprivation model fails to explain why some people who feel discontent fail to join social movements or take action.
