How to brutally overwrite all more specific CSS definitions down in hierarchy?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

In general a more specific CSS definition for an element nested inside others overwrites to the more global definitions.

So a font-size: 15px rule in <P> overwrites the font-size: 18px in <body>

Thats fine in general.

However there are some specific situations where I want to brutally overwrite with a font-size property all other font-size definitions inside the assigned element.

How can I do this?

An “!important” CSS rule postfix let me only overwrite possibly existing rules on the same level (=for the current element) but NOT inside for all child elements!
