Keeping Our Free Speech
The first and probably the most important Amendment from The Bill of Rights clearly states that: Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech (World Book Encyclopedia). Since the beginning of time America has been seen as the land of opportunity, the sole reason why many people immigrated here from all over the world is that it was a place of freedom, free from persecutions and unjust rulings. Being able to express our selves without the fear of persecution is a beautiful thing, a thing that our forefathers invented to make America a free country, exactly what it is today. So what is the problem one may ask? We live in a country that grants us with free speech; however, we still complain and are not satisfied. The main problem with the freedom of speech is that it is limit less; many scholars feel that speech should not be completely free. They debate on the problems presented by such situations as assaultive and hate speech and therefore feel that redef!inition should take place. Based on the knowledge I obtained from Words That Wound and my overall knowledge acquired in school as well as in real life situations, I feel that our country would loose all essence of what it stands
For the reasons mentioned above I feel that it is in our duties as citizens to protect free speech. By redefining free speech Ozymko 4our nation will loose the sole purpose of its existence; one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all. Even if such law would be passed how would! we be able to differentiate who was right and who was wrong at the time a racial incident occurred. The Bill of Rights and our Amendments were written for a reason, they were not intended to be changed under any circumstances. ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**none. If you approach a complete stranger on the train and say that you don't like what he's wearing, most likely this type of insult wouldn't cause any drastic effect. word, when she strictly forbid its use, that word would be the only thing coming out of my mouth for the next couple of weeks. It can also be attacked by presenting such things as actual events that take place in our society dealing with racial / hatred issues and the use of free speech to get this message across. Ozymko 3I know that my view on this subject is quite controversial and easily questioned. I remember when my mother first heard me use the F. But if we let ourselves be limited to what we say, where we say it, or who we say it to, then what will stop our government from posing more limitations on what we can say about presidential elections, taxation, or other laws which might aid the government and not the people. It is obvious that if you insult someone you have to be ready for the Ozymko 2consequences, whether they may be verbal or physical depends on the circumstances which you present at the moment. Putting restrictions would only complicate things and confuse our nation; furthermore I feel that it would cause a specific kind of fear and chaos in our society. If we fail to do this it will be the same as digging our own traps which we would later fall into.
