Hello I'm Maddi Rose, my partners are Sophia Farenga and Madison Mueller. Today my group and I are taking the side that kids should not wear uniforms to public schools. The first amendment says that people have freedom of expression. School uniforms shows neither of those things. According to ProCon.org, “The First Amendment of the US Constitution guarantees that all individuals have the right to express themselves freely.” 13 year old Kamran Khan stood outside his impoverished family, doused…

Over the years people have been overusing the First Amendment as source of defense. Since the first amendment entitles people the freedom of speech, people like to use it as an excuse to express their emotions about a certain situation knowing that the first amendment protects them. Therefore, they take less responsibility for their actions and blame the constitution for their slip-ups. In Free-Speech Follies by Stanley Fish, Fish addresses the First Amendment issue. Fish states that people use…

Government Regulation on Threatening Speech With the rise of tension between the United States and the Middle East, every word spoken or drawing depicted is under pressure of causing harm. Is there a line drawn between freedom of speech and hate speech, for the sake of the safety and freedoms of our country? Can the government regulate communication that constitutes a threat to the United States national security, and if so, how? The United States government was put into place to serve the…

What is freedom? It’s defined as the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. Without hindrance and restraint is the key part to this. A person is given the right to freedom in the Constitution. However, their right to freedom gets violated when schools try to force uniforms on a student. There has been many attempts to stretch dress code policies, which aren’t as restrictive as uniforms but still hinder rights. For example, 13 year old Alan Newsom had…

The Effects of Censorship in America Freedom of expression and the struggle it has brought along is as ancient as the history of censorship. The power of voice that it brought to the individual was held in high regards to the moral and political life of the population in the past. The playwright Euripides (480-406 B.C.) defended the true liberty of freed born men-- the right to speak freely. Nevertheless, he was careful to point out that free speak was a choice (Newth). Today, the acquisition of…

This is one of the main reasons works of art are censored in several democratic countries. Pro-censorship forces and politicians cite false scientific studies to force this idea on others; however, there is no real evidence that this is true ("Freedom of Expression” 3). Since aggressive people such as psychopaths tend to watch violent television, many assume the shows they are watching lead to their vicious behavior. This is not necessarily true because it still remains uncertain whether this…

all people connect with the art or even see it in an appreciative way. Some art is religiously offensive, racially offensive, has too much nudity, or just makes a person uncomfortable. Censoring the art intrudes on the rights of the artist and the freedom of expression. Things in an art piece that offend someone could speak to another person and inspire them. Most art that gets challenged is a little out of the ordinary and something that is unpopular and it addresses issues that could be…

build their own governments and legal systems. In both, they state the importance of individual rights of human beings, whether it be the freedom to worship however they wish, or not revoking privileges because of said persons’ religion.

The Pilgrims settled in America to escape persecution in England. Protestants fled Ireland when Irish…
