Four Freedoms

Our Freedom of speech is given to us, among our many other rights, so we the people can stand up for our words and be safe to talk our own opinions. But, with this freedom comes limitations that are tested everyday. Many forms of speech are prohibited in order to keep the peace in the atmosphere. We are limited by the government in order to keep equilibrium of society steady. Even though Chaplinsky had his right to speak, he did violate the law by insulting others and so he would be tried in…

speak out against injustice where we see it, and fight for equality in areas where it may be lacking. An example of people using it to protect freedoms in our modern times is the fight against SOPA. SOPA was an bill originally envisioned to stop piracy, but it would also cause widespread censorship of the internet and the people on it. This would take away their ability to speak and assemble freely. It was stopped because people exercised their first amendment rights to speak out against it.…

another. We always focus Americans as these freedom hungry citizens and that's it, but that's not it, we are much more than just being quoted as “freedom.” Many people have their own interpretation on what it is to be an American; Americans are wonderful people who innovate, believe, and are hard working to achieve their dream. Americans are ones who fight and achieve their dreams. The three main things that define an American are, having their own freedom, having the chance to unify, and a…

through Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “Four freedoms”. The first freedom is freedom of speech and expression. One of the points that Abele makes is that “ Without privacy in sharing our thoughts with others, There is neither freedom of speech nor of association” (Abele, Robert P., Dr. "“Democratic Dictatorship”: The Transition towards Authoritarian Rule in America." Global Research. Global Research, Jan.-Feb. 2014. Web. 18 July 2016.). He uses the third freedom, “Freedom of want, especially economic…

relevant to both the movement of the plot and modern day America is whistleblowing. Whistleblowing, or the disclosure of information by a person or agency that may be illegal, corrupt, or tarnish reputations, is directly related to democracy and freedom of speech (Whistleblowing). Additionally, whistleblowing plays a critical role in the film as well, introducing conflict throughout the film. While the film was created in the 1930s, the ideas presented remain both culturally and politically…

Governments can use web filtering just like a parent or business. China has a firewall so convoluted it is called “The Great Firewall of China”. The Open Net Initiative (ONI) is an organization that informs people on what web filtering is. They have four categories to which filters can fall under: political, social, conflict/security, and internet tools. The political filter is any content about politics. Totalitarian countries may block politics because that don’t want their people to see what…

It is the freedom to speak one’s mind without fear of retaliation, now or at any time in the future. We don’t have perfect freedom of speech in any country, yet. It is still a goal we need to strive for. It’s just not authorities that may crack down on uncomfortable or irreverent opinions; the public may be just as harsh…

The book Winning by Jack Welch teaches about the methods that he has used to be successful in business or in his words, to win in business. The book uses four different sections of business to develop to strategy to win. The four sections are start of the business, the company itself, the competition and lastly, the career. From these topics, I’ve chosen three chapters to discuss in detail; these are Candor, Differentiation, Voice and Dignity. To begin, Candor is the processing of communicating…

My father, Doug Hibbs recently lost his job for complaining about the health care system. He was also put on probation. This is despite the fact that he worked for a private company. Here in Canada, we do have freedom of speech. But it’s only during election time when people can speak their minds without the fear of being arrested and losing their jobs. This what we call the Free Speech Period. I remember a conversation I had with my parents one evening as all of us sat at the dinner table.…

In this survey I interviewed ten people. I read each of them the first amendment and then asked them four questions based off of how they felt about the amendment. After I asked them each question I told them that what I had read them was the first amendment. Many adults knew before I had asked them the questions, but many of the adults and younger participants did not know. In the survey conducted, I questioned ages eighteen to seventy on how they felt about these given laws. Many of the…
