Freedom

Freedom is a very big concept. Freedom is something people have strived for for many years, and it’s something that people still strive for. A long time ago, America was known as the thirteen colonies and they strived to be free from Britain. In the 1900’s African American people strived to have freedom to go to school or even be able to be allowed into a certain restaurant. Freedom is the ability to be able to walk in a public place without being told that you aren’t allowed there. Freedom is…

Throughout history censorship has followed people’s freedom of expression like a shadow. When I fled my country Ethiopia, not only as a result of censorship, but also extreme intimidation, I left my entire family behind. While others continued to write controversial statements about the government and politics, I left because I was not a fighter. Even though Ethiopia’s Constitution explicitly protects freedom of speech, in reality the government ignores it for the most part. In 2011, Reeyot…

Freedom is never given, it must be demanded. This statement is debated all around the world. It focuses on not only political freedom, but social and personal as well. Many important American figures have spoken about the topic, such as President Obama and Martin Luther King, Jr. If freedom was given, segregation never would have taken place and men in the military wouldn't be fighting for their rights. Slavery was in America for over two hundred years. Even after it ended, African Americans…

flexibility that allows freedom of action to exist. In general I agree that laws are made to be laws and that people should not be given expectation to surpass the law because of religion. With that said, I would not have agreed with the courts decision if they did not provided cases or situations in which the free expression clause did more than just protect the belief that religions have. Also, in this case the over whelming point of “laws are laws” out weight any freedom of exercise clause,…

over to infringement of someone freedom of speech rights. The biggest issue on not having censorship and privacy hit a nerve on some parents and other advocates. Because exposure of pornography to children as well as the censoring of unappropriated material, also creates actions that could be dangerous to those who abuse their power. But other think is a violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. The internet provides gateway to freedom of speech of which…

and ratified on December 15, 1791. This amendment forbids congress from interfering with a citizen’s freedom of religion, speech, assembly and petition. The right to petition is important to the United States because without it angering citizens, freedom of speech protects everyone from being able to express themselves freely. Freedom of press is meant to publish and distribute speech. Also, freedom of assembly is made to make certain that colonist would not be able to instigate a revolutionary…

The first amendment of the constitution is the freedom or right of an individual to; believe in whatever religion they may choose, assemble, petition and of course the most important one is to speak freely. That is why I chose the Article “Fighting for Free Speech on America’s Campuses that was posted in the New York Times. This Article first starts out with talking about the activist political group called FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights in Education), how it was formed and how the…

The First Amendment of the Constitution includes the freedom of speech, but does not protect all forms of speech. Some kids choose to abuse their access to technology and bully peers from school. This is the basics idea of what cyberbullying consists of. This is essentially the main reason many believe schools should limit students online speech, yet cyberbullying is not nearly as widespread of a problem as many believe it to be. Cyberbullying is not be an abnormally disruptive issue in a…

Freedom of religion is a fundamental human right. The decision to also move from a religion or cease from continuing taking part in one is also freedom of religion. Many people become refugees in order to escape religious persecution.At times, we may take it for granted, some people would much rather risk dying or leaving everything behind to just have the “luxury” of practicing their beliefs without any consequences. Our Founding Fathers heavily believed in religious freedom. The first…

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…
