Promotion speech Holding a middle school graduation reminds me of a scene in my favorite children's movie “The Incredibles.” Dash’s school is holding a ceremony for fourth graders and Helen is angry that her husband (mr.Incredible) didn’t attend. Mr. incredible says “ It’s psychotic! They keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity.” I wouldn't quite agree with Mr. Incredible and say that this promotion ceremony is “psychotic,”psychotic but there is definitely a lack of things to write…
Reflection Paper #1 The text that was most impactful for me was Kellie Bancalari’s “Free speech on campus? Not for adjunct faculty, it seems,” on USA Today. Bancalari’s article talks about free speech on campus and how the one group that has to be the most careful about what they say is adjunct professors. Adjunct professors are professors that work part-time and do not have tenure nor are they on track for tenure. She wrote that if adjunct professors say anything controversial or “incendiary”…

Racism and hate is alive and well. Racist speech and hateful comments still find its way into people’s lives, especially minorities. Whether people are offended by it or not, it is not morally correct to inflict such hate on another human beings. These types of speech can be found on social media, and television shows, or even local places like in neighborhoods and schools. Today, regulating racist forms of speech and hateful comments everywhere would be nearly impossible. All though, it is…
use of offensive speech on college and university campuses has been debated about for many centuries. The debated controversy is based on ethnic beliefs that students should be shielded from offensive speech such as racist slurs, sexist comments, and profanities. In many universities and colleges, educators’ and students’ speeches are regulated by speech codes to restrict individuals from expressing hate towards other individuals or matters. Universities and colleges apply speech codes on…
As much as victory gin is mouthwatering, free speech zones are free. Established by colleges and universities to accommodate—not stifle—Vietnam era protests, free speech zones were created in a time closer to that of George Orwell than our own contemporary society. Additionally, they are complemented by hazy, ambiguous policies that enable administrative abuse as well as accountability absent action against students. This cannot stand, for free speech zones and administrative censorship are a…

” We do what is right. That is why we are free. There are people in the world that are discriminated because of their skin color, race, gender or beliefs. There are people in the world who run to get away from discrimination. In America freedom of speech lets those people talk. America listens to everyone, black or white, men or women. The bombings, the shootings, everything that's been happening this year and years before has not stopped us. Right now people are pointing fingers and blaming…
The idealistic gain from free speech in America compares to nothing else, its superiority when it comes to freedom reigns over all others. While free speech is greatly adored in America, there should be a limit to it because of the violence it causes, it is oppressive, and when expressed in negative ways such as rallies, adds a terrible connotation to certain cities. While there have been many positives to free speech, a variety of different families have had loved ones taken away from them in…
