What does freedom of speech mean to you?

Freedom of speech is considered to be one of the most important democratic values. However, the practical significance for people varies widely around the world.

For example, in the United States, there is no law that restricts racial discrimination and dislikes feminists and homosexual comments. These are the right to say that it is protected by the first revision of the US constitution. However, it is illegal to make such comments in Europe. Holocaust denial or hate speech can make you head to court

In a recent opinion poll, nearly half of the Europeans agreed that they should be able to prevent their government from saying harmful to ethnic minorities. Germany shows the strongest emotion, and 70% of respondents agree with this. Among the six EU countries surveyed, with this agreement median was 49%, Americans was 28%.

However, the atmosphere in the United States is changing. Only 12% of the silent (70 to 87) people agree that the government should review the unpleasant speech, but 40% of 40% (18 to 34 years old) have agreed

It does not have a clear trend in the EU when it comes to differences between generations. People between 18 and 34 in Germany and Spain are more likely to say they should be able to say something more aggressively than people over the age of 35. In the UK, young people are not very open to freedom of expression in this format. At the same time, there was no significant difference between France, Italy and Poland's age groups.

On the street there is a shining show full of trophies, but A in his life is a favorite of the class. Who should be blamed? Who is forwarding tweets? my parents? government? society? The power of history? Me? Everyone, everything, the whole universe? Or just a series of random events?

Freedom of speech is not armor. Regardless of whom you are, you can not protect you or your work from criticism, even if you have this freedom. Freedom of speech does not mean that more than one person personally asserts me, but I can create whatever you want and I can not expect the impact on the real world. The incineration of those who are unaware of it is a strategy used by abusers to bring doubts to abused people. In the context of the world of literature, what I have observed is that POC is told that we are wrong. We are clearly not wise enough to understand that Price wants to participate in what she calls the necessary atrocities and to show racial discrimination to whites. We are only opposed to the first amendment and we have to stop

Freedom of speech means enabling people with fundamentally different views to talk. But freedom of speech does not mean refusing to point out that something we do not agree is wrong, sometimes wrong. An antidote for hatred and racist speech is not suppression, it is more remark. When people dislike individuals and organizations, the government should respond, not through censorship, but through strong, direct and explicit discussion on aggressive speech, and must do so. Freedom of speech means that the government can not ban or punish speech. This does not mean that the government can not judge the speech. Because judgment is the essence of politics
