As an advocate‚ I will be arguing against the proposition stating that campus speech codes are required to ensure that all voices are welcomed. To start off‚ campus speech codes are defined as regulations that prevent discriminatory speech directed at a person’s race‚ gender‚ sexuality‚ or other element of identity. However‚ I think there can be an argument made that these codes can set a different standard on what it means to be discriminatory. Therefore‚ these regulations can unjustly restrict

“Redskins” This article has an impact on all of us. I don’t agree that the word ‘Redskins’ should be banned in the state of California. If this ban would travel around the world‚ a lot of schools would have to change their name. Our school has the Redskins name and for the name Redskins to be banned‚ we would have to change the name of our school. I don’t know why people are offended by this particular word‚ there are so many other problems in the world that we should be focusing on. People are whining

Q. Do you believe that freedom of expression is fundamental for the successful working of a democracy? . I believe that the freedom of expression is one of the cornerstones of a liberal democracy. A democracy‚ in the well-known words of Abraham Lincoln is a way of government “of the people‚ for the people and by the people.” For this political system to be realized in daily life‚ the unhindered articulation of the will of the people is vital. The freedom of expression allows for this articulation

AOTW Redskins I disagree with California Ban on the word ‘Redskins.” I disagree because Native Americans are the only one making it a bad name. No one else is using Redskins in a bad way or even thinks of it in a bad way. All reskins means is that someone skin has a red tint. It’s names of many schools and some famous sports teams and they shouldn’t have to change their name because Native Americans think of it in a bad way. Everyone who has had to change their name because of California ban

First they invited them over‚ second they saw certain troubles in cultural affair‚ third they tried to invade cultural fairness by suggesting banning to local authorities and offices allowing further social injustice. My point is clear‚ if you want social justice‚ you can’t ban religious matters in any race. IF NOT‚ you will have to ban yourself from saying "Jesus Christ" or "God" as well as many other Christian frequent manners. This is surely disgusting! Of course i am all in favor against the

To Protect Intellectual Freedom In our society‚ there are those who support intellectual pluralism and those against it. Today‚ there are still those who are prejudiced towards minorities (racists‚ homophobes‚ sexists‚ etc.) and their ideas still thrive as they are passed on through generations; it would be impossible to remove these ideas from America. Many claim that microaggressions and severe prejudices are very damaging to the groups who receive such “hate” and “verbal violence‚” but they are

some sort of credibility as a free speech advocate‚ supposedly in contrast to what he will continue to speak about. While there is no mystery why he does this in my estimation‚ in so doing he perpetuates what I believe to be a fundamental misconception about free speech as it relates to law and the continued health of democracy. If free speech is to have any power at all‚ the ability to shout down ideas that have no value must remain. Freedom to criticize and freedom to create legislation based on that

All joking aside‚ if I were to rule the world there would be three things in particular that I would change: elimination of all countries‚ enforce the freedom of speech‚ belief and sexuality‚ and the eradication of the class system. Well‚ when I say that I would like to abolish all countries‚ I feel as though some of you may think that that is ridiculous. For some people‚ their nation is their pride! Why take
