the doctor and found out it was Bell’s Palsy (which is when one side of your face is paralyzed.) I was devastated. In two weeks I was going to compete in our school pageant. I competed anyway without the judges knowing why I couldn’t smile and my speech was slurred. There were nine seniors in the pageant competing for the title and the rest were underclassmen. The underclassmen votes are what crowned me as Miss Congeniality. Earning the title as Miss Congeniality meant that a lot of young ladies

Freedom of speech‚ in my opinion‚ is being limited. It shouldn’t though. To have the freedom to speak our minds is what very little countries have. We‚ as Americans‚ are lucky to be one of the few to have that right. It shows where people stand on a two-sided argument or just a debut. It is also protected by the First Amendment under the words of - ‘Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion‚ or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech‚ or of the

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

“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

In this essay I will attempt to elaborate on John Stuart Mill’s view on Free Speech while also discussing how the opposing side would argue his view on the topic. In this specific topic Mill addresses whether people should be allowed to persuade or limit anyone else’s expression of opinion. Mill argues that everyone should share the equal opportunity of free speech. He supports his theory with four arguments. Mill’s first view is that it is wrong to silence one’s opinion. Actually he would also
