Personally speaking‚ education institutions should not adopt a speech code that regulates hate speech. First of all‚ everyone has the moral right to free speech. It means that people have the right to express their opinions freely‚ whether the opinion is right or wrong. At this point‚ a speech code conflicts with the moral right to free speech because it restricts people’s right. We can refute the wrong statements‚ but we cannot forbid them.

The New Testament does not say anything about whether or not a believer should get a tattoo. In relation to tattoos and body piercings‚ a good test is to determine whether we can

The informative speech was better concerning the delivery‚ the speech flowed better and I was also more confident with my speaking ability which showed because I did not stumble over my words as much as the narrative speech. The narrative speech was not as extemporaneous as the informative speech‚ because I practice it much more almost memorizing what I was going to say.

Free speech is a right that every human on earth should have. Ideas and words should be a free market‚ no one idea should be suppressed‚ no one idea sould be granted special treatment under the law. Let debates decide dominant ideas‚ not by censoring them. I believe every country should operate like that‚ but only 60% of the earth lives with the right to free speech‚ while only 15% has freedom of the press. Why? Because of partisan beliefs on how a government should be run? Because there is a real
