Freedom of Speech
What is freedom of speech? What does this mean to you as a blogger?
Freedom of Speech is in my opinion the ability and right to express yourself in any way you want to. This also means that you can not feel pressured or influenced to not say something because if you are then it is no longer freedom of speech. As we all know freedom of speech is a very important right. It is guaranteed under the protection of the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights in the United States. However, this does not mean that the United States is the only country with freedom of speech. Many countries all around the globe have approved the right to express yourself and has also even become a symbol for democracy. Today many people enjoy this right all around the globe and will continue to enjoy it in the time to come. To have freedom of speech is something that I myself enjoy. Thanks to the freedom of speech you are able to express yourself to the people who would like to read your explanation and now made possible through a blog. When people are able to express themselves like for example as a blogger, you will have a better overall point of view on a specific subject. Now you can feel free to express yourself in any way you want and to me this is very important. Enjoy your freedom.

Yes, I strongly agree that when people are able to express themselves, you will have a better overall point of view on a specific subject. Freedom of speech is important. Without it, you wouldn’t feel as free. Here is a question for you to think about:
Are there limits to freedom of speech? What happens if you pass that limit?

I had never really though about what you said: “Thanks to the freedom of speech you are able to express yourself to the people who would like to read your explanation and now made possible through a blog.” I did know that it allows you to express yourself to people who want to know more about it, but making it possible through a blog had not been one of my thoughts.
It is amazing to know that we can express through our blogs-or comments, like this one- what we want to communicate and share. Very good! Continue expressing yourself with freedom of speech.

I really enjoyed your post. I think that our definition of freedom of speech is very similar. We both agree that freedom of speech is a right we should all have. This right allows us to express ourselves in almost any way without crossing some moral boundaries. For example, you might want avoid insulting or criticizing specific people to avoid further troubles. IU also agree that we both enjoy freedom speech a lot and its something we will always appreciate.
