Freedom of Speech

The issue on freedom of speech is very delicate because there are so many things that could fall into that category. The reading all had to deal with it and court cases that pertained to the freedom. I don’t agree with all of the verdicts and decisions that the courts made.

The one that dealt with the Westboro church is a little gut wrenching because it surprises me that someone would want to treat another human being like that. It is even worse that the person that died was a soldier and fought for the lives of the people that are protesting.

There are others like the cyber-bullying and how it has to be a real threat for the police or government to step in and take control. I personally think that some Americans need to get some common sense and learn how to control their emotions without hurting another person. the internet has changed many aspects of our community and how we interact with other people.

The Bill of rights and constitution were made to change and adapt to different and new things that happen in America. Now it is up to the Supreme Court to interpret them and make changes to them on new issues that appear.
