Freedom Of Speech In Plessy Vs. Ferguson

Edwards V. South Carolina is about how 187 black petitioners marched on South Carolina State House grounds to peacefully protest segregation in their state. The group was confronted by police and were threatened to be arrested if they didn’t stop, but they kept protesting and started singing religious and patriotic songs. The protestors were later arrested and convicted for disrupting peace.

In the event between Texas vs Johnson, Johnson could have expressed freedom of speech in a different way. The American flag has such a symbolic symbol, it represents lives that fight for our freedom so it means so much more than just the president’s administration. The consequence of the matter is unjustified. The point of my paper is that there are other ways of expressing freedom of speech than burning the flag. So Johnson should had a more suitable punishment for his

In a letter to his great friend and mentor, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison wrote in the fall of 1788, “Wherever there is interest and power to do wrong, wrong will generally be done… experience proves the inefficacy of a bill of rights on those occasions when its controul is most needed. Repeated violations of these parchment barriers have been committed by overbearing majorities in every state.” For the vast majority of his political career James Madison vehemently opposed a national Bill of Rights. Madison believed that the Constitution in its self, was the most effective way to protect the people’s rights and considered a Bill of Rights unnecessary. But for many living in modern America, along with the Constitution and the Declaration

Do The Right Thing is a showcase of racial tension and freedom of speech. One thing I applaud this movie for is resisting temptation to display either side as clearly “right.” It definitely displays prejudice on Sal’s side to choose only to display Italian-American’s on his wall, especially so given that his pizzeria is in a predominantly African-American neighborhood but in the same sense, his ignorance is his right, as is the choice to patron another restaurant.

Under the First Amendment’s Free Speech Clause a public flag burning in protest of a recently enacted law would protected because it is a form of expression (Hall, 2015). The Supreme Court has recognized more than just spoken words are protected rights under the Free Speech Clause, and freedom of expression through acts are included, so flag burning is a protected right (Hall, 2015). Next, an advertisement for potato chips found on a billboard is also protected under the Free Speech Clause. The advertisement is considered visual and written expression, which is a protected form of expression (Hall, 2015). Last, the placing of a hand over one’s heart while the national anthem is played is another form of nonverbal expression (Hall, 2015).

"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 press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"(Cornell University Law School.) The First Amendment of the constitution talks about the religious liberties given to the citizens of the United States. It protects the right to freedom of religion and freedom of expression from government interference and enforces the “separation of church and state” (Cornell University Law School.) The free exercise clause is another important clause that prohibits the government from interfering with a person’s practice of their religion. There are associations created just for this protection of religious rights. The Christian Law Association was made for many of the instances involving people “experiencing difficulty in practicing their religious faith because of governmental regulation, intrusion, or prohibition in one form or another” (Christianlaw.org) The basis of this research focus’ specifically on the question of the balance between religious rights and the other constitutionally given rights. This paper will go over and define the right’s given and will examine some of the court cases and issues involving the question and balance of religious rights and liberties.

Even though freedom of speech can be tricky, being able to excogitate is key to understanding what can be said under the first amendment is key. This will give you more confidence when you're talking about current events, it'll inhibit social interaction, but the biggest reason of all is understanding your rights will keep you out of jail. Even the supreme court struggles to determine what exactly constitutes protected speech. When trying to see if your covered by the first amendment, certain questions have to be displayed. Are we free to say whatever we want? Exactly what is freedom of speech, what can I say, and what can't I say and still be covered by the first amendment? Understanding the dilemma that freedom of speech just like anything

Freedom of speech is a fundamental human right. Whether or not on a college campus, people (especially college students) should have the right to speak freely. Everyone does have the right to speak freely, because it is one of the twenty-seven amendments. Colleges all around the United States are now home to many restrictions on free speech. For example, the idea and use of “free speech zones” has made its way to colleges everywhere. A “free speech zone” is a sidewalk sized place where students are allowed to speak their minds freely on college campuses. I know what you’re thinking. This sounds ridiculous. Why are there specific places for people to speak their minds? Aren’t colleges suppose to be a place where students speak their minds and learn new things? Universities should not be able to put any restrictions on free speech.

According to the Bill of Rights, we are afforded the freedom of speech through the first amendment. But this awarding of freedom is only allowed if it goes along with what the general population deems “normal”. During the middle part of the 1900’s many books were banned on political, religious, and moral views. While our society has changed these issues are still prevalent in today’s public views and opinions of author’s work. These books are not “normal” and that is why they play an unprecedented part in literature today. Books written in this era had a different political, religious, and moral atmosphere than those written in the modern day; but these same issues arise in today’s society.

On 3 July 2015, the Department received applications from Willie Creek Pearling Pty Ltd (WCP) and Clipper Pearls Pty Ltd (Clipper) requesting the issue of a new Pearling (Wildstock) Licence to WCP, and the transfer of quota and leases from Clipper to WCP. These applications were processed separately, with the application for a licence approved on 22 July 2015, and the application to transfer approved on 24 August 2015.

Having read both articles, each of which represents a side of the argument about free speech, I must argue that one is complete lunacy while the other makes complete sense. The lunatic article has to be the one from CNN. It effectively blames the speakers for the violence caused on university campuses. Why should a single speaker be blamed for the acts of snowflakes hiding behind black masks? Yes, the speakers are provocative as the article says, but that does not give anyone the right to destroy property and hinder the liberty of people who want to hear what the speaker wants to say. Antifa is violating the God-given rights of people who choose to hear someone's point of view on an issue in our society today.

There was once a Television show name “Berretta” and the show theme song said do not do crime if you cannot do the time. That is a true saying, one that should be on every criminal mind why they are committing a crime. Sentencing a criminal for crimes for which they have been convicted of is their due punishment according to the severity of the crime committed. The Courts have for centuries punished criminals according to the belief of the society in which the crime was committed.

Social media can connect millions of people together, in any instant location. However, many of these platforms, like Facebook and Twitter, have blasphemous users who fire up heated debates, following up with explicit language. Such opinions often times involve incitement and defamation targeted against the opposing party. However, because the First Amendment protects the freedom of speech, the U.S. Government has not strictly reprimanded the misuse of the amendment. Some citizens view hate speech as a form of speech that attacks and offends an individual or group based on their race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or ethnic origin while others see it as a part of the First Amendment, and having it appealed, will precede with negative criticisms. There are others who are not concerned of the topic at hand completely which identifies how impactful this problem is. It has been apparent more so on social media, where people demonstrate their right to freedom of speech because they are more likely to voice their opinions individually when others are not present. The debate still continues to decide if the First Amendment should be revised due to hate speech on social media since it has promoted indirect violence, incivility amongst the online communities and has lowered ethical codes in the American society.

Initially, when I began college, my major was biology. During my senior year, my career path began to evolve after taking a few psychology courses. To some extent, I was intrigued, but I also recall being unsure of the next step to take. I had a mental note of my revised career plan, but I did not have tangible plan to present to my advisor. Thus, my academic advisor recommended that I seek guidance from Career Services. At the time, I was not fully sold on the idea of making an appointment with Career Services and decided to use the internet instead of career advisor. I remember searching for “a career in psychology” and getting close to ten million search results. After several failed searches, I realized that is was too hard to determine what information was actually correct. Therefore, I concluded that it was probably best to follow my academic advisor’s advice to meet with Amanda Boland, the career consultant assigned to seniors with interest
