Freedom of speech and censorship

Freedom of speech and censorship

Before talking about freedom of speech, we should know what it is. Freedom of speech is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or a community to articulate their opinions and ideas without fear of government retaliation, censorship, or sanction.

In an ideal world, everyone could talk about whatever they want without any fears, but we're not in an ideal world. In truth, the problem is not from the world, but from the people who live in it. Before talking about freedom of speech, I would like to talk about Human Rights. In our society, we tend to punish everyone who’s different. Just have a look, and you’ll see that there are a lot of people who suffer just because they are the way they are . Black people, gays, women, lesbians, transsexuals,…

I would like to explain what I’m trying to say with a clear example : inequality between sexes. Since the beginning of time, women have been treated in a different way by the simple fact of being women. And now that the world begins to change, it’s said that women only want to be over men. Just to be clear : Feminism is a range of political movements, ideologies, and social movements that share a common goal: to define, establish, and achieve political, economic, personal, and social equality of sexes.This includes seeking to establish educational and professional opportunities for women that are equal to those for men.

In conclusion, the reason why there’s censorship is because not everyone accepts all the opinions. We’re all different and that’s what makes us exceptional. We should start to worry less about others ideas. Everyone deserves to be treated the same way.
