Snowflakes Get Right About Free Speech Analysis
Here, I will introduce the main points of three different articles about the freedom of speech and expression called “What ‘Snowflakes’ Get Right About Free Speech” by Ulrich Baer, Guo Jian’s report “California, A University Student Sued the School Violated the Freedom of Speech”, and “Global Press Freedoms Weakening, Group Warns” written by Kevin Drew. Each of these sources make it obvious that freedom of speech is something being violated in everyday life, and we need to fight for the right to express our words, and not allow anyone to shut us down.
Ulrich Baer focuses his article on the fact that no matter how you would like to express yourself, through words or anything else, you should be able to do it without anyone telling you that you …show more content…
In the text, the author explains the issue that this 24-year-old has. The text states, “Now 24-year-old Nicolas Thomas (Nicolas Thomas) is a student at the school nutrition, the fall of 2013, when he began distributing leaflets, propaganda committed vegetarian lifestyle, farm animals being treated the way has also been condemned. ‘I’m passionate about animal rights, one of the things we can do is advocate vegetarian life,’ he said. At that time he has achieved some success. According to statistics Thomas himself, within a few hours he was able to distribute hundreds of flyers. Most of his students this approach is not objectionable. But he was often blocked by managers.” This piece of evidence proves that Nicolas Thomas was not being permitted to share his opinions and thoughts about something he felt very passionate about onto flyers. Guo Jian also proves this in the text when he writes about how Thomas cannot hand out his flyers within 154 feet of the school yard. In the article, Thomas said, “I think it’s unconstitutional, a violation of my freedom of speech” ("California, A University Student Sued the School Violated the Freedom of Speech" 1). He said, but school administrators refused to negotiate …show more content…
They definitely need their rights protected. The article starts off with Drew introducing the fact that reporters are being harassed all over the world. In my opinion, most reporters and journalists just want to collect important data to share with the world and make others aware, which can help them, but they cannot do their jobs if every time they go to interview someone, they get injured because some ignorant people do not see the importance in spreading important news. The text mentions the safety of journalists in multiple countries. This is evidence of compare and contrast because they were comparing the safety of some countries with others. For example, the numbers were ranked, signifying that there was some kind of “contest”. It is awful to think that countries are so unsafe for reporters, that they had to be ranked for their safety. The text clearly argues, “ ‘There is definitely concerns of what is happening in the U.S., with journalists being harassed.’ ” When their speaking rights are taken away from them, people would naturally feel violated and feel as if they have tape over their mouths, preventing them from speaking. In this case, I think that journalist all over the world feel violated because they are shown so much violence and no respect. Another
