The Appropriate Use of Freedom of Speech

“Do you know where here is? Here is the ELI, if you want to speak Chinese, please go out.” Can you think of Mr. Cranker and the English Only Policy while seeing these kinds of sentences? He always uses a gentle intonation to say these words and repeats them thousands of times with endless patience day by day in the hall. Actually, speaking English in the ELI is non-negotiable and responsible; furthermore, this policy enables students to learn English more effectively and efficiently regardless of subduing foreign students’ freedom of speech. This Policy is a great paradigm of overturning the freedom of speech somewhat; moreover, society cannot be regulated with one hundred percent freedom until the world can become safe and sound universally. Therefore, freedom of speech is a human entitlement, but how to use it in an appropriate approach is a considerably problematic issue. The government and sub organizations should not completely defer to freedom of speech in specific situations; also, citizens have the obligation of stabilizing society and avoiding arguments or disturbances in public.

If all incidences were appraised and judged by freedom of speech, the country would be chaotic, turbulent or possibly even be destroyed. Freedom of speech is written in the constitution, which means its spirit should be protected and obeyed. However, the constitution just consists of short clauses; everyone can interpret it in their own way and perform with their own ideologies. In this perplexing situation, the government should supplement several details, and each leader himself should add his own opinion of it under the essential principle that the constitution cannot be concocted. Also, freedom of speech eliminated in specific situations is...

...y the government. Please remember that the motivation of the colonists who came to America was to avoid the persecution from the dictators who deprived their deserved freedom and to find a peaceful land to live in. If contemporary people forget this motive and persist in abusing freedom of speech to express themselves, they will follow the same old disastrous road and be in a devil of a hole.

In conclusion, both the government and citizens need to make a contribution to mollify the paradox of freedom of speech, and the country needs to be constructed by everybody’s positive behaviors and negative thoughts. Nevertheless, please avoid using any kind of freedom in impertinent ways, and remember the reason that we can have a safe and sound life is from the ancestors’ painstaking thoughts and efforts. Therefore, please use your right, freedom of speech, in the right way!
