The Pros And Cons Of Freedom Of Expression

No matter how many struggles are going on around the world about equality, it will never seize to exist completely. There will always be someone who has more power and more benefits in life than another person. Take the workplace for instance, there always has to be someone in charge, and the higher you are in terms of titles, the more advantages you get and the more that people will listen to you.

From Murdoch and Fox News to Disney, and its creation of the copyright law, this theory applies to all aspects of work or life. The phrase Freedom of Expression is dead and gone.
