We can also stand up for things we believe in since we have the right. In the film “This is what democracy looks like”, we witness non-violent protestors who are protesting against the WTO and are being stripped of their right of freedom of speech and freedom of association just because the state has a problem with the type of protest that is occurring. Non-violent protestors are being arrested during the WTO meeting without a causal reason. I will argue that the state did not follow the criminal justice

“Hey! You in the blue shirt. You are going to hell.” A few moments before the wrath of the malevolent lady, I was walking across campus to my class as a pleasant breeze carrying a mixture of fragrances flew past me. The sun’s warmth was soothing against the side of my cheek and areas of shades of serving as safe havens from the warmth was delightful. The Beatle’s “Got to get you into my life” drowned out other surrounding noises. Walking to my own beat and singing along in my head I was headed towards
care if it helps anyone else, as long as it helps himself he will continue the fight. As Ellen Goodman puts it “he’s the catch that comes with the freedom of speech.” We can’t say what we want when we want but he can. The Constitution gave us the privilege of freedom of speech but Larry Flynt believed it to be a right. Just because the law says freedom of speech doesn’t mean that it is an automatic right.

Political Freedom: Arendt and de Tocqueville Freedom in America emanates from the state of political freedom held by the citizens. Both Hannah Arendt and Alexis de Tocqueville provide criticism of the apparent shape freedom maintains in America as well as insight regarding how they perceive true political freedom. By using the observations and criticisms of de Tocqueville and the vision of Arendt, the position of modern America and its relation to the ideals of political freedom can be understood
Many great thinkers have brought up questions, theories and even arguments as to whether there is a direct correlation between education, as a whole, and political freedom.

Advocates for open borders claim that border restrictions infringe upon one or more basic human rights, such as the freedoms of movement and association (Kukathas 212).

artists around the world, including America, are being tormented and silenced for their freedom of expression? It sounds a little strange to think that in the twenty-first century a human can still be suppressed from expressing itself however it wants. A slender yet plentiful amount of artists to this day feel like they are left in the pouring rain when everyone is protected by the government’s umbrella of freedom of speech.
