Freedom?

Aizat Ismail.

I define free speech as a type of freedom that has its own category. A category which can be understood easily if we know the basic concept of free speech. Basically, I lack some parts of it but I know the values that exist within the free speech. In fact, it will not be necessarily true if we think of free speech as free speech, however, it would be much easier if we think of free speech as diverse viewpoints. By considering the opinions of others and not just constraints your thoughts only to something of your interests, would enable one to experience the true meaning of free speech. Again, if you engage in filtering, it means you are not engage in diverse viewpoints. For example, you focus more on Fox News in which the contents are toward more on conservative side and then you decide not to watch the New York News in which the contents are toward more on liberal side. Think about it. How is that going to help you learn the way things in our surrounding works and cooperate with each other? Is it even possible to say that one does engage merely in free speech which also known as diverse viewpoints when such act is applied in his or her daily life? As in individual, we can also define free speech as the rights of individual while for community or society; it is an expression of diversity of viewpoints. In the Unites States, free speech is expressed in the first amendment being stated that no restrictions should be established on expressions of our thoughts. That is why the term of diverse viewpoints is better to be used to describe the free speech and to think how freedom is much related to it.
