Considering
the social constructionists perspective, we "build worlds" based on
concepts that we share with others, such as language, culture, values and
beliefs. In other words, we "build worlds" through the interaction
with others, and the acceptance and adaptation of what become common ideas.
One idea, which has been intensely discussed in our culture, is Freedom of Speech. Freedom of speech is a powerful tool that allows individuals to express their opinions and ideas with others without government interference or punitive actions. The exchange of views gives people an equal opportunity to participate and influence decisions related to their life.
Freedom of speech is known as the basic foundation of democracy; however, the use of it is not always positive. While practicing their freedom of speech, people sometimes say things that we don't like, disagree with, and even things that offend us. Unfortunately, freedom of speech also includes hate speech, which can cause the receiver depression, fear, and in extreme situations even to suicide.

Hello Sunshine,
ReplyDeleteI feel that freedom of speech is definitely a part of our "world building" here in America. We automatically feel that freedom of speech is our right as human beings, because it is what we have been told all our lives. However, in other country’s they do not feel the same because they have never been told that they have the freedom to speak their mind. It is a world that we built here in America not a world that everyone else sees or lives in. As for hate speech it is a sad component of freedom of speech, it can suck people in and make them believe that everything that is said is true. Just like all Americans believe that freedom of speech is true and correct.
